First post (so please be gentle!) and seeking some basic information regarding Airbus hydraulics. Looking into a situation where an aircraft developed a yellow system hydraulic leak in the number 2 engine pylon area when descending into airport (PMI). As a result replacement pipes were required and these were obtained from Airbus Hamburg.
Grateful for any comments regarding
- Suggested time to fit replacement parts (min/max) given limited description above
- Given PMI is one of EU's busiest summer airports is it normal for parts to be obtained from Hamburg? Noted that Air Berlin seem to have a fleet of A320/321 based at PMI
- This failure seems quite common ~ is there a log anywhere regarding the frequency?
- Finally and not really related to this specific question but if I know the flight number/date/airline is it possible to find the a/c registration?
Thanks all ~ Happy New Year.
