A landing strobe is provided having an optical emitter configured to emit an optical signal. An input device can be coupled to the optical emitter for setting the optical signal to a signature strobe output unique to the landing strobe. A landing zone designation system is also provided having a landing strobe configured to emit a signature strobe output unique to the landing strobe. An aircraft spaced from the landing strobe can include a detector for optically receiving the signature strobe output to determine the landing zone is proper to land the aircraft if the signature strobe output matches an expected signature strobe output.
