The present application relates to a method of measuring a height of a fuel in an aircraft fuel tank (21). The method includes illuminating the fuel in the aircraft fuel tank and detecting reflected light from the fuel. Optical coherence tomography is used to determine the height of a surface of fuel in the fuel tank. The present application also relates to apparatus (30) for measuring a height of a surface of fuel in an aircraft fuel tank, and an aircraft fuel tank system with a fuel tank and an apparatus for measuring a height of a surface of fuel in the aircraft fuel tank.
