## 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.
