NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

On October 15, 2014, at 1522 mountain daylight time, a Raytheon Hawker 800XP airplane, N694ES, experienced a hydraulic malfunction and landed gear up at the Denver International Airport (KDEN), Denver, Colorado. The pilots and crew were not injured and the airplane received minor damage. The airplane was registered to GLO LLC and operated by Mayo Aviation under the provisions of 14 Coded of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a positioning flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which operated on an instrument flight rules flight plan. The flight originated from the Centennial Airport (KAPA), Englewood, Colorado, and was en route to the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (KLBE), Latrobe, Pennsylvania. According to information provided by the company, during the rotation for takeoff, the pilot felt and heard a vibration from the airframe. They continued the takeoff and retracted the landing gear. Personnel in KAPA's tower, radioed the pilot that they momentarily observed white smoke come from the airplane. A short time later, the airplane's hydraulic low pressure lights illuminated. The crew returned to KAPA and could not lower the landing gear. They attempted to lower the gear through the alternate gear extension procedures, but the gear would not lower. Due to the hydraulic system malfunction, the airplane was landed with the flaps and gear retracted at KDEN. Portions of the airplane's tire were found on the runway at KAPA. The airplane was retained for further examination.
