Narrative:
At the completion of a flight from spokane washington to slc, ut, we were involved in a landing incident. We were told to cross slc from west to east at 6000 ft MSL midfield and to enter left downwind to runway 17L. Once downwind I selected the gear down and immediately received a call to 'turn base now, jet traffic on 2 mi final.' we were high and fast and the added pressure of the jet may have caused oversight to verify a down and locked position on the gear. The nose gear had come down and locked and in the flare I discovered the mains were not in place. I attempted a go around but the resultant p-factor and slow airspeed caused us to leave the runway. I pulled the mixture and we came to rest in the grass right of the runway. Minor damage to the stabilizer -- no injuries.

Narrative: AT THE COMPLETION OF A FLT FROM SPOKANE WASHINGTON TO SLC, UT, WE WERE INVOLVED IN A LNDG INCIDENT. WE WERE TOLD TO CROSS SLC FROM W TO E AT 6000 FT MSL MIDFIELD AND TO ENTER L DOWNWIND TO RWY 17L. ONCE DOWNWIND I SELECTED THE GEAR DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED A CALL TO 'TURN BASE NOW, JET TFC ON 2 MI FINAL.' WE WERE HIGH AND FAST AND THE ADDED PRESSURE OF THE JET MAY HAVE CAUSED OVERSIGHT TO VERIFY A DOWN AND LOCKED POS ON THE GEAR. THE NOSE GEAR HAD COME DOWN AND LOCKED AND IN THE FLARE I DISCOVERED THE MAINS WERE NOT IN PLACE. I ATTEMPTED A GAR BUT THE RESULTANT P-FACTOR AND SLOW AIRSPD CAUSED US TO LEAVE THE RWY. I PULLED THE MIXTURE AND WE CAME TO REST IN THE GRASS R OF THE RWY. MINOR DAMAGE TO THE STABILIZER -- NO INJURIES.
