   MEMORANDUM

David G. Riggs petitions pro se for review of a final order of the National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”) revoking his pilot certificate. We have jurisdiction under 49 U.S.C § 1153(a). We must uphold the NTSB’s decision unless it is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or not otherwise in accordance with the law. Kolek v. Engen, 869 F.2d 1281, 1285 (9th Cir.1989). We deny the petition for review.

The NTSB did not abuse its discretion when it determined that the severity of Riggs’s violations warranted revocation of his pilot’s certificate. See id. at 1285-86 (finding no abuse of discretion in the NTSB’s revocation of a pilot’s certificate where that pilot’s infractions were more severe than others who had received suspensions); see also Administrator v. Oliveira and Morais, NTSB Order No. EA-4995 (Sept. 17, 2002).

Riggs’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
