when things go wrong solo!!!!

Hello all,

I have just hit a block.

Last week while doing my second solo circuit i found myself experiencing problems on final.

whilst at about 600ft i hit quite a bit of turbulance which caught me by surprise, i immediatly corrected for that and got centralised again however i did find it hard to maintain speed and height after this.

It didnt warrant a go around as i had the plane back under control and stable on the approach but after landing i felt shaken up by what had just happened.

I obviously feel good about the fact that my instructer has taught me how to overcome such problems but my question is have you ever experienced problems whilst solo and did it make you question wheather flying is right for you.

i felt for some time after that maybe i wasnt suited to flying but i love it too much to stop.
