Had a malfunction/failure/problem with one hydraulic pump. Did not declare an emergency but ATC felt it nessasary to activate emergency services. It is in fact a non-event because the other pump is sufficient for full operation in that system. Hope it ended well because I was heading in the opposite direction!

I'm sure this evening's newspapers will carry reports of another near death experience in the air:zzz:

As mentioned only one of two A sys hydraulic pumps failed. The other one was working fine.
The problem is you cannot dispatch with only one A pump. Jnb is the main maintanance hub for CE to replace the pump.

Hey guys,
Was reading this thread with interest....made a call to a very good friend of mine at CE......no-one at CE has any knowledge about this incident so I would be interested in finding out how you guys came to hear of it.
