Narrative:
On visual approach; just outside the FAF; the first officer; who was the pilot flying; called for the gear down. I lowered the gear handle and immediately we got an ECAM for green hydraulic reservoir low level; ptu fault; and unsafe gear as a result of a loss of all the green hydraulic fluid. I followed the ECAM steps to secure the green hydraulic pump; the ptu; and to manually crank down the landing gear. We got three green down and locked indicators and landed uneventfully. After the first officer passed control to me at approximately 60 KTS; I managed to exit the runway at an intersection and bring the aircraft to a stop on the taxiway. We informed ATC; ramp control; and maintenance of our predicament and were subsequently towed to the gate.
