  23-01: Promote conservative go/no-go decision making (includes performance planning)

     -HAI’s Safety Working Group released some early “primer” material on the topic that they’ve socialized through Rotor Daily, and they are working on a formalized work plan for where they’d like to go with it over the next year.

23-04: Improve fatigue awareness and risk mitigation of scheduling factors leading to fatigue.

     -Pulsar Informatics, Inc is leading this effort with support from AMOA and Delta P. They’ve developed an initial work plan.
