## Discrepancy

DURING DESCENT FROM DXB TO BRU, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED A DECLINE IN THE THE HYDRAULIC QUANTITY SYSTEM.  THE FLIGHT CREW FOLLOWED COMPANY PROCEDURES AND CONTINUED TO BRU FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND LOCATED A DEFECTIVE FLAP ACTUATOR ON THE LEFT INBOARD SIDE.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR AND PERFORMED AN OPERATIONAL CHECK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DACO MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
