Human Factors; Procedure
Over the numbers at approximately 250 feet; I noticed a [air taxi turbo prop] come out from under my nose. I then extended my touchdown point beyond the [other aircraft] to avoid wake turbulence. Our speeds were providing separation. Completed landing; exited at midpoint; and tried a radio call to the [aircraft]; no response. Called CTAF for a radio check for my radio...was working fine. Contributing Factors:1. Straight-in approach does not work safely at uncontrolled airports and is not approved.2. No radio contact with CTAF? Wrong frequency or whatever..Flying a pattern at an uncontrolled airport will allow all other Aircraft to see that someone is coming in Silent/off frequency or just not talking.
The pilot of a sailplane experienced a near-mid-air-collision with an air taxi's turbo prop aircraft while operating at a non-towered airport.
