I was burning it up in a Puma over a Norwegian fiord with the radalt set at a safe 30 ft. when a sudden movement caught my eye. It was the radalt needle going to full sweep at about 1,000 ft..

It had pinged through the water and was registering the bottom of the lake.

Inertial navigation systems used to loose track over calm water too.
