Just about the most accurate track an aircraft will fly will be when it is on the ILS approaching the runway. The ILS systems at Heathrow are extremely accurate and having worked with them for so long I know that to be the case. The majority of aircraft arriving at Heathrow will be on autopilot on the approach and some will carry out fully automatic landings. Such operations are conducted with extreme accuracy.
