Thanks Suzyquad, I've been looking for the elevations found on that topo sectional. According to the radar strike the aircraft was on a heading of 195 degree climbing through 5900 feet, BUT the Elevations around Lytton are 6550 & 6706 at about where that radar hit occurred and in the direction the aircraft was heading.

I think that may have some significance and probably should be checked out some more.

Confusing AGL with AMSL, or improperly calibration of the altimeter may result in what is referred to as “controlled flight into terrain”

At 5900' (1798 metres) AGL the object would have been followed by the radar (I suppose...) At 5900' ASL it is probably somewhere around EDIT: Oops... I go back to the blackboard: magnetic deviation (see Zach's post further)

RB had bought a new GPS? (Yes, I know. Sorry. It is just because I was about to make exactly the same error 10 minutes ago, so I cannot ignore this track...)
