The geometry is not fixed, it varies with altitude and aircraft CAT...



CAT A and CAT B are close, so they can have one circling MDA, while CAT C is much larger, and CAT D even larger differences in radii....

edit:
Here is the proposed change to the charts on the CAT Radius.




RNP charts dont have to deal with this!
