Yes, I was too concise. The bomb 'slow' does not say how slow, just gives you 1/G as a hint. You land a the nearest available and better have fuel for that. But also can go slower, which is better and the same concept why the gear is down. 2+G and F speed is nice for structural considerations but the burnoff might be incompatible with distance to diversion field.
For the preciously discussed case, if you needed to divert after MisApch with gravity gear, what conf and speed to choose - that was my thought (at the absence of hints). Easy answer to that, clean but gear out.
The examples you give sound logical after thinking about them a bit. BTW did you had the chance to check the dispatch for gear down performance data and compare them to FlySmart with failure?
