A380 flying with reduced Hydraulic capacity for 13 hours ?
A mate of mine who isn't in the business alerted me to this - - - and its causing a heap of controversy in Australia over the lack of Engineering awareness that Qantas is displaying - - But - - I don't notice it in any of your Forums .

I normally don't log on to Pprune any more but check up as a guest - - ( The rather aggressive responses I got last time I posted gave me the Heebs - - but just in case any one else wants to know - - I will put it out on the Specs.Bal so I don't upset the "Experts Classes" .) - - Naturally Mea Culpa if its here and I didn't find it .

Even the complete failure of a single main hydraulic system in the 747 is not a cause for alarm, and does not require an early landing. It flies perfectly well with 3 of the 4 hydraulic systems operational. I suspect the 380 is similar.
