    The APU doesn’t have a hydraulic system. There are three redundant electric pumps however, and these can run off the battery. Regardless, I don’t believe there was any issue with the hydraulics as the plane was well controlled on the final approach.

      I see what you mean. It’s not directly connected I see. Only indirectly via electrical pump as you pointed out.

      It is curious that no flaps or spoilers were deployed. Maybe the control was not as great as it appeared. The plane did touch down a long way down the runway.
