Jeppesen Charts
I have researched the Jeppesen portal and cannot find an answer.Can anyone explain why on some Jeppesen Approach charts the MSA (Minimum Sector Altitude) part is coloured RED? Until yesterday I have never seen this before.Why is this and what does the colour imply, and can you point me to a reference or is it perhaps just an individual companys preference maybe? Thanks Peter.

Seems that the "airline series" of charts has the MSA in brown for higher visibility/quicker distinguishing.

The MSA used to be considered for use in emergencies only. This is no longer the case, and is now based on a significant point, not necessarily a radio navigation facility. If it is based on a radio navigation aid, reception is not necessarily guaranteed to 25NM.
One wonders if the PRA VOR/DME would be received to the N & NE since there is already an issue with SLL reception in that area.

On my jeppesen enroute chart I found two airports but they are marked different ways. I mean usually we see the airport marked with light blue circle which has 6 squares around it. But there is a problem: the Naxos LGNX airport is just a circle but the Syros LGSO has a point in this circle. So what the difference between those two airports?
