MEANING OF “SHALL”, “WILL”, “SHOULD”, AND “MAY”


The words “shall” and “will” are used to denote a mandatory requirement.
The word “should” denotes something that is recommended but
not mandatory. The word “may” is permissive in nature and suggests
something which is optional.

MEANING OF “LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE” OR “PRACTICABLE”


The use of these two terms relates to the urgency of the situation. When it
is suggested to land as soon as possible, this means to land at the nearest
suitable airfield after considering weather conditions, ambient lighting,
approach facilities, and landing requirements. When it is suggested to
land as soon as practicable, this means that the flight may be continued
to an airport with superior facilities, including maintenance support, and
weather conditions.

NOTE (1): The minimum oil pressure is 85 PSI, at gas generator speeds above 72%, with the oil temperature between
60°C and 70°C. Oil pressures below 85 psi are considered critical and should only be tolerated for the minimum
amount of time to complete the flight, while operating under a reduced power setting. Oil pressure indications below
85 psi should be reported as a discrepancy and corrected prior to the next flight. Oil pressure indications below 40 PSI
are unsafe and require an engine shutdown or a landing to be made as soon as possible, using the minimum power
required to sustain flight.
NOTE (2): For increased oil service life, an oil temperature between 74°C and 80°C is recommended. A minimum oil
temperature of 55°C is required for proper operation of the fuel heater, prior to attaining takeoff power.
NOTE (3): Propeller RPM must be set at or below 2000 RPM when achieving this maximum torque value. Max Torque
for Takeoff is limited to 5 minutes.
NOTE (4): These values are time limited to two (2) seconds.
NOTE (5): Increase Ng to keep within this limit.
NOTE (6): Reverse thrust operation is limited to one (1) minute.
NOTE (7): This value is limited to twenty (20) seconds.
NOTE (8): The maximum shaft horsepower for takeoff/max continuous is 750. The maximum shaft horsepower for
climb and cruise is limited to 700. The engine may not produce these maximum ratings under certain temperature and
altitude combinations (as reflected in the Takeoff, Climb and Cruise Performance charts).
NOTE (9): In the event of failure of the main propeller governor, causing an overspeed condition, it is permissible to
complete a flight with the propeller controlled via the overspeed governor, provided this limit is not exceeded.
NOTE (10): This value is time limited to 2 seconds. Starting temperatures above 850°C should be investigated for
cause of problem.
NOTE (11): Use of this rating is intended for emergency or abnormal conditions (i.e., maintaining altitude in extreme
wind-shear or icing conditions).
Note (12): When Air Conditioning is ON, refer to minimum Ng on Max Generator Power Figures in “Section 5”.

each outboard fuel filler port.

With the FUEL LOW L–R annunciation ON, continuous operation of the
aircraft in an uncoordinated manner (with the turn coordinator “ball” more
than one-quarter ball width out of the centered position) is prohibited.
The unusable fuel quantities increase when more severe sideslips are
maintained.
• Due to the possibility of fuel starvation, the maximum allowable full
rudder sideslip duration is 30 seconds.
• Maximum Allowable Fuel Imbalance in‑flight is 250 pounds.

FUEL SYSTEM ICING INHIBITOR (FSII)


To lower the freezing temperature of water contained in the fuel while
operating in ambient temperatures below 5°C (41°F), the fuel used must
contain an anti-icing fuel additive unless the exception conditions listed
below are met.

CAUTION : JP–5 and JP–8 fuels contain anti-icing additives. Do not use
additional additive with these fuels.

NOTE : Refer to “Section 1” of this manual for tables of approved fuels,


additives, and concentration levels.

WARNING : Injection of straight (unmixed) FSII directly into the aircraft


fuel tanks is prohibited. Undissolved FSII can damage elastomers and other
materials on the aircraft. Refer to “Section 8” of this manual.

FUEL SYSTEM ICING INHIBITOR EXCEPTION

WARNING : All fuels used must contain an anti-icing additive unless the
exceptions given in this section are followed.

The use of an anti-icing fuel additive is optional only when ALL THREE of
Limitations

the following conditions are satisfied:


1. For operations where the entire flight and ground profile will be
conducted in ambient temperatures at or above 5°C (41°F), AND
2. The aircraft has been continuously parked or operated at or above
5°C (41°F) since the last flight when the fuel system contained specified
concentrations of DIEGME anti-icing fuel additive, AND
3. Fuel filler port placards, shown in the placard section, comply with the
limitations given.
If fuel with DIEGME is not used, the operator is required to use a biocidal
fuel additive given in “Section 1” of this manual. Any operation with
fuel that does not contain DIEGME will require the operator to verify
appropriate concentration levels of DIEGME in the aircraft’s fuel system,
whenever this component is reintroduced.

