Got to the airfield this morning and the weather looked good, i was set to do a double lesson, so i did the checks and we got in the plane. Larry assisted me with the take off again we got some height and headed towards a large intersection on the ground where we continued to follow a road and then a railway track. Now i was told to circle around a large crop circle and keep my altitude at 6300ft and not to go 50ft higher or lower than that....problem was before we could get there i kept gaining altitude and couldnt get us to desend, the engine was at 2000rpm and we where still climimg(Larrys a/c needs a minimum of 4000rpm to maintain straight and level flight) so as you can see we had a problem. In the space of around 5 min the weather changed dramaticaly, it went from calm and smooth to violently turbulent.
Needless to say we got down on the ground as soon as possible cutting the lesson short, so i unfortunatly only got 0.7 hours logged this time round but i have another lesson tomorrow and i hope the weather will be better...
Lessons 1-11 completed and 3.2 hours logged
