Guide for ships entering or leaving a harbour (5)

I believe the answer is:

pilot

(Other definitions for pilot that I've seen before include "Navigator" , "Aircraft captain" , "One who brings a vessel into port" , "Lead" , "Person in charge of aircraft" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
