General

• Cirro’s API allows you to pull all kinds of data for custom reports. THis recent update ensures that signature data is not exported with the CSV data.

Weight and Balance

• We added the ability to make external load max per weight a mandatory pass to continue filing an itinerary
• Removed amendment items were still appearing on the equipment lists. We’ve fixed this issue so that removed amendment items no longer appear else where

Maps and Charts

• The fuel planning tool was displaying the incorrect range on initial load. Rest assured, this has been fixed and displays as expected
• There was a pesky bug with the direct to tool in the maps and charts module that would bring up the airport information of the last selected airport and not the current airport being navigated to. It has been fixed, meaning no more unnecessary scrolling to get back on track

• Flight itinerary templates that have fuel plans will now automatically update the planned winds and temperatures along the route

Passenger Manifesting

General

• We have received some reports of issues with offline data syncing improperly once back in a connection. To help avoid any conflicts with offline data, a counter at the top of the home screen will display the number of offline items still waiting to be synced
• No one likes to lose information that then needs to be added once again. To avoid this we added a reminder to send offline data when attempting to logout with items waiting to be synced
• We added a low bandwidth option to the main dashboard that can be toggled to enhance performance when working with restricted internet access. Toggling the option on will disable certain Cirro functions that run in the background in order to improve performance
