What was found
ON SHORT FINAL TO KPDK, THE PLANNED DESTINATION, THE FLIGHT CREW DETECTED THAT THE HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL WAS DECREASING RAPIDLY. THE CREW DID NOT HAVE TIME TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED. AS THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DEPLETED, THEY HAD RESIDUAL HYDRAULICS TO APPLY INITIAL BRAKING AND WERE ABLE TO STEER THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE ACTIVE BEFORE THE SYSTEM TOTALLY DEPLETED. AFTER DEPARTING THE ACTIVE, THEY DEPLOYED THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM AND CAME TO REST WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE DISCOVERED A RUPTURED HYDRAULIC HOSE FOR THE LT MAIN LANDING GEAR INBOARD DOOR ACTUATOR ON THE CLOSE PORT. THE HOSE WAS REPLACED, SYSTEM SERVICED AND BLED AND ALL OPERATIONAL CHECKS REQUIRED ACCOMPLISHED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE ON 5/2/08.
