## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT DEPARTED CGF, DURING THE CLIMB THE PILOTS NOTICED THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE DECREASING IN FLIGHT. THEY CONTACTED TOWER AND RQUESTED RETURN TO CGF. DURING RETURN TO CGF AIRCRAFT LOST HYD PRESSURE. LANDING GEAR WAS EXTENDED AND AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH NO PROBLEMS. TECHNICIANS FOUND STEEL LINE ATTACHED TO HYD ACCUMULATER CRACKED. REPLACED LINE AND ACCUMULATER AND NUMBER 1 AND 2 ENGINE HYD PUMPS DUE TO THE PSSIBILITY OF OIL STARVATION.