WARNING : If the aircraft becomes exposed to temperatures below


5°C (41°F) for any length of time without an approved fuel system icing
inhibitor, the icing inhibitor must be reintroduced prior to the next flight.
After reintroducing the icing inhibitor and verifying that the appropriate
concentration levels have been achieved, the operator shall perform the
following checks prior to the next flight:
1. Inspect both fuel tanks for signs of ice and/or other contaminates.
2. Perform an engine run of at least a 20 minute duration, during which
the engine is operated for at least 3 minutes at takeoff power levels.

100 S E R I E S EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3-1 GENERAL
This section of the Pilot’s Operating Handbook describes the
recommended procedures for managing various types of emergencies or
critical situations that may occur. Performing proper preflight inspections
and maintenance procedures will help prevent emergencies caused by
airplane or power plant malfunctions. In-flight weather emergencies
can be avoided with proper preflight planning and good judgement
when unexpected weather is encountered. However, if an emergency
should take place, the basic procedures outlined in this section should be
considered and applied, as required, to remedy the problem.

WARNING : There is no substitute for proper and thorough preflight

Emergency
planning action, along with the continual use of the information gathered
during the preflight process. Be thoroughly knowledgeable of possible
hazards and dangerous conditions, and be aware of the capabilities and
limitations of the airplane.

100 S E R I E S EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3-4 AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The following Amplified Emergency Procedures elaborate upon
information contained in the Emergency Procedures Checklist portion in
this section. These amplified procedures provide information not readily
adaptable to a checklist format. Pilots should become familiar with the
amplified procedures to have a better understanding of why certain
steps are performed in the checklists and to assist in troubleshooting
emergencies.

ENGINE FAILURE

During Takeoff Roll

Emergency
If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll, the most important
thing to do is control the airplane and bring it to a stop on the remaining
runway. The other items included in the checklist provide additional safety
after a failure of this type occurs.

WARNING : Intentional shutdown and securing of the engine in‑flight for


training purposes is not recommended, due to the high risk involved.

Immediately Following Takeoff


If an engine failure occurs shortly after takeoff (less than 1000 feet AGL),
the most important thing to do is to maintain control of the airplane by
immediately lowering the nose and maintaining airspeed. Feathering the
propeller will reduce drag substantially, resulting in an increase in glide
distance. In most situations, the landing should be executed straight
ahead or within 45° left or right of the runway heading, as necessary to
avoid obstructions. The checklist format provides steps for securing the
fuel and electrical systems, on the assumption there is enough time to
accomplish these items.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 3_21


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
® ®
Section 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 100 SERIES

Engine Failure During Flight


Following an engine failure in‑flight, establish the best glide speed as soon
as possible. Feathering of the propeller should be accomplished at the
discretion of the pilot and is dependent upon individual circumstances.
Selection of maximum RPM will result in an increased gas generator
windmilling speed, for emergency restarts without the use of the starter.
Feathering the propeller, on the other hand, will provide the maximum
glide distance.
When established in a proper glide toward a suitable landing zone, an
effort should be made to identify what caused the loss of engine power.
• A complete engine failure may be identified by abnormal engine
temperature and excessive vibration or mechanical noise, accompanied
by the loss of engine power.
Emergency

• An engine flameout can be identified by a drop in ITT, Torque, and %Ng.


• An engine rollback (a malfunction in the fuel control unit governing
section, causing the Ng to rollback to minimum idle: 48-53%) may have
similar symptoms to a flameout, but a rollback can be corrected by
using the Emergency Power Lever to bypass the fuel control unit.

CAUTION : Do not attempt to restart an engine, which is known to have


completely failed.

Flameout During Flight


A flameout may be the result of the engine running out of fuel, heavy rain
conditions, or unstable engine operation. Unstable engine operation, such
as a compressor surge, may be identified by an audible popping noise just
prior to flameout. Once the fuel supply has been restored to the engine,
ignition is provided, or the cause of the unstable engine operation is
eliminated, the engine may be successfully restarted.
• The best method for restarting the engine in‑flight is to initiate the
relight procedure immediately after the flameout occurs.
• Restarts should only be initiated if the pilot is certain the flameout
was not the result of a malfunction, which could cause a hazard after
relight.
• Regardless of airspeed and altitude, it is possible for the engine to be
restarted by merely turning on the ignition switch. In an emergency,
turn the ignition switch on immediately after flameout, provided the
gas generator speed remains above 52%. Under these circumstances,
it is not necessary to shut off fuel to the engine or feather the propeller.
However, the power lever should be retarded to the IDLE position.

