Narrative:

En route diversion to ind with #2 hydraulic failure. During climb out from cle we lost all #2 hydraulic system fluid. While the captain continued flying, the first officer worked the checklists, completing all the actions required. Together we reviewed the operations manuals and flight manuals for further information and guidance. Our conclusion after this review was that while the aircraft was not greatly affected by loss of only the #2 hydraulic system, without knowing the cause of the failure or the likelihood of also losing the #1 system or the #2 engine due collateral damage from the #2 hydraulic pump having come airport, that the best thing to do would be land at the nearest suitable field which dispatch advised was ind. So we did after circling just north of field for 6 mins to get down to maximum landing weight. We did not declare an emergency but did call for the crash fire rescue equipment equipment to look us over as a precaution against a fire caused by hydraulic fluid possibly getting on the brakes. We called for a tow to gate and had the gear pinned as a precaution against further hydraulic failure.

Title: FK10 CREW HAD #2 HYD SYS FAIL.

Narrative: ENRTE DIVERSION TO IND WITH #2 HYD FAILURE. DURING CLBOUT FROM CLE WE LOST ALL #2 HYD SYS FLUID. WHILE THE CAPT CONTINUED FLYING, THE FO WORKED THE CHKLISTS, COMPLETING ALL THE ACTIONS REQUIRED. TOGETHER WE REVIEWED THE OPS MANUALS AND FLT MANUALS FOR FURTHER INFO AND GUIDANCE. OUR CONCLUSION AFTER THIS REVIEW WAS THAT WHILE THE ACFT WAS NOT GREATLY AFFECTED BY LOSS OF ONLY THE #2 HYD SYS, WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE OR THE LIKELIHOOD OF ALSO LOSING THE #1 SYS OR THE #2 ENG DUE COLLATERAL DAMAGE FROM THE #2 HYD PUMP HAVING COME ARPT, THAT THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE FIELD WHICH DISPATCH ADVISED WAS IND. SO WE DID AFTER CIRCLING JUST N OF FIELD FOR 6 MINS TO GET DOWN TO MAX LNDG WT. WE DID NOT DECLARE AN EMER BUT DID CALL FOR THE CFR EQUIP TO LOOK US OVER AS A PRECAUTION AGAINST A FIRE CAUSED BY HYD FLUID POSSIBLY GETTING ON THE BRAKES. WE CALLED FOR A TOW TO GATE AND HAD THE GEAR PINNED AS A PRECAUTION AGAINST FURTHER HYD FAILURE.
