Analysis

While attempting to land on a parallel runway, the aircraft encountered wake turbulence from a landing transport aircraft. The aircraft rolled and struck the ground hard. A successful go around was then made with an uneventful landing. The pilot was aware of the other aircraft's position. The wind favored the wake turbulences drift towards this aircraft's runway.
