A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration N813NW performing flight DL-56 from Salt Lake City,UT (USA) to Amsterdam (Netherlands), was on approach to Amsterdam's runway 18R when the crew declared Mayday reporting a hydraulic issue. The crew continued the approach for runway 18R and landed safely about 15 minutes later, vacated the runway and stopped for inspection by emergency services, who noticed something flushing off the aircraft and requested the left hand engine (PW4168A) to be shut down. The crew advised they needed to shut down both engines as they were developing a brakes issue, too. Ground advised they should shut down right there, emergency services were still concerned, a tow truck would tow them to the gate.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 3.5 hours, then was able to return to service.
