A glide path indicator 2 comprises 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 is 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 such as 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 vehicles motion on the glide path 14 and the field of view of the camera 22.
