## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO LOOSE BOTH A AND B SYSTEM HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID.  BOTH SYSTEMS WERE SECURED AND THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED, USING MINIMUM BRAKING AND REVERSE THRUST.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS STOPPED ON THE RUNWAY, THE LANDING GEAR WAS PINNED BY MAINTENANCE AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED CLEAR OF THE RUNWAY.
