New Jepp SID/STAR chart depiction - huge MSA circles

I wonder what brought this about…

Not to mention the strange “radials” which seem to be backwards

It is part of a range of changes introduced in 2016 to improve the charts. It is meant to make it easier to see critical info. The use of more colour is a part of it as well.

MSA bearings have always been to the facility on which the MSA is calculated.

I have found them very useful (although they took some time getting used to), especially as they often cover a wider area (to be printed on A4 paper) and show the departure and arrival routes to scale and make altitude constraints easier to read.

Which means the bearings will correspond to the track flown by an aircraft approaching the facility.

If we are being pedantic, bearings are always from. So those are tracks.
