FBW doesn't need any such procedures, since there is no way to

Don't underestimate the capabilities of a trained, experienced crew to
cope with equipment failure. Case in point, United flight 232 at Sioux
City, Iowa. Despite complete hydraulic loss and concomitant loss of
flight controls the crew was able to bring the aircraft to what turned
out to be a survivable crash for most of the occupants. Though the
outcome was not as favorable as we might have hoped, it was
considerably better than "doomed," and the flight crew can be fully
credited with that measure of success.

In-flight emergencies are like a box of chocolates, you never know
what you're gonna to get.
