Synopsis
A320 flight crew reported loss of Green Hydraulic System fluid in flight. The flight Crew requested priority handling and made a precautionary landing at destination airport.
Narrative
As we started our descent into ZZZ near ZZZZZ intersection at FL320 we had an ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor) HYD G RESR LO LVL. I flew while PM (Pilot Monitoring) ran the ECAM checklist. HYD Quantity was zero. Contacted Dispatch and informed them of the situation and requested runway data for Runway XXC and to have fire equipment and tug ready for our arrival. We determined that [requesting priority handling] with ATC would be helpful and the best course of action due to loss of steering and some of the brake functions along with 1 thrust reverser; as well as possibility of fire from all the fluid loss. I called FA (Flight Attendant) with a briefing of situation and informed her would be a normal landing with some precautions. I informed passengers of same. We requested a 20 mile final so we had extra time for slower flaps and manual gear extension. We slowed to 210 kts. and configured aircraft around 4;000 feet. Normal landing and slowed to safe taxi speed and made [Taxiway] 1 turnoff with differential braking and rudder. Stopped aircraft; set brakes and communicated with fire rescue. No issues; tug was at our aircraft in a few minutes to pull us back to gate after completing tow in checklist after starting APU and shutting down engines.
Second reporter narrative
On descent into ZZZ approximately near ZZZZZ at FL320 we received an ECAM HYD G RSVR LO LVL. Captain continued flying while I ran the ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor). HYD System Quantity showed near zero. After ECAM was complete I went into the FM (Flight Manual) to complete checklist. Captain called Dispatch and had them run landing distance for Runway XXC. [Priority handling was requested] due to manual gear extension/Hyd fluid gone (unsure where it leaked; possible fire) and no nose wheel steering along w no normal brakes. Captain briefed FAs (Flight Attendants) and briefed passengers. We requested 20 mile final due slower configuration and manual gear extension. We slowed to 210 knots and configured with gear at 4;000 feet. Normal landing and we were at a slow taxi speed near [Taxiway] 1 and the Captain was able to clear runway with braking. Stopped; coordinated with fire/rescue. No issues; tug was right there. We had started the APU and shut down engines and ran tow-in checklist. Plane towed to gate without incident. ZZZ did a great job coordinating with tug team/fire rescue etc. Ended up 12 mins early.
