Narrative:The pilot reported that, while on short final following a jet airplane, the airplane “encountered turbulence that induced significant rolling.” He added that the airplane “was not able to completely re-establish a stabilized approach prior to touching down.” Subsequently, the airplane touched down “more firm than usual.” The pilot taxied the airplane to the ramp without further incident.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s unstabilized approach after encountering wake turbulence, which resulted in a hard landing.
