Narrative:
After a full week of flying and a 14 hour duty day; I was coming in for landing into slc. I had been told to expect runway 16L while I was on the left downwind over redwood road. Just past midfield; I was given a runway change to runway 17 following an airbus 319 and cleared to land behind traffic. As I became busy setting up the aircraft for landing and running through checklists; I began turning onto base. I intercepted the glide path as I turned onto final. As I continued down the glide path; I began to feel some light turbulence around 500 ft. AGL. I then began to suspect that I might be in the glide path of the A319 that had landed before me. The turbulence became a little stronger and I felt uncomfortable with the approach. I decided the best course of action was a go around and another attempted at the landing. I commenced the go around and returned for another approach. The second attempt was uneventful.
