*1 .- FlashPass no longer will store the database on a central place. If you are upgrading from an older version, it will move your database file to your documents folder automatically and it will open it for you every time you open FlashPass, if you like the old model, this process should be transparent to you.

*2.- For persons upgrading from our beta phase, there was a possibility where it was possible to enter dashes in the N number field for the aircraft. If this is the case, we no longer allow this character to go to your manifests.

*3.- Try the new pushbutton  on the right of the airport field in the manifest window. This should make easier to identify which airports are authorized for departure or arrival according to CBP. NOTE: This does not means that you can land in the USA on any airport authorized. It has to be a port of entry and you need to check with customs if its authorized for landing. Not all departure airports are arrivals!. You can depart any airport from the US, authorized or not, you just have to specify the closest authorized airport in the airport field and use the (departure place description) field to specify the actual airport you are departing from. Please consult CBP rules for more information.
