Just a minor point but actually for a ditching with all engines flameout, the QRH procedure is to limit the selection to FLAP 1 only. It must be something to make sure that the limited hydraulic capacity is dedicated to the main flight controls, even if at this point the electrical hydraulic pumps could be running as well thanks to the APU and the RAT would be extented.
