I know the 767 (that I fly) better than the 757 (seems strange to be type-rated in an airplane I know so little about). Thought, though, that the folks would be interested to know that each of the three separate hydraulic systems have two sources of hydraulic pressure and each primary flight control surface is powered by two separate hydraulic systems.
The most challenging thing about a hydraulic system failure in the simulator is making sure you're on the correct QRH procedure (C ONLY), (R ONLY), etc.
Yes, that's true, Larry. I'm of course typed in both as well. Out training emphasizes the 757, then the differences with the 767, and you KNOW there are differences! The Quick Reference Handbook covers both. I'd'a done it different.....

...almost exactly what Benny Howard (1KPath Godfather) said to me before my first solo 45 years ago...and I still hear him say it every time I do a pre-flight walk around!
Maybe I got that from him through osmosis!
