A great days flying...

Had an excellent days flying this morning, i was at the airfield nice and early and it was overcast and drizzeling but it stopped shortly after arriving and became the perfect day to fly. We started off with some circling of crop circles again but a few minutes later it got really exciting as we headed out to a crop field that Larry knew had no obsticles to fly into and we did some really low level flying !

Just a few meters off of the ground we sped down the rows of mielies, i was told to choose one furrow and try to follow it. For this you keep the power constant and use slight movements of the bar forward and backwards to rise and fall. We did this for a while and then headed back to the field. We did a simulated dead stick landing and took a short brake.

Again i did the take off mostly unassisted, we got in the air and joined the left hand down wind curcit, we did some more low level flying over the runway and we finished off with a last dead stick landing and that was that for today.

So far i have 5.4 hours logged and lessons 1-11,13 and 19 completed. There again tomorrow hopefully will add another 2 hours.
