## Discrepancy

DURING APPROACH AFTER GEAR EXTENSION, THE LEFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM LOST ALL FLUID.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED WITH DFR EQUIPMENT CALLED OUT.  LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE RUPTURED NOSE GEAR STEERING HYDRAULIC LINE AND SERVICED THE LEFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.
