Interesting last landing this evening. I was originally going to go up with my instructor for a bit, then drop him off and go back up by myself, but that didn't work out due to time, so he was with me for the entire flight. I was landing behind a Citation (I think - but a jet of that size) and was warned of wake turbulence by ATC. Usually not really a problem... About a 40' off the runway and the plane pivots to the left at a steep angle! Damn! Hit the wake turbulence from the jet! Corrected and landed without further incident. Scary, but a good experience.

EDIT: We were well under 100'..