WARNING : The pilot should determine the reason for power loss prior to
attempting an air start.

If a flameout has occurred and the gas generator speed falls below 52%,
bring the fuel condition lever to the CUTOFF position prior to attempting
an air start. Feathering of the propeller depends on the individual

3_22 Pilot’s Operating Handbook

Section 3
100 S E R I E S EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
circumstances and should be accomplished at the discretion of the pilot.
However, if the engine oil pressure falls below 15 PSI, the propeller should
be feathered.
AIR START
If an air start is to be attempted, the checklist procedures should be
followed. The Starter Assisted procedure is the preferred method, since it
results in cooler starting temperatures. Successful starter assisted air starts
may be accomplished at all normal operating airspeeds, and up to an
altitude of 16,000 feet. If the engine starter is inoperative, follow the Not
Starter Assisted Air Start checklist.

CAUTION :

Emergency
• It takes approximately 15 seconds and 300 feet in altitude to
accomplish a starter assisted air start (using the HI-START feature)
when established in a glide at 97 KIAS, and with the propeller feathered.
• When starting the engine, if a rise in Ng and ITT are not indicated within
10 seconds, bring the fuel condition lever into the CUTOFF position
and abort the start. Refer to the Catastrophic Engine Failure During
Flight and Engine Out Emergency Landing checklists.
• Do not attempt a “Not Starter Assisted Air Start” with 0% Ng.

NOTE : The fuel condition lever may be briefly moved to the CUTOFF
position and then returned to LOW IDLE if over-temperature conditions
occur. This momentarily interrupts the fuel flow to the engine combustion
chamber.

SMOKE AND FIRE


In the event of fire or smoke in the cabin, the following information will
be of assistance in dealing with the emergency as quickly and safely as
possible.
The Preflight Checklist in “Section 4” of this manual is provided as an
aid to the pilot in detecting conditions which could possibly lead to an
aircraft fire. Fires require a combustible material, oxygen, and a source of
ignition. Close attention should be given during the preflight inspection
to locate potential fire hazards, especially in the engine compartment and
underside of the wing and fuselage. Leaks in the fuel or oil systems can
lead to a ground or in-flight fire.

WARNING : Do not attempt to fly the aircraft with known fuel or oil leaks.
The presence of fuel or unusual oil stains may be an indication of system
leaks and should be remedied prior to flight.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 3_23


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS

Section 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 100 SERIES

Engine Fire
Engine fires may be caused by a malfunction with the fuel control unit or
improper starting techniques. Improper procedures such as starting with
the emergency power lever out of its NORMAL position, or providing fuel
to the engine when the gas generator speed is below 14% RPM, will tend
to cause a hot start, which may result in an engine fire. In the event of an
engine fire, refer to the Engine Fire During Start checklist.
If an aircraft fire is discovered while on the ground or on takeoff (prior to
committing to flight), the aircraft should be stopped as soon as possible
and evacuated.
Engine fires originating in‑flight must be controlled as quickly as possible
in order to prevent major structural damage. Immediately shut off all
fuel to the engine and shut it down. An engine restart should not be
Emergency

attempted following an engine fire.

Fire or Smoke in Cabin


Fire or smoke in the cabin should be controlled by identifying the faulty
system and shutting it down. If oxygen masks are available, turn ON the
oxygen system prior to shutting down the electrical system. This will open
the valve at the oxygen bottle and allow oxygen to flow to the masks
even with the electrical power is turned OFF. Once the electrical system is
turned OFF, the oxygen masks may then be put on.
Cabin smoke may be cleared by opening the cabin ventilation controls.
If the smoke is dense, the door may be opened slightly and/or a storm
window may be opened to draw out the smoke. If the fire gains intensity
after opening the door, it should be closed immediately. Use the cabin
fire extinguishers as necessary to extinguish the cabin fire. If either the
forward or aft cabin fire extinguishers have been activated, ventilate the
cabin prior to activating the other extinguisher(s), to prevent excessive
build-up of toxic residue from the extinguishing agent.
The first indication of an electrical fire is often the smell of burning wire
insulation. Following the Electrical Fire/Smoke In‑Flight checklist should
eliminate an electrical fire.

