Narrative:
In cruise, we had a green hydraulic system hydraulic low level ECAM. We checked the hydraulic page and confirmed quantity at zero. We followed the ECAM and shut off the green hydraulic pump, and the ptu. After talking with dispatch and maintenance, we decided to continue on. We performed the increased runway distance calculation and reviewed all checklists. We extended the gear with the gravity extension checklist. We landed on runway 25R uneventfully and were met with the lax fire trucks. The aircraft was inspected and no problems were found. We were towed to the gate. There were no passenger problems.
