DURING TAKEOFF, THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WAS LOST AFTER THE GEAR WAS RAISED AND THE FLAPS WERE BEING RETRACTED. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO EXTEND THE GEAR WITH BOTH THE NORMAL AND MANUAL SYSTEMS, BUT TO NO AVAIL. SUBSEQUENTLY, A GEAR UP LANDING WAS MADE. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT A HYDRAULIC LINE, PN 57-27100, HAD FAILED.
