I agree with the above comments that with GEN 1 inop and ENG 2 failed; the aircraft will be in EMER ELEC CONFIG with flaps inop.

However, the QRH Summary for EMER ELEC CONFIG assumes that flaps will be available. It gives a VAPP of VREF+5 using FLAP3 with associated landing distances (a factor of 1.2 on a dry runway). I think that with flaps at 0, the delta VREF should be 30 knots with a landing distance factor 1.6 dry. Bearing in mind that the QRH summary is intended to provide the information to apply the landing distance procedure, obviating the need to refer to QRH 2.40, then it appears that the pilots could be led into making an approach 25 knots too slow.

Any thoughts?
