## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT DECLARED EMERGENCY UPON DISCOVERING HYD SYS FAILURE AND LANDED. AFTER LANDING, THE PILOT HAD NO CONTROL OF NOSE WHEEL STEERING OR BRAKES AND ACFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY TO RT, ONTO GRASS AND A DITCH. THE RT MLG BROKE OFF CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE ACFT BUT NO INJURIES. UPON INSP OF THE HYD SYS BY MX, AN ALUMINUM TUBING WHICH IS PART OF THE HYD SYS PLUMBING IN THE RT WING WAS FOUND RUPTURED AT THE BEND RADIUS CAUSING LOSS OF HYD PRESSURE AND ALLOWING SYS FLUID TO LEAK OVERBOARD.