WARNING : In the event of smoke or fire, prepare to land the aircraft


without delay, while completing fire suppression and/or smoke
evacuation procedures. If it cannot be visually verified that the fire has
been completely extinguished, whether the smoke has cleared or not,
land immediately a the nearest suitable airfield or landing site.

LANDING EMERGENCIES
Forced Landings
If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is imminent,
choose a suitable landing area and prepare for the landing as outlined in
the Engine Out Emergency Landing checklist.

3_24 Pilot’s Operating Handbook


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS

Section 3
100 S E R I E S EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Prior to executing an “off airport” landing with engine power available, fly
over the landing area at a safe but low altitude and inspect the terrain for
obstructions and undesirable surface conditions. Proceed as outlined in
the Powered Precautionary Landing checklist.

NOTE : The overhead fuel selector valve handles control the fuel shutoff
valves at the outlets of the fuel tanks. To minimize fire hazards, these selectors
should be turned OFF during the final stages of an “off airport” approach to
landing. With the fuel selectors turned OFF, there will be sufficient fuel in the
reservoir tank for approximately three (3) minutes of maximum continuous
power, or approximately nine (9) minutes of operation at idle power.

Emergency
WARNING : If the precautionary landing is aborted, return the fuel tank
selectors to the ON position while initiating the Go-Around.

Ditching
For ditching (performing an emergency water landing), if possible, secure
or jettison heavy objects located in the cabin or baggage area and collect
folded coats, or other padded objects, for face protection at touchdown.
Transmit a Mayday message on 121.5 MHz providing the location and
your intentions and Squawk 7700. At night, avoid flaring the aircraft
because of possible difficulty in judging the aircraft’s height above water
surfaces.
Jammed or Disconnected Rudder
The airplane can be safely controlled to a landing by using ailerons to turn
the airplane. If possible, avoid crosswinds and select a wide runway to
compensate for any drift with crosswind. Ground control after landing can
be maintained using differential braking.
Jammed or Disconnected Ailerons
The airplane can be safely controlled to a landing by using the rudder to
turn the airplane. Maximum flap deflection of 20° is recommended for
better responsiveness. If possible, limit the maximum bank angle to 15°
and avoid crosswinds. Select a wide runway to compensate for any drift
with crosswind.
Loss of Elevator Control
Use engine power and elevator trim to produce a long shallow approach,
at approximately 300 feet per minute descent, with 20° of flaps and 85
KIAS. Control the glide path by adjusting the engine power, and use small
trim adjustments to control airspeed.
The landing flare can be accomplished with a gentle reduction of power,
accompanied by nose–up trim. With forward C.G. loadings, it may be
necessary to increase the power slightly in the final portion of the flare to
bring the nose up and prevent a nose–first landing. Following touchdown,
move the power level to IDLE.

ENGINE SYSTEM EMERGENCIES


Loss of Engine Oil Pressure
The OIL PRESS LOW annunciation will display on the PFD when the oil
pressure falls below 45 PSI. Complete loss of engine oil pressure will read
out on the oil pressure indicator and the pilot should be aware of the
following:
• Complete loss of oil pressure will eventually result in the loss
of propeller control, since the propeller springs and centrifugal
counterweights will drive the propeller into the feathered position.
• Complete loss of oil pressure will eventually cause the engine to seize.
Therefore, it is not recommended for the pilot to continue to operate
the engine following a complete loss of oil pressure.
Emergency

• Engine and propeller operation should be monitored closely for


indications of the onset of propeller feathering and engine seizure.
The Catastrophic Engine Failure During Flight checklist should be
completed as soon as possible.
• Operating the engine at the minimum power required to sustain flight
will normally prolong the time until loss of engine and propeller thrust.
Operating the engine with the oil pressure indicating in the yellow range
is not considered to be critical, but is a definite cause for concern and
should be tolerated only for the purpose of completing the immediate
flight. Do not attempt a takeoff with the oil pressure indicating in the
yellow range.
Fuel Control Unit Malfunctions
A malfunction in the pneumatic or governing section of the fuel control
unit may cause the engine power to decrease to a low idle condition. Fuel
control unit pneumatic or governing malfunctions can be identified by:
an ITT indication in the idle range of 500° to 600°C, an Ng indication of
approximately 48-52% (this percentage increases with altitude), and the
engine not responding to power lever input. If it is determined this type
of malfunction has occurred, the emergency power lever (fuel control unit
manual override) should be used to restore power to the engine. To use
the fuel control unit manual override system, place the engine power lever
in the IDLE position and slowly move the emergency power lever forward
of its IDLE gate and advance as desired. Any time the emergency power
lever is moved forward of its NORMAL position, EMER PWR LVR will be
annunciated.

