Good evening all,I have been flying this bird for a few months now and loving every minute of it. This last week I have noticed a 'Hyd' message in yellow in the list of messages below engine parameters on the third display. Anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it? It hasn't stopped me flying successfully.Thanks.Brett Williamson

If you have failures set, it's an issue with the hydraulic system. You use the QRH (quick reference handbook) to troubleshoot the issue.

I understand there must be an issue but I don't have failures set on. I will check the QRH and see if it helps.ThanksBrett Williamson

Brett,The usual crew action when receiving a warning down here is to:- Click on the associated system display page button (down by the engine start switches),- identify and (if possible) fix the issue, then- click the ENG system display page button to acknowledge the warning and return to the normal display arrangement. Note that the yellow 'HYD' indication will remain on the EAD as long as an abnormal situation exists.In your specific case, you would click on 'HYD', the system synoptic (i.e. schematic diagram) will pop up on the system display screen and usually the issue is evident in yellow. Check the three system pressures in particular, are they all at or near 3000psi?It's hard to know exactly what has occurred on this occasion as you don't mention the phase of flight, nor whether the message stayed on the EAD, but it's not uncommon to see this message pop up when operating the gear, as that uses a lot of hydraulic pressure. Usually it goes away after the gear has stopped traveling.If you can provide more specifics we can look into the issue further. Cheers!

I just flew a PW powered MD-11 from Melbourne to Sydney and the issue didn't appear this time.When it has appeared the last week, I click on the 'HYD' system synoptic and the display screen shows all systems in green close to 3,000psi.I am now thinking it may be my FS playing silly buggers. Maybe using another aircraft before the MD -11 has caused FS to act a little strange. Like I said above, it hasn't stopped me flying it.I will post again if it reappears.Thanks for you help.Brett Williamson
