Narrative:

The event was a successful emergency evacuate/evacuation of passenger. The cause was from hydraulic smoke fumes coming into the cabin after aircraft was stopped. The right hydraulic system failed 1 hour into the flight. The crew performed the abnormal checklist and planned for all possible scenarios upon our arrival at iah. The cockpit crew formulated a plan and briefed the flight attendants on the potential events that may unfold on arrival/landing and ask that they prepare themselves for each scenario, including an evacuate/evacuation. Our plan was to begin confign early to allow time for the possibility of manually extending the landing gear in the event the right hydraulic system remaining fluid/pressure failed. Coordination 1+30 out of iah was made with ATC for runway selection and possibility of stopping on runway to secure gear and doors. Coordination with maintenance was accomplished as well. The manual gear extension procedure was performed after initial effort failed due to right system malfunction. Checklists were accomplished, flight attendants informed that we would stop on runway for gear pin installation and an emergency was declared with iah approach control. Landing was uneventful and aircraft stopped on runway. I was talking with maintenance supervisor on ground to cockpit interphone when the flight attendant informed the first officer that smoke was filling the cabin. The decision was made to evacuate/evacuation the aircraft. The announcement was made to the passenger and the first officer completed the evacuate/evacuation checklist. Supplemental information from acn 613776: flight attendant called and said we had lots of smoke in cabin. Captain ordered evacuate/evacuation. Communication and briefing with all concerned ended with successful evolution with no injuries.
