Spraying hydraulic fuel? Oh dear. Sounds terribly dangerous. Seconds from disaster!
SLF here, and not an engineer.

Isn't loss of hydraulic fluid a serious issue? As in...loss of landing gear, flaps, control surfaces, essential flyability of the aircraft?

Or is it a common occurrence, and not considered dangerous?
