JohnD,

 

Your Engine Manufacturer is listed as “Mazda”, your Engine Model is listed as “13B”.

 

But your Type Engine is listed as “reciprocating”.

 

I wonder why this question has never come up before??

I just checked several other FAA records for known rotary engines.  They were all registered as “reciprocating” as well.

I now know what to do!

 

Back and forth and round and round mean the same thing in governmentspeak!

Actually looks like I was forced to chose reciprocating:

I made application the other day to register my plane with the FAA.  I just got back today in the mail a request to clarify the type of engine on the Affidavit of Ownership.  “The type shall be either reciprocating, turbopropeller, etc.”

“The type ‘wankel’ is unknown and is unacceptable.”

 

Since the engine is none of the above, what did you guys use when you registered your planes???   I am at a loss as to what would be the correct type???
