An Air Canada Airbus A320-200, registration C-FXCD performing flight AC-403 from Montreal,QC to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 101 people, was on approach to Toronto's runway 24R when the crew declared emergency reporting a hydraulic issue. The green hydraulic system had failed, there was sufficient pressure remaining in the system however to complete a normal gear extension. The aircraft touched down safely about 13 minutes after declaring emergency, while the aircraft slowed through 70 knots the brakes switched to alternate. The aircraft stopped safely on the runway, hydraulic fluid was subsequently observed leaking from the left hand engine (CFM56) cowling. The aircraft was towed off the runway.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the left hand green Hydraulic Control Unit pipe.