CAUTION : When using the fuel control manual override system, engine
acceleration may be more rapid than when using the engine power lever.
Additional caution should be exercised to avoid exceeding the engine
operating limitations.

NOTE : When using the emergency power lever, 100% power may not be
obtainable.

Engine Inlet Bypass Failure


The INLET NOT BP annunciation will display on the PFD when the Engine
Inlet Bypass fails to reach the BYPASS position. If this annunciation
appears, move the Engine Inlet Override switch to BYPASS. The override
actuator will force the system to BYPASS and the INLET NOT BP
annunciation will disappear and the ENG INLET BP annunciation will
appear. In the unlikely event that both actuators fail to move the Engine

Engine Inlet Does Not Return to Normal
The INLET NOT NRM annunciation will display on the PFD when the
Engine Inlet does not reach the NORMAL position within 18 seconds after
being switched to NORMAL from BYPASS mode. If this occurs, move the
Engine Inlet back to the BYPASS position, using the Engine Inlet Override
switch, if necessary, and inspect the system after landing.
Engine Inlet Switch Fault
In the event that the INLET SW FAULT annunciation is displayed in‑flight,
the pilot must verify that the Inertial Separator is operating properly, or
take corrective action. The table below lists two scenarios that could lead
to an INLET SW FAULT annunciation, along with the corrective action.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 100 SERIES

FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS


Fuel Flow Interruption
Fuel flows by gravity from the wing tanks, through the fuel tank shutoff/
selector valves at the inboard portion of each wing tank, to the reservoir
located under the center cabin floorboard. Once the engine is started,
the main ejector fuel pump (located inside the fuel reservoir) provides
the fuel flow to the engine-driven fuel pump, at pressures ranging from
approximately 4.5 PSI at idle to 18 PSI at maximum power.
If the main ejector fuel pump should fail, a pressure switch located near
the reservoir tank will cause the FUEL PRESS LOW annunciation to display
on the PFD. If the ejector fuel pump is inoperative, unusable fuel quantity
increases from five (5) gallons to a total of nine (9) gallons. The auxiliary
fuel pump (if the switch is placed in the STBY position) will automatically
Emergency

turn on anytime the fuel pressure falls below approximately 4 PSI.


The red RESERVOIR FUEL annunciation will illuminate anytime the fuel
level in the reservoir falls below approximately 1/2 full. If this should
occur, the pilot should immediately verify both fuel selectors are in the ON
position and turn both the ignition switch and the auxiliary fuel pump to
ON.

WARNING : Once the RESERVOIR FUEL annunciation illuminates, there


will only be about three (3) minutes of fuel available in the reservoir, for
engine operation at maximum continuous power.

If the fuel selector valves have been left in the OFF position, returning
them to the ON position will quickly fill the reservoir and thus extinguish
the RESERVOIR FUEL annunciation. Once the cause of the problem has
been corrected, the ignition switch may be turned OFF and auxiliary fuel
pump switch may be returned to its STBY position.

NOTE : Another possible cause of the RESERVOIR FUEL annunciation


being shown is an air bubble being trapped in the reservoir. To help clear
out fuel from the vent lines and eliminate the air bubble in the reservoir,
attempt a steady heading sideslip for 10 seconds in each direction.

A “fuel selectors off” warning system is provided to warn the pilot if


both fuel selectors are placed in the OFF position. Included in the G1000
warning system is a red annunciation labeled FUEL OFF , and a warning
chime. In addition, a red LED warning light located near the pilot’s PFD will
illuminate. The LED warning light is labeled:

WARNING!

ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY MALFUNCTIONS
Loss of Electrical Power
For increased redundancy, the electrical system includes two 24 volt
batteries, a starter/generator, and an alternator. All of which may
provide electrical power to the master control unit. If one or more of the
power sources should fail, the remaining operational power source(s)
is capable of providing sufficient electrical power for most situations.
If the VOLTAGE LOW annunciation should appear on the PFD, the EIS
page should be cross referenced to determine bus voltages. If there is
an actual system malfunction, nonessential electrical equipment on the
malfunctioned bus should be turned OFF and a landing should be made
at the nearest airport to determine the cause of the problem before
further flight.

