Yes, if you let us know of a mountain pass that you think we should have but don't, we can add it.

Are these passes present on some other chart you're consulting?

Yes, for example on  the "Aeronautical Chart VISUAL 500" Austria/Österreich, published from DFS Germany.
I'm shure, they will hand hand off a list (high and coordinates) to you with the most important passes.

We will look into this.

I confirm we'll have lots of passes in Austria in our next update.

On the ICAO Aeronautical Charts 1:500000 or V500 Charts, mountian passes are shown with the symbol and height in ft.

There they are called "pass" or "mountain pass" in the legend, e.g. on maps of Germany or Austria.
I would expect to find them on all other ICAO maps as well.
Usually, but not always, the name is also given.

Since these passes are very important for flight planning and execution, could you please show them on the charts.
