PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated proceedings, Kent J. Ashton filed two

petitions for review of final agency decisions issued by the Asso-

ciate Administrator for Airports for the Federal Aviation Admin-

istration.    We have reviewed Ashton’s arguments, the record, and

the orders issued by the Director, Office of Airport Safety and

Standards, and the Associate Administrator and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we deny the petitions for review.   We deny

motions to strike informal briefs and grant Ashton’s motion to file

a corrected informal brief. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
