## Discrepancy

WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FROM THE SENDING HOSPITAL WITH A PATIENT ONBOARD, THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A HYD 2 CAUTION LIGHT & A REDUCTION IN INDICATED FLIGHT HYD PRESS TO APPROXIMATELY 60 PSI.  EXECUTED THE EMERGENCY PROCEDURE BY THE CHECKLIST & RETURNED TO THE SENDING HOSPITAL WITHOUT FURTHER ISSUES.  INSPECTED THE HELICOPTER & PERFORMED SEVERAL GND RUNS WITH THE PILOT, THE FAULT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED & THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE & FLOWN BACK TO THE BASE.
