Dash 8 hydraulics
It seems a Q-Link Dash 8 returned to CBR on Wednesday night on a CBR-SYD sector, due to a rather large hydraulic leak from the area of the left engine. Hydraulic fluid streaming back over the nacelle & into the slipstream.
Captain announced that the ensuing landing on 35 at was completed with no flaps & no brakes & that the figures showed they had 500m to spare. He turned off onto the taxiway at the end at low speed & used the emergency brake to stop.
I assume that the thing has more than 1 hydraulic system, but was wondering that was in fact the case. It would seem that there is no alternate flap extension & no alternate brake system except for the emergency brakes. Would someone like to confirm that? Thanks.
