## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE OPERATION IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF "A" HYD SYS.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED, MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION WAS EXECUTED AND THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  POST FLIGHT INSP WAS PERFORMED NOTING THAT THE FLAP DRIVE MOTOR WAS LEAKING.  R & R FLAP DRIVE MOTOR, OPS CHECKS GOOD. NO OTHER DEFECTS NOTED.  ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
