Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

Needed to go-around at 100 ft. while trying to land on Runway 36R at CLT due to strong wake from departing aircraft Airbus A321. Air traffic controllers keep tight spacing. We were 3 miles final on approach and ATC cleared [the A321] for takeoff on same runway. Strong wake made it unstable at last moment so we conducted go around, came back and landed on same runway.
