As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-5)AIRCRAFT WAS AT CRUISE, ENROUTE TO ALT FROM BNA. APPROXIMATELY 35 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT BOTH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE GAUGES STARTED TO FLUCTUATE AND THEN WENT TO '0' PRESSURE.  THE AIRCRAFT INCURRED A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FAILURE.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO BNA.  AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS DECLARED AND THE LANDING GEAR AND FLAPS WERE ACTIVEATED BY MEANS OF THE EMERGENCY HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AND RETURNED SAFELY TO THE GATE.  THE CREW DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF GETTING THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO BNA AND ON THE GROUND.  THE R/H HYDRAULIC PUMP RETURN LINE HAD REUPTURED AS A RESULT OF CHAFING THE COMPRESSOR DRAIN LINE.  THE LINE WAS RELACED AND ALL ALSO #1 AND #2 ENGINE DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMPS.  THE SYSTEM FILTERS WERE INSPECTED AND REPLACED, NO EVIDENCE OF METAL NOTED.  THE ENTIRE AIRCRAFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WAS BLED I/A/W THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  GEAR, FLAP AND BRAKE SYSTEMS WERE LEAK AND FUNCTIONALLY CHECKED WITH NO DISCREPANCIES NOTED.
