The article mentions it was for specific parts that are commercially available. The headline makes it sound like a whole plane's schematics were leaked.

The headline is editorialized, and very inaccurately at that.

Honeywell reported their violation to the government. It is in the governments best interest to not overly punish them as it could lead to companies being incentivized to hide violations instead of reporting them as soon as they become aware of them. Although I do think $13 million is a bit low even when accounting for this.

My understanding is that the drawings were very high-level illustrations, not technical schematics.

It sounds like it may have been a little more specific.

No, because of the new rule. If you voluntarily disclose your crimes, (or better yet brag about them on social media), it's not a crime anymore.
