During the approach, if the windshield mark stays on the aiming point, what does it indicate?

When the windshield mark remains aligned with the aiming point during an approach, it indicates that you are on the proper glide path. The glide path is the optimal descent angle that leads the aircraft to touch down at the correct location on the runway, specifically at the aiming point marked on the runway. Maintaining this alignment suggests that your rate of descent and approach speed are appropriate, ensuring a stable approach that will result in a smooth landing.

If the windshield mark were to drift away from the aiming point, it would suggest issues with the approach, such as climbing too steeply, which would lead to a higher than desired altitude, or possibly drifting off course, indicating a lateral deviation from the intended flight path. Additionally, if an increase in speed were necessary, the alignment with the aiming point would not be maintained, resulting in a different visual reference during the approach. Thus, the correct alignment directly signifies that you are successfully following the glide path to the runway.
