This Day in FAA History: September 22nd

Full FAA Chronology at this link.
19670922: North American Rockwell Corporation came into being, result of a merger between North American Aviation and Rockwell-Standard Corporation.
19830922: FAA announced the award of two competitive contracts for design of a new mainframe computers to replace the IBM 9020 computers at Air Route Traffic Control Towers as part of the agency’s Advanced Automation Program. (See January 28, 1982 and July 26, 1985.)
19880922: FAA issued a rule requiring that all turbine-powered airliners seating 30 passengers or more carry equipment to warn pilots when they encounter low-altitude wind shear and provide them with information needed to escape safely (see October 9, 1986). The rule also mandated wind shear training for flight crewmembers. FAA allowed until January 2, 1991, to complete the training requirements and permitted the airlines to phase in the equipment in accordance with an approved schedule by January 4, 1993. On April 9, 1990, the agency published rule extending this deadline to December 30, 1993, making certain exemptions for older aircraft, and allowing the substitution of more advanced “predictive” warning systems when available.
19940922: In response to a series of accidents, FAA issued a special rule tightening safety requirments for air tour operators in the state of Hawaii.
19970922: Bombardier Aerospace announced that FAA had granted final certification of Learjet’s pioneering Model 45, the world’s first business jet designed and manufactured entirely by computer. The aircraft was Learjet’s first all-new jet in 30 years and its third aircraft to be certified since the company was acquired by Bombardier Inc., in 1990.
20000922: FAA announced that April 1, 2001, would be the earliest start date for new $4.00 and $4.50 passenger facility charge (PFC) levels. The April 1 date, however, did not preclude airports from immediately submitting PFC applications. The new PFC levels were authorized under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century. Previously, the highest PFC was $3.00.
20100922: FAA announced a new safety program that, for the first time, would integrate voluntary safety information self-reported by pilots and air traffic controllers into the Aviation Safety Action Program and the Air Traffic Safety Action Program. This data-sharing program would give the FAA a more complete picture of the national airspace system by collecting, assessing, and reviewing safety events from the perspective of both pilots and air traffic controllers. United Airlines and its pilots became the first to participate in the demonstration program. The FAA expected to sign similar agreements with other carriers. (March 31, 2008; January 30, 2009.)
20220922: The Securities and Exchange Commission said that Boeing will pay $200 million to settle charges that the company and its former CEO misled investors about the safety of its 737 Max after two of the airliners crashed, killing 346 people. It charged the aircraft maker and former CEO Dennis Muilenburg with making significant misleading public statements about the plane and an automated flight-control system that was implicated in the crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. Neither Boeing nor Muilenburg admitted wrongdoing, but they offered to settle and pay penalties, including $1 million to be paid by Muilenburg. (See March 23, 2022; January 5, 2023.)
