Human Factors
C172 was established in the left hand traffic pattern [at] TRM; RWY (Runway) 35; performing touch and go training. Position reports were made in middle of left downwind and left base. CE560 entering a wide downwind circumnavigated [us] on its base leg. Upon noticing being circumnavigated; CE560 was inquired by [us] to confirm having the preceding traffic in sight. Visual contact was confirmed. Whilst established on a 2 mile final [we] were overtaken on the right side by CE560 having offset its final approach track to the right; subsequently cutting in front of [us]. Seconds later at a height of approximately 150 feet. [we] were caught in the jet's wake and a temporary low altitude loss of control was perceived (bank angles of 45 degrees were noticed without control authority in roll). A go-around was initiated and control over the aircraft regained. Subsequent calls addressed to CE560 to address the issue remained ignored.
C172 instructor pilot reported encountering wake turbulence on approach to TRM from a CE560 jet that resulted in a low altitude upset.
