Narrative:
Upon normal landing, turbulence caused the plane to bounce causing a propeller strike and other related damage. An air carrier medium large transport Y had just landed and ATC sequenced me right in. He was calling my base and final. There was another jet behind me, on final, runway 21L and I think ATC rushed me in. I misjudged his (medium large transport Y) touchdown point and got right into the turbulence.

Title: SMA SUFFERS PROPELLER STRIKE UPON ENCOUNTERING WAKE TURBULENCE AT DTW.
Narrative: UPON NORMAL LNDG, TURBULENCE CAUSED THE PLANE TO BOUNCE CAUSING A PROP STRIKE AND OTHER RELATED DAMAGE. AN ACR MLG Y HAD JUST LANDED AND ATC SEQUENCED ME RIGHT IN. HE WAS CALLING MY BASE AND FINAL. THERE WAS ANOTHER JET BEHIND ME, ON FINAL, RWY 21L AND I THINK ATC RUSHED ME IN. I MISJUDGED HIS (MLG Y) TOUCHDOWN POINT AND GOT RIGHT INTO THE TURBULENCE.
