C337 PLT FILES AND FLIES IFR WITHOUT REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION OF INST COMPETENCY AND ALSO MAKES A PWR OFF; GEAR UP LNDG DUE TO ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

Narrative

AS PIC AND SOLO; I FILED AN IFR FLT PLAN WITH THE ZZZ SVC STATION. MY LOGBOOK DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT DATA ENTERED TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE REGS TO PERMIT MY FILING AN IFR FLT PLAN. ON MY FINAL APCH AT ZZZ1; THE TWR CLRED ME TO LAND ON RWY 31C. I WAS REQUESTED TO KEEP MY SPD UP. INSIDE THE OM OF RWY 31C; I ATTEMPTED TO EXTEND MY LNDG GEAR AND FLAPS. I HEARD THE LNDG GEAR DOORS BEGIN TO OPEN. THE TWR NOTIFIED ME IMMEDIATELY OF THE FAILURE OF MY GEAR TO EXTEND. AFTER APPLYING PWR TO HOLD MY ALT; I RPTED TO THE TWR FAILURE OF THE GEAR TO RESPOND TO ALL EFFORTS. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO 'GO AROUND.' WHILE COMPLYING; DESPITE ALL EFFORTS; THE GEAR STILL FAILED TO EXTEND. WHILE I WAS ON DOWNWIND; THE TWR REQUESTED MY INTENTIONS. I INDICATED A NEED FOR IMMEDIATE RETURN TO ZZZ AND GEAR UP. THE TWR ASSIGNED A HDG AND ALT. STILL OVER ZZZ1; MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYS FAILED. WITH NO RADIOS AND NO ELECTRICAL PWR; THE POS OF THE FLAPS AND GEAR DOORS INDETERMINABLE; I FLEW THE ASSIGNED VECTORS IN VMC TO ZZZ2. CLBING TO 10500 FT ABOVE ZZZ2; I CIRCLED FOR OVER 2.5 HRS. I PURPOSELY EXHAUSTED MY FUEL. THIS WAS TO PREVENT A POTENTIAL FIRE FROM A MALFUNCTIONING ELECTRICAL SYS AND A POSSIBLE FUEL SPILL IN A CRASH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND. WITH BOTH ENGS NOT OPERATING; THE FRONT PROP FEATHERED; THE LNDG GEAR POS INDETERMINABLE; AND THE POS OF THE FLAPS UNKNOWN; I LANDED ON RWY 18. AFTER LNDG; THE FLAPS WERE FOUND TO BE 1/3 DOWN AND THE REAR GEAR DOORS OPEN AND THE GEAR PARTIALLY DOWN IN MID-TRAVEL DUE TO A 'STUCK SOLENOID.' THE DAMAGE TO THE ACFT WAS MINIMAL. I INTEND HEREWITH TO RECORD ALL SUPPORTING AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION IN MY LOGBOOK BEFORE FILING ANY IFR FLT PLAN. ALSO; I SHALL COMPLETE INST COMPETENCY CHK RIDES WHEN REQUIRED AND FULFILL APPLICABLE REGS BEFORE EACH FLT.
