## Discrepancy

THE AIRCRAFT LOST B-SYSTEM HYDRAULIC QUANTITY WHILE IN FLIGHT.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND LEAKAGE IN B-SYSTEM HYDRAULIC RETURN LINE AT CASE DRAIN TEE FITTING.  A FLEX LINE WAS INSTALLED AND A DIP WAS ISSUED TO REPLACE THE FLEX LINE WITH A PERMANENT LINE.  THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WAS SERVICED.  LEAK AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.
