The plane's navigator knows at once that he is somewhere on this line. Then he tunes in a second pair of master-and-slave stations operating on a different frequency, and gets a second line of position. His location on the chart is the point where the two lines intersect. A skilled operator can complete the whole problem in less than six minutes...
