Narrative:
During descent we experienced an a system hydraulic failure. We ran the appropriate checklists and landed uneventfully. After arriving at the gate during post flight; after rechecking the landing performance calculations; we determined we were slightly over our approach climb weight for a flaps 40 landing.
