Analysis
After a touch-&-go landing, the flt crew noted a problem with the landing gear. A check of the hydraulic sys revealed a lack of fluid in the reservoir; the plts were unable to either retract or extend the gear. Subsequently, they landed the acft with the nose & rgt main gear extended & the left main gear in a trail position. The left wing tip, left main gear door & left stabilizer were damaged during the landing. An exam of the hydraulic sys revealed that a hose to the right main gear door actuator was leaking & had permitted depletion of the hydraulic fluid. The hose was deteriorated from age.
