Currently there is an issue in 1.15.0...main which causes a FW aircraft to veer off course during the final approach on landing. This could cause a personnel safety risk and should be noted.

This should be implemented for 1.15 if no backporting of the fix in #25600 is expected, and should be implemented in 1.16 docs until this is fixed (maybe in 1.16.1?)

@hamishwillee Daniel Agar pointed me your way in the community call. What is the possibility of putting this warning in on 1.15 and 1.16 (until it gets fixed in 1.16, at least)? I know it's uncommon to alter previous versions' docs but this is a safety of operations issue I think.

@msberk Thanks! Its reasonable to backport safety-critical things. I've subedited and created a linked issue for v1.16 - can you create a backport issue or provide a link to one. I also merged in a fix to 1.15.

Note though that CI deployment is "in flux". This PR will deploy, but we will need to check that v1.15 and v1.16 updates did actually render once the CIP is fixed. (i.e. there is no v1.16 published build just now - we're migrating to an AWS bucket to allow this)
