Narrative:

On climb out, during landing gear up latch check, the right hydraulic quantity dropped to '0' quart quantity. Right hydraulic pressure low light soon followed. Cockpit operating manual procedures for hydraulic pressure low were complied with. Dispatch and maintenance control were informed of mechanical status. In consideration of remaining healthy hydraulic system, WX and distance from atl and to dtw, I elected to continue to detroit. In preparation for landing and following company operations manual procedures for existing hydraulic problem, landing gear could not be lowered by normal means. Emergency gear extension procedures as per the company operations manual were used and the landing gear extended and locked normally. The landing was, in all other respects, normal. After clearing the runway at the highspd exit the aircraft was inspected by airport emergency personnel and maintenance personnel. The landing gear doors were secured and the gear safety pins installed. The aircraft was towed to gate and the passenger deplaned normally. Throughout the flight, dispatch and maintenance control were kept informed. The passenger were also thoroughly briefed by myself. At this time I have no knowledge of any negative comments by passenger.

Title: MLG LOST R HYD SYS AFTER TKOF ATL, CONTINUED TO DTW.

Narrative: ON CLBOUT, DURING LNDG GEAR UP LATCH CHK, THE R HYD QUANTITY DROPPED TO '0' QUART QUANTITY. R HYD PRESSURE LOW LIGHT SOON FOLLOWED. COCKPIT OPERATING MANUAL PROCS FOR HYD PRESSURE LOW WERE COMPLIED WITH. DISPATCH AND MAINT CTL WERE INFORMED OF MECHANICAL STATUS. IN CONSIDERATION OF REMAINING HEALTHY HYD SYS, WX AND DISTANCE FROM ATL AND TO DTW, I ELECTED TO CONTINUE TO DETROIT. IN PREPARATION FOR LNDG AND FOLLOWING COMPANY OPS MANUAL PROCS FOR EXISTING HYD PROB, LNDG GEAR COULD NOT BE LOWERED BY NORMAL MEANS. EMER GEAR EXTENSION PROCS AS PER THE COMPANY OPS MANUAL WERE USED AND THE LNDG GEAR EXTENDED AND LOCKED NORMALLY. THE LNDG WAS, IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, NORMAL. AFTER CLRING THE RWY AT THE HIGHSPD EXIT THE ACFT WAS INSPECTED BY ARPT EMER PERSONNEL AND MAINT PERSONNEL. THE LNDG GEAR DOORS WERE SECURED AND THE GEAR SAFETY PINS INSTALLED. THE ACFT WAS TOWED TO GATE AND THE PAX DEPLANED NORMALLY. THROUGHOUT THE FLT, DISPATCH AND MAINT CTL WERE KEPT INFORMED. THE PAX WERE ALSO THOROUGHLY BRIEFED BY MYSELF. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS BY PAX.
