Hi 100.above,
so really they shouldn't even list it as an inop system at all!
It depends on why you have low system HYD pressure.
If it is due to a failed pump, then ECAM will ask you to turn on the Y HYD ELEC pump to restore the pressure and ALTN BRKS Inop will not be listed.
"If yellow sys lost by ENG 2 PUMP LO
PR:
YELLOW ELEC PUMP ..... ON"
If it is because you've lost all the fluid, then ALTN BRKS Inop will be listed because you won't even have anything useful in Y Accumulator.
