“no hydraulics”

The bird strike will not take out hydraulics. Raising flaps after the bird strike indicates they still had hydraulics.
The smooth control on landing indicates they had hydraulics.

Raising flaps whilst on landing approach? I believe was the case. Could be wrong. However, a hit on one engine shouldn’t take out redundant hydraulics. However, I never flew the airliner types...’twas the fast stuff that could pull Gs and cause excitement.

Landing gear can be lowered manually without hydraulics—so it will be interesting to see why that landed with the gear up.
