Narrative:
On departure we got a hydraulic quantity low crew alert system (cas). There were no other indications of a problem and the weather was good so I elected to continue to our destination. When on a visual approach the flaps would not come down and [we] got hydraulic main low. I called for the gear down which was slow; but came down. At that point I thought the best action was to [divert to another airport] for a longer runway. I landed the aircraft with normal braking and had no problems taxiing to the ramp.we got a white cas but didn't think it was a problem until we had trouble getting the landing gear down.we went to an airport with a longer runway in case we did not have hydraulics for brakes.
