Bonanzas have electrically controlled flaps and gear. Therefore a failure of the electrical system will take out these two systems as well. Perhaps this Piper has the same setup.
However, in the case of the the Bonanza there is a manual gear extend handle for just such on occasion, but the handle requires about 60 turns and is located in an awkward spot behind the front passenger seat on the floor. Definitely something to be done at a slower speed and hopefully with another person onboard to use as the gear-extend motor.
