Alan,
I don't think anything on that form applies to aircraft. It actually says
"This form does not apply to aircraft engines" at the end of the first
paragraph. However, there isn't a clue as to what form might apply to
aircraft, or indeed that any form is needed for spark-ignition aircraft
engines. The EPA section relating to aircraft clearly refers to turbine
engines.
I'm glad you've owned your aircraft for over one year, so that you won't
have to pay import duty as a part-time resident of the US.
Good luck with your further research!
Mike

There are lots of choices, other ones that are not marine or atv related
include "non-road spark ignition engine above 19kW( or above 30kWif
displacement is at or below 1000cc) see 40CFR parts 1048 and 1068." I think
that is closest.
Other choices are including national security...manufacturer
owned...replacement engine,...extraordinary hardship...identical
configuration,...ancient engine ( I think this one will be by the time we
get it through customs!) Then there are temporary exemptions which I have
ignored and engines excluded from US EPA standards.
Today I think I will call EAA or AOPA ( lockwood aviation are closed) and
see if they have any ideas.
Regards
ALan

Alan - compression-ignition is another way of saying diesel, so that
does not fit with a Rotax, which is spark-ignition. Aren't there any
other choices?
regards
