## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM TOL TO ANC, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED A DECLINE IN THE MAIN HYDRAULIC QUANTITY SYSTEM.  THE FLIGHT CREW FOLLOWED COMPANY PROCEDURES AND CONTINUED TO ANC FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT WHICH REVEALED A LOOSE FITTING AT THE SWIVEL GLAND IN THE MAIN GEAR ACTUATOR.  MAINTENANCE TIGHTENED THE FITTING AND PERFORMED A SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL CHECK IAW THE DOUGLAS MM.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
