-"Glidepath" (one word) is the correct radio phraseology for the descent on an instrument landing system (ILS)
Flightpath or flight path is not a phrase I as a pilot (not instrument rated) recognise at all.
I have no idea if this helps you, or not?

Dictionary defines 'Glide Path' as "The prescribed descent of an aircraft coming in to land that is shown to the pilot by means of a radio beam and acts as an aid to navigation". Just want to put this in a pub quiz, a pilot acquaintance has suggested this could also be answered with 'Flight Path' even though that definition is obviously much more simple. Any thoughts so as not to confuse or create ambiguity??? Please remember, this is for non-aviators !!!! So can we keep tech talk to a minimum :) ?
Thanks
