Narrative:
Dispatched with the #2 reverser inoperative due to a leak in an actuator. It was the airplane's first flight of the day and first flight since the maintenance was done. Pushback and taxi out to runway 22L were SOP. Captain was flying. Takeoff power was applied and at about 80 KTS we got an ECAM 'hydraulic Y reservoir low level caution.' I thought it had to do with the #2 reverser and continued the takeoff. At a safe altitude, the first officer pulled up the ECAM and went through the checklist. Via the checklist the leak was secured in the yellow system and we asked for vectors back to ord. All checklists were completed and dispatch was told of our situation and we made an uneventful overweight landing (about 150000 pounds) on runway 14R. Supplemental information from acn 607237: dispatched with #2 thrust reverser inoperative, #2 pack regulator inoperative. Initially requested runway 27L for winds and length. Center asked if we would take runway 14R. Winds were 9 KT crosswind. We agreed. On final, winds were 260 degrees at 19 KTS. We didn't know we would have a 19 KT crosswind until on short final. The captain reported some sluggishness with the roll rate, but he seemed to have no problem with the landing. He selected autobrakes 'med,' but on rollout, it seemed low would have been fine. As a result, our brake temperatures got to 600 degrees C. Dispatch declared an amber alert and the fire trucks followed us to the gate. It seemed like everything went pretty well.

Title: A320 CREW HAD AN ECAM 'HYD Y RESERVOIR LOW LEVEL' CAUTION COME ON AT ABOUT 80 KTS ON TKOF ROLL. THE CREW DID NOT DO A HIGH SPD ABORTED TKOF. THEY RETURNED TO THEIR DEP ARPT TO LAND.
Narrative: DISPATCHED WITH THE #2 REVERSER INOP DUE TO A LEAK IN AN ACTUATOR. IT WAS THE AIRPLANE'S FIRST FLT OF THE DAY AND FIRST FLT SINCE THE MAINT WAS DONE. PUSHBACK AND TAXI OUT TO RWY 22L WERE SOP. CAPT WAS FLYING. TKOF PWR WAS APPLIED AND AT ABOUT 80 KTS WE GOT AN ECAM 'HYD Y RESERVOIR LOW LEVEL CAUTION.' I THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE #2 REVERSER AND CONTINUED THE TKOF. AT A SAFE ALT, THE FO PULLED UP THE ECAM AND WENT THROUGH THE CHKLIST. VIA THE CHKLIST THE LEAK WAS SECURED IN THE YELLOW SYS AND WE ASKED FOR VECTORS BACK TO ORD. ALL CHKLISTS WERE COMPLETED AND DISPATCH WAS TOLD OF OUR SIT AND WE MADE AN UNEVENTFUL OVERWT LNDG (ABOUT 150000 LBS) ON RWY 14R. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 607237: DISPATCHED WITH #2 THRUST REVERSER INOP, #2 PACK REGULATOR INOP. INITIALLY REQUESTED RWY 27L FOR WINDS AND LENGTH. CTR ASKED IF WE WOULD TAKE RWY 14R. WINDS WERE 9 KT XWIND. WE AGREED. ON FINAL, WINDS WERE 260 DEGS AT 19 KTS. WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WOULD HAVE A 19 KT XWIND UNTIL ON SHORT FINAL. THE CAPT RPTED SOME SLUGGISHNESS WITH THE ROLL RATE, BUT HE SEEMED TO HAVE NO PROB WITH THE LNDG. HE SELECTED AUTOBRAKES 'MED,' BUT ON ROLLOUT, IT SEEMED LOW WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE. AS A RESULT, OUR BRAKE TEMPS GOT TO 600 DEGS C. DISPATCH DECLARED AN AMBER ALERT AND THE FIRE TRUCKS FOLLOWED US TO THE GATE. IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING WENT PRETTY WELL.
