## Narrative

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

(-23)DURING THE APPROACH TO THE DES MOINES AIRPORT, AFTER THE FLAPS AND LANDING GEAT WERE ENTENDED, THE CREW OBSERVED AN INFORMATION LIGHT FROM THE AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS STTING A MALFUNCTION IN THE LEFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAD OCCURRED. DURING AND AFTER LANDING, THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID PURGED.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE RUNWAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  AFTER LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED FROM THE RUNWAY TO THE GATE AND DEPLANNED OF ITS PASSENGERS.  NO INJURIES OF DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT.  UALA MECHANICS  DETERMINED THAT MALFUNCTION TO BE CAUSED BY A CRACK IN THE LEFT HYDRAULIC LINE NEAR THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR.  THE NEXT DAY PARTS WERE FLOWN IN TO ACCOMPLISH THE REPAIR.  UALA MECHANICS REPAIRED THE AIRCRAFT AND RETURNED IT INTO SERVICE.
