In the P-47 Thunderbolt Flight Manual is a chapter on Ditching. It is three sentences long.

Don't Stall.
Don't Ever Stall.
Don't Ever Ever Stall.

The nose will Pitch Pole, and disintegrate. No more Sully, no More Skiles, and probably most the rest. FBW not an issue, whatever. IMO.

In his book 'Make Better Landings' Alan Bramson refers to the myth of the full stall landing. He said 'What happens when a well behaved aircraft stalls? The nose drops. What happens when a not so well behaved aircraft stalls? The nose and a wing drop.'
I might not be quoting exactly as its aboy 25 years since I read it but you get the drift.
