The aircraft operated by Cabo Verde Airlines (CVA), according to Log Page No. 120257, recorded two warnings during the cruise phase related to the hydraulic system. The first related to the amount of fluid in the left hydraulic system "L HYD QTY" and the second related to overheating of the right hydraulic system "R ENG HYD OVHT."
The incident resulted from a failure in the process of monitoring the operating conditions of the hydraulic system, i.e., an interruption in the continuity of the hydraulic system's operation and the consequent rupture of one of the tubes in the supply circuit of the right-hand main gear positioning control valve.
