Narrative:
Briefing student pilot on depressurization routes in south america; they brought an issue to my attention. The south america section of the flight manual still has old depressurization escape route pages. There are two concerns with these charts:1. These pages should be copied into the skbo (bogota) jeppesen pages for quick reference for arrival and departure flights in and out of skbo.2. There are 3 pages that describe the procedures in a different format that the other traditional escape route map formatted pages with text and map all on one page. Having to flip back and forth between a map and text page is unnecessary and burdensome; especially with an emergency requiring an escape route. These could be combined onto one single page that is formatted like all the other south america and greenland terrain depressurization escape route pages.bogota is challenging enough. Making the critical information easier to read and more accessible is essential to a safer operation.
