Narrative:
Flight crew on climb out got hydraulic pressure light. On further inspection found loss of fluid on left hydraulic system went to pom and accomplished abnormal procedure, but still lost all hydraulic fluid in the left system. I declared an emergency and returned to dfw for landing. Procedures were discussed and reviewed. WX in dfw was overcast and ILS to runway 17L was executed. We used 20 degree flaps and speed of 152 KTS. A normal landing was made, the runway was wet and a crosswind from the left. The nose wheel steering was inoperative as was the left engine reverser. Automatic spoilers were also inoperative. On touchdown I applied steady braking and went in reverse on right engine. The aircraft veered to the right. I came out of reverse and had full left rudder and hit left brake to get aircraft straight. I then started back to centerline of runway and went back into reverse. Aircraft came to a stop. 4 tires on left side were blown. No one injured, and no other damage to aircraft.

Title: LGT DURING CLB HAS HYD PRESSURE LIGHT. LOST ALL L HYD SYS FLUID. MADE EMER LNDG WITH BRIEF LOSS OF ACFT CTL.
Narrative: FLC ON CLBOUT GOT HYD PRESSURE LIGHT. ON FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND LOSS OF FLUID ON L HYD SYS WENT TO POM AND ACCOMPLISHED ABNORMAL PROC, BUT STILL LOST ALL HYD FLUID IN THE L SYS. I DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO DFW FOR LNDG. PROCS WERE DISCUSSED AND REVIEWED. WX IN DFW WAS OVCST AND ILS TO RWY 17L WAS EXECUTED. WE USED 20 DEG FLAPS AND SPD OF 152 KTS. A NORMAL LNDG WAS MADE, THE RWY WAS WET AND A XWIND FROM THE L. THE NOSE WHEEL STEERING WAS INOP AS WAS THE L ENG REVERSER. AUTO SPOILERS WERE ALSO INOP. ON TOUCHDOWN I APPLIED STEADY BRAKING AND WENT IN REVERSE ON R ENG. THE ACFT VEERED TO THE R. I CAME OUT OF REVERSE AND HAD FULL L RUDDER AND HIT L BRAKE TO GET ACFT STRAIGHT. I THEN STARTED BACK TO CTRLINE OF RWY AND WENT BACK INTO REVERSE. ACFT CAME TO A STOP. 4 TIRES ON L SIDE WERE BLOWN. NO ONE INJURED, AND NO OTHER DAMAGE TO ACFT.
