For example, one author has described improved accuracy for curved approaches under WAAS guidance. (Presumably autopiloted flight) I thought perhaps aircraft performance or weather factors might affect approach accuracy for such approaches. If an autopilot flight plan intends for an aircraft to be at a certain waypoint during flight, it was thought that aircraft performance or weather may play a role regarding waypoint accuracy.
