What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On approach, an extension of the flaps was initiated with no result (zero degrees) in flap travel. Suspecting a problem with the hydraulic system, the pilot privacy data omitted attempted to extend the main landing gear, which resulted in no action, thus confirming a hydraulic system faillure. The pilot then activated the compressed CO2 emergency gear extension system. The result of this procedure was a complete, and indicated, extension of both the nose and l/h main landing gear assemblies, with a partial, non-indicated, extension of the r/h main landing gear. During a fly-by it was witnessed by ground personnel that the r/h gear doors were opened and the gear assembly was still in the gear well. Upon final approach the engines were shut down, and propellers fully feathered. The pilot landed the aircraft on the nose and l/h main landing gear, until the airspeed bled off resulting in the aircraft step and r/h wing tip striking the runway. This caused the aircraft to make an uncontrollable right hand turn, entering the grass, striking a runway recong light, rotating 120 degrees and coming to rest approximately 150 feet from the right hand edge of the runway. No injuries were sustained.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) ON APPROACH, AN EXTENSION OF THE FLAPS WAS INITIATED WITH NO RESULT (ZERO DEGREES) IN FLAP TRAVEL. SUSPECTING A PROBLEM WITH THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ATTEMPTED TO EXTEND THE MAIN LANDING GEAR, WHICH RESULTED IN NO ACTION, THUS CONFIRMING A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FAILLURE. THE PILOT THEN ACTIVATED THE COMPRESSED CO2 EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION SYSTEM. THE RESULT OF THIS PROCEDURE WAS A COMPLETE, AND INDICATED, EXTENSION OF BOTH THE NOSE AND L/H MAIN LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLIES, WITH A PARTIAL, NON-INDICATED, EXTENSION OF THE R/H MAIN LANDING GEAR. DURING A FLY-BY IT WAS WITNESSED BY GROUND PERSONNEL THAT THE R/H GEAR DOORS WERE OPENED AND THE GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS STILL IN THE GEAR WELL. UPON FINAL APPROACH THE ENGINES WERE SHUT DOWN, AND PROPELLERS FULLY FEATHERED. THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT ON THE NOSE AND L/H MAIN LANDING GEAR, UNTIL THE AIRSPEED BLED OFF RESULTING IN THE AIRCRAFT STEP AND R/H WING TIP STRIKING THE RUNWAY. THIS CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO MAKE AN UNCONTROLLABLE RIGHT HAND TURN, ENTERING THE GRASS, STRIKING A RUNWAY RECONG LIGHT, ROTATING 120 DEGREES AND COMING TO REST APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET FROM THE RIGHT HAND EDGE OF THE RUNWAY. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED.
