Disclosed is a glide path indicator (2) comprising a light emitter (20) configured to emit a visible light signal that defines a glide path (14) for use by a pilot of an approaching aircraft (10), and a camera (22) configured to capture images of the approaching aircraft (10), the camera (22) being arranged such that at least part of the glide path (14) defined by the light emitter (20) is located within a field of view of the camera (22). The glide path indicator (2) may be mounted to a vehicle (4), for example, an aircraft carrier. The glide path indicator (2) may further comprise a stabilisation module (26) configured to stabilise the light emitter (20) and the camera (22) so as to reduce or eliminate the effects of the vehicle's motion on the glide path (14) and the field of view of the camera (22).
