## Discrepancy

BEFORE FIRST FLIGHT DURING HYDRAULIC TESTING, PILOT SWITCHED 'OFF' NR 2 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.  AFTER THE SYSTEM WAS SWITCHED BACK 'ON' PRESSURE INDICATION FELL OFF TOZERO.  A/C WAS SHUTDOWN.  SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE BRAIDED NR 2 HYDRAULIC HOSE FROM THE PUMP TO MIXING VALVE WAS BURST AT THE 45 DEGREE FITTING (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO).  HOSE REPLACED, A/C RETURNED TO SERVICE.
