Narrative:
During descent into our destination the aircraft lost all hydraulic fluid from its right side system. This caused the crew to lose autopilot; powered rudder; yaw damper; and partial spoilers in the air and on the ground; steering and co-pilot brakes. The crew ran appropriate checklists and notified ATC. Long ILS vectors were performed and a full stop landing was performed. All normal checklists were also performed and no aircraft or ATC limits were broken. The crew performed a normal landing in standard configuration (flown by the instructor pilot). Crash response met the crew at the jet and terminated the landing with no negative effects.
