Narrative:
On approach at about 10000 ft. We were losing #1 hydraulic fluid. Phase ones were performed and the fluid stabilized at about 1 gallon. While running the red tabs and doing the approach and landing checklist (gear down and flaps at 22 degrees extended); we got the hydraulic system 3 elevator off light illuminated and the quantity was at approximately 3 gallons. Phase ones were again performed and red tabs accomplishes. Emergency was declared and runway 36C was requested. Flaps were at 35 degrees extended (in takeoff position). Landing accomplished and aircraft stopped on runway and then towed to parking.

Title: A DC10-10 ON APCH TO ZZZ EXPERIENCED A DUAL HYD SYS FAILURE BECAUSE OF A FLUID LEAK. THEY DECLARED AN EMER AND LANDED.
Narrative: ON APCH AT ABOUT 10000 FT. WE WERE LOSING #1 HYD FLUID. PHASE ONES WERE PERFORMED AND THE FLUID STABILIZED AT ABOUT 1 GALLON. WHILE RUNNING THE RED TABS AND DOING THE APCH AND LNDG CHKLIST (GEAR DOWN AND FLAPS AT 22 DEGS EXTENDED); WE GOT THE HYD SYS 3 ELEVATOR OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE QUANTITY WAS AT APPROX 3 GALLONS. PHASE ONES WERE AGAIN PERFORMED AND RED TABS ACCOMPLISHES. EMER WAS DECLARED AND RWY 36C WAS REQUESTED. FLAPS WERE AT 35 DEGS EXTENDED (IN TKOF POS). LNDG ACCOMPLISHED AND ACFT STOPPED ON RWY AND THEN TOWED TO PARKING.
