Narrative:

My only concern at this point is having large or heavy jet aircraft ahead of me on same approach, ie, wake turbulence could be a factor since there is no GS information. Our aircraft type is jetstream. On the approach we broke out of the clouds at 1700 ft on the final segment. (MDA) was 1600 ft. We were well stabilized on the approach all the way to the airport. I felt no jeopardy in response to safety. My only concern, once again, being in a 19 seat jetstream is the possible hazards of wake turbulence.
