## Discrepancy

(CAN) THIS HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LINE WHIICH IS LOCATED IN THE LT WHEEL WELL FAILED WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED FOR LANDING.  THE FLIGHT CREW ACTIVATED THE "BLOW DOWN" BOTTLE TO RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR INTO THE LOCKED POSITION AND THE ACFT LANDING WITHOUT INCIDENT.  IT WAS FOUND THAT THIS ALUMINUM PRESSURE LINE HAD SPLIT NEAR THE END FITTING, SPEWING HYDRAULIC FLUID THROUGHOUT THE WHEEL WELL AREA.
