Below is an image of the guidance provided in the AFM for the Twin Otter, which is a 12,500 pound, high-wing, fixed gear, twin-turboprop aircraft.

As the text states, the guidance is speculative and generic, because no ditching trials were carried out. Several Twin Otters have been ditched due to fuel exhaustion with no injury or loss of life.
