Beautiful & Sleek Looking aircraft. My feedback as an A&P / Mechanical Engineer: ***Refueling panel, at the base of LH wing, is in a very wrong location.*** It should have been at a better location, likely inboard of brace on RH wing. Dis-Advantages of this current refueling panel location: **1) Clutter at LH wing:** LH side is already cluttered with many personnel during a short stop (like Baggage Handlers, Concierge & pilot) getting plane ready for the next hop. So fuel guy should be on the other side. **2) Vehicular Clearance:** Refueling trucks in US & many other nations are LH steering wheeled. Thus driver has better clearance sense driving a radiational Refueling truck approaching LH wing. **3) Ergonomics:** Not ergonomic for a single person holding a heavy pressurized refueling hose reaching current refueling location while standing at LH wheel pant. A single mishap can easily damage the window, spill on beautiful paint job, or give a bad back injury to refueler. If I ever own a Kodiak 900, I will do this modification myself. Just looking out for general public, if responsible at MFG wants this comment removed, LMK.
Greetings, very good plane, I think that in a future update, this should be included. FADEC Controler, Autoland, Retractable nose gear, wingles on the main wing, Radar Dome embedded in the wing, very similar to the TBM 960.
So I know you guys went through a lot of R&D, time, and effort into designing the wheel skirts. Is there an option or plan to allow for oversized tires for bush flying? Or are they extremely integrated into the structure of the aircraft?
Quest is undoubtedly largely responsible for the foundation for this great project but under Daher's command the Kodyak 900 is the clear transition from "savoir faire" to "savoir vivre"! Greetings from Brazil.
I love the TBM, and the thought that Daher is now holding the reins excites me. I'm in the market for a new single engine and the new Kodiak has made the choice even harder. The TBM 950 vs the Kodiak 900 is two different mission types I know, but either would work for me. Damm you Daher, I thought I had made up my mind:-)
Aeronave simplesmente espetacular .Reúne todas as qualidades necessárias para uso em pistas de fazendas : Pousa e decola curto , além de carregar um peso considerável. Houvi dizer que ele tem uma resultante de 175 nós,o que é muito bom para uma aeronave com trem de pouso fixo. Estou houvindo os comentários em inglês, porém gostaria de houvir em português,uma vez que eu não falo inglês.Outra coisa que gostaria de saber: Potência da turbina e consumo horario
Ima buy one of these and spy on my stupid neighbors that live in back of me and never mow their yard. They are growing weed, just not the kind you smoke. :(
As a 767 captain I can’t help but notice some things. You missed some of the radio responses on clearance and departure. Always write down your clearance on paper. Also, your eyes were in the cockpit for most of the trip. Don’t forget to look outside on vfr flights. Otherwise nice work.
Hello. Where would the optional Garmin GWX 75 flat-plate radar element be mounted on the airplane, please? Not in the nose, so inside the optional cargo pod, maybe? Thank you.
Apologies for being a lowly single owner/pilot of a 2016 Cessna 510 but that isn't exciting at all. I have also owned a Grand Caravan and it was competent in most conditions however when there's a decent headwind or a cell that needs avoiding? Nothing beats a twin VLJ that is up at FL410 just 25 minutes from leaving the runway.
