(-23) PILOT REPORTED THAT THE LANDING GEAR FAILURE WAS A RESULT OF AN AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. HE COMMENTED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED SIMULTANEOUS TO HIM EXTENDING THE LANDING GEAR, KEYING THE AIRCRAFT'S COMMUNICATION TRANSMITTER, AND PERFORMING A BASE TURN FOR FINAL APPROACH. HE COMMENTED THAT BEFORE LANDING HE THOUGHT THAT HE HAD PROPERLY ACTUATED THE EMERGENCY GEAR SYSTEM I.A.W. THE AIRCRAFT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED GEAR UP SUSTAINING MINOR DAMAGE.
