On February 26, 2014, an Order Setting Rule 16 Litigation Scheduling Conference and 

Directing Rule 26(t) Planning and Submission was filed. Among other things, this Order set the · 

Rule 16 Litigation Scheduling Conference for Wednesday, April30, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern 

time. 

On April28, 2014, the FAA attorney telephoned the Office of Hearings attorney-staff 

and stated that the parties are engaged in settlement discussions that will likely conclude within 

the week, and would prefer to continue the Rule 16 Litigation Scheduling Conference until 

settlement discussions are complete. The FAA attorney was provided potential dates for 

continuing the Conference, and advised to submit the request in writing. 

Later that same day, April28, 2014, a Motion to Continue Rule 16 Conference was filed. 

The Motion states that the FAA believes "settlement is highly likely, and the continuation of the 

litigation scheduling conference would promote judicial economy by encouraging a settlement."

regulations, rules, and authority, and being fully advised; 

It Is Hereby Ordered: 

1. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 13.205(a)(1), the Rule 16 Litigation Scheduling Conference, set 

for April 30, 2014, at 11 :00 a.m. Eastern time is continued to allow for further settlement
