Does anyone know the exact definition of "high-Performance Aircraft"?
I once knew this when I was young and keen, but can't recall it now, and "google" searches as well as tc.gc.ca have resulted in goose-eggs.
Much appreciated.

that and it as to be approuved single pilot. Witch makes it a military aircraft unless I am mistaken.

Errmmm, I don't think it has to be approved single pilot. Rather, any aircraft with a Vs greater than 80 kts and/or a Vne of greater than 250 kts is regarded as a high performance aircraft.

SEL High Performance a/c have a MFC of one according to that well known expert Culhane.
However if you read CARS 421.40 it implies single pilot but doesn't actually state it.
