Correct, two Hydraulic systems:

The Mnemonic goes B-FAIR LONGER

#1 System:
B - Brakes
F - Flaps
A - Anti Skid system
I - Inboard Roll Spoilers
R - #1 Rudder Actuators

L - Landing Gear
O- Outboard Roll Spoilers
N - Nose Wheel Steering
G - (no longer used)
E - Emergency Brake (park brake)
R - #2 Rudder Acutators

That was for the Classic. The Q400 is similar.

So yes, if you lose #1 system you only have the emergency brake (more likely three applications instead of four, done very carefully as there is no anti-skid) and you'll be landing with zero flap.

If you lose #2 system there is an alternate gear extension system that will get the gear down.

DIVOSH!
