Narrative

20-40 MINS AFTER TKOF; CLBING TO 16500 FT; HYD SENSORS FLICKERED; THEN HYD PUMP LIGHT CAME ON. READ MANUAL; COMPLETED TEST; DETERMINED TO PROCEED. GEAR WAS UP AND WE HAVE A BLOW DOWN BACKUP SYS. CLBED TO FLY OVER A CLOUD BANK; AND ALTIMETER WENT OUT. WENT TO BACKUP. AUTOPLT GOES OUT; FLEW BY HAND; 1 RADIO WENT OUT. WE HAD BACKUP. HAVING JUST TAKEN RECURRENCY; I WAS PREPARED FOR EVENTS BUT REALIZED THAT I WANTED TO STAY SAFE; BUT HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING HAPPEN THIS WAY. COCKPIT JUDGEMENT IS VERY KEY. DECIDED TO CONTINUE; LITTLE OFF COURSE; ALSO FELT KNOWING MY ARPT AREA I COULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE. AT XA30; CONTACTED ATL APCH FOR APPROVAL TO LAND PDK (DEKALB-PEACHTREE ARPT). TWR WAS CLOSED. CLRED TO LAND. GEAR CAME DOWN; GOT 3 GREEN; HAD A GREAT LNDG. NOTE: HYD LEVEL REALLY LOW; NO LEAKS; IN SHOP FOR REPAIRS. LESSONS LEARNED: DON'T RUSH TO DUMP OUT OF THE SKY; COCKPIT MGMNT CRITICAL. SHOULD HAVE FILED WITH ATC; EVEN IF IT WAS VFR. PLTS OF SMALL ACFT; AND SMALL BUSINESS; WE PLTS HAVE A FEAR OF FAA AND THEIR PWR.
