So the maximum distance you can pass abeam of a fix and auto sequence to the next fix in the flight plan doesn't change according to the sensitivity mode then? Could you please verify that aterpster?
It is all a matter of the course, not the width of the sensivity of the CDI (or such). In the case of RNP AR where TF to TF course changes are used, the designers must use expansion areas to account for TF to TF flyby, and often impose a speed limit. This is why RF legs are much preferred for RNP AR.
