Pilot:	Approach, Executive 56. We're having trouble controlling the attitude. It's difficult to establish level flight. Declaring an emergency. Executive 56.
Pilot:
А ТС:	Executive 56, roger your emergency. State intentions.
A TC:
Pilot:	We'd... er... like to come back to your airport but we are still trying to fight the pitch and bank. We've got low hydraulic pressure and we've got very little deflection on the elevator or ailerons. Executive 56.

АТС: Executive 56. Just tell те what you need and I'll get it for you.
Pilot: It's very difficult to pull or turn on the column ... er... we're using asymmetrical thrust... er... we're using the engines to turn. We can only make big turns. Executive 56.
АТС: Executive 56. Roger. Big turns only. Maneuver at your discretion. ~~ .
Pilot: We’re going to go out west and then make a straight in approach if that’s possible. We're fighting to keep it straight and level. We will need a very long final. I don't think we have spoilers, reverse thrust or brakes, so we'd like the longest runway possible. Exeaitive 56
