What is the definition of a high-performance airplane?
A
An airplane with 180 horsepower, or retractable landing gear, flaps, and a fixed-pitch propeller.
B
An airplane with an engine of more than 200 horsepower.✓ Correct Answer
C
An airplane with a normal cruise speed in excess of 200 knots.
Explanation
14 CFR 61.31(f) and the definitions in 61.1 describe a high-performance airplane as one with an engine of more than 200 horsepower. Retractable gear, flaps and a controllable-pitch propeller define a complex airplane, and cruise speed is not part of either definition.
