This Day in FAA History: July 14th

Full FAA Chronology at this link.
19380714: With a crew of four, Howard Hughes flew a Lockheed L-14 around the world from Floyd Bennett Field, N.Y., and back with stops at Paris, Moscow, Omsk, Yakutsk, Fairbanks, and Minneapolis. This celebrated flight of 14,824 miles took 3 days 19 hours, about half the time achieved by Wiley Post over a similar course in 1934 (see entry for June 23-July 1, 1931).
20000714: Department of Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater and FAA Administrator Jane Garvey marked the completion of the effort to modernize the nation’s air traffic control system by dedicating the 20th and final installation of new DSR hardware and supporting computers. The last system in the $1.05 billion FAA program to replace older computers and displays was dedicated at the Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center in Leesburg, Virginia. (See January 20, 1999.)
20000714: FAA announced an agreement among the airlines, airline pilot groups, and others in the aviation industry to continue land and hold short operations (LAHSO). As a result, FAA said it would issue an order implementing changes to LAHSO. The order, which went into effect August 14, permitted expanded use of the procedure. LAHSO, an aviation procedure used since 1968, increased capacity at airports with intersecting runways by allowing aircraft to land and stop on long runways before an intersection with another runway. Stopping short allowed the air traffic controller to have another aircraft take off or land on the intersecting runway. LAHSO had been refined through years of operational experience and cooperation among FAA, airlines, pilots and controllers. (See February 19, 1999.)
20140714: NASA transferred to FAA a new NextGen software technology, called terminal sequence and spacing, that allows air traffic controllers to maximize the benefits of performance based navigation (PBN) procedures on the approach to the runway. With the new technology, controllers see circles – called slot markers – on their display screens that indicate where an aircraft should be to fly a RNAV or required navigation performance route. The software enabled the use of PBN procedures to become more routine, requiring less vectoring, fewer level-offs of aircraft, and less communication between controllers and pilots. FAA, which received an initial technology transfer of the terminal sequence and spacing from NASA in September 2013, planned to make a full investment decision by the end of the year.
20150714: The United States and Ukraine signed an open skies agreement. (See July 8, 2013.)
20160714: FAA and NATCA signed a new six-year collective bargaining agreement. The new agreement went into effect on July 24. (See March 14, 2012.)
20210714: Secretary Buttigieg announced the appointment and reappointment of four members of the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee (ACPAC). Attorney General Maura Healy served as the new chairperson. He also announced the creation of the new Anti-Discrimination Subcommittee of the ACPAC, dedicated to ensuring the fair treatment of airline passengers. The subcommittee reviewed airline policies, procedures, and practices to prevent discrimination.
