## Discrepancy

WHILE AT 13,000 FEET, PILOT NOTICED HYDRAULIC ANNUNCIATOR FLICKERING.  WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES, PILOT HAD COMPLETE HYDRAULIC FAILURE.  PILOT DEPLOYED LANDING GEAR IMMEDIATELY AND STARTED DESCENT.  HE GOT 3 GREEN AND CONTINUED DOWN.  LANDED WITH NO MISHAP.  UPON INSPECTION, FOUND ACTUATOR UP, HOSE RUPTURED.  PART WAS REPLACED WITH NEW PART. (X)
