Haha, already have the QRH open because of the other thread. Bomb is for level flight after descent with CF 1 + L/G down, suggesting 'LO SPD'.

This brings another question, which flaps and speed profile would one choose to minimize fuel burn. It's an edge case only relevant for loss of G HYD at take-off with weather below minima (TKOF alternate).

The idea of calculating this for a MisAPCH from DES after a failure is a bit vain because you won't have 3x the fuel normally needed to ALTN, so no point of diverting.

The other combinations seem only theoretical such as diversion en route (EMERG ELEC) but G/A from the chosen airport, after which a leg to a different backup field needs to be flown.
