FE, they have made some changes from the Classic. The complete checklist for a HYD PRESS SYS 1, 2, 3, 4 is


1. DEMAND PUMP selector (affected system) - ON
2. ENGINE PUMP switch (affected system) - OFF
3. Do not accomplish the following checklist - HYD PRESS ENG
4. Choose one:
HYD PRESS SYS message blanks: Continue normal operations. ....
HYD PRESS SYS message stays shown - Go to step 5
5.DEMAND PUMP selector (affected system) - OFF
6. There are three pages of what you've lost based on what system you've lost. For system 4 it lists;
Right outboard elevator inop - Pitch control is reduced
Outboard trailing edge flap hydraulic operation inop - Trailing edge flaps move in secondary mode. Secondary extension from flaps 1 to 5 requires approximately 4 minutes. During approach, allow extra time for flap extension.
Two inboard spoiler panels on each wing inop - Roll rate and spoiler capability are reduced.
Wing gear hydraulic extension and retraction inop - Alternate gear extension is needed.
System 4 normal brake source inop - system 1 and 2 alternate brake sources are available.
Autobrake inop - Manual braking is needed.
7. Recall switch - Push
8. Choose one:
Only one HYD PRESS SYS message is shown - Go to step 9
More than one HYD PRESS SYS message is shown - Land at the nearest suitable airport, blah, blah, blah and go to step 9.
9. Do not use autoland.


It's got it's own descent checklist and then splits again based on which system or systems are inop. For system 4 you go to All Other System Failure Conditions. It starts with the note again that the trailing edge flaps will be in secondary mode and take 4 minutes from 1 to 5 and not to accomplish the FLAPS PRIMARY checklist. It then goes to:


Alternate Gear Extension


Landing gear lever - OFF
Do not exceed the gear EXTEND limit speed (270/.82M)
There's a warning the action is irreversible
ALTN GEAR EXTEND WING switch - ALTN
There's a warning the action is irreversible
ALTN GEAR EXTEND NOSE/BODY switch - ALTN


Reduction of speed to below .60 Mach may be needed for the wing gear to lock down.
When all gear are down: Landing gear lever - DN

There's a note if System 4 is inop to extend the ground spoilers manually and slowly And then it goes to the landing checklist.