Emergency
3-5 INADVERTENT FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS
Flight into known icing conditions is prohibited unless the aircraft
is equipped with the complete “flight into known icing equipment
package” and all of the equipment is operative. However, during flights
into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC), icing conditions may
be encountered inadvertently, and action should be taken to exit those
conditions as soon as possible. Initiation of a climb is usually the best
action to take for avoiding icing. Course reversal and accomplishing a
descent into known warmer air are viable alternatives. If ice remains on the
leading edges of the flight surfaces after an inadvertent icing encounter, a
flaps-up landing should be performed. This will reduce the chance of tail
stall. Refer to the Inadvertent Icing Encounter checklist in this section.
ICE FORMATION DETERMINATION
Typically, ice will accumulate more efficiently on a leading edge with a
small radius than on a leading edge with a large radius. With relatively
small leading edge radii, the wing strut and flap tracks are good locations
to monitor for ice build-up, but may not be as visible to the pilot as the
wing leading edges. It is recommended to monitor for ice build-up in the
following areas:
1. Wing Leading Edge
2. Wing Struts
3. Leading Edge of Flap Tracks (unprotected surface)
4. Lower Portion of Windshield

3A-1 GENERAL 
This section of the Pilot’s Operating Handbook describes the
recommended procedures for managing various types of abnormal
situations or malfunctions that may occur. Performing proper preflight
inspections and maintenance procedures will help prevent abnormal
airplane or power plant malfunctions. However, if an abnormal
malfunction should take place, the basic procedures outlined in this
section should be considered and applied, as required, to remedy the
problem.

Abnormal

NOTE : The GPS altitude in the KODIAK® is very accurate and is therefore
an excellent source for determining true altitude. Deviations from standard
temperature or pressure can cause indicated altitude to deviate from GPS
altitude. Below 14,000 feet with the correct local altimeter setting set,
indicated altitude will normally be well within 500 feet of the GPS altitude.

Use the following guidelines to help estimate the correct indicated altitude
for non-standard conditions:
• Temperatures WARMER than standard will cause indicated altitude to
read LOWER than GPS (True) altitude.
• Temperatures COLDER than standard will cause indicated altitude to
read HIGHER than GPS (True) altitude.

Operating the engine with the dipstick/cap unlatched will result in
excessive oil loss leading to eventual engine stoppage.

NOTE : In order to obtain an accurate oil level reading, it is necessary


to either check the oil within 10 to 20 minutes after engine shutdown
(referencing the max hot markings while the oil is still hot) or to reference
the max cold markings prior to the first flight of the day. If more than 10
to 20 minutes has elapsed since engine shutdown and the engine oil is
still warm, perform an engine motoring run for approximately 5 seconds
(in accordance with Section 3A-2, Abnormal Procedures Checklist, Dry
Motoring Run / Engine Clearing) before checking the oil level while
referencing the maximum hot markings.

4-4 AMPLIFIED NORMAL PROCEDURES


The following Amplified Normal Procedures elaborate upon information
contained in the Normal Procedures Checklist portion of this Section.
These amplified procedures provide information not readily adaptable
to a checklist format. Pilots should become familiar with the amplified
procedures to have a better understanding of why certain steps are
performed in the checklists and to assist in troubleshooting emergencies.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

WARNING : Visually inspect the airplane to determine the general overall


condition. While performing a walk-around inspection, remove any ground
service equipment. It may be necessary to use a ladder to gain access to the
wings for visual inspection, refueling ,and checking the stall warning vane
and pitot heat.

It is the pilot-in-command’s responsibility to ensure the airplane is ready


for flight. Along with the Preflight Inspection checklist, the following
checks should be performed prior to a flight:
1. E nsure the fuel supply is free of debris or contamination before flight.
Any traces of solid contaminants such as rust, sand, pebbles, dirt, or
Procedures

bacterial growth must be considered hazardous and removed from


the fuel system prior to flight. In addition to debris in the fuel, liquid
contamination must also be removed; this includes water, incorrect
fuel types, or unapproved additives. Fuel samples should be taken
from all of the fuel drain locations during each preflight inspection and
following every refueling of the aircraft.
2. T he 17 (seventeen) fuselage floor skin drain holes should also be
checked for any sign of blockage or leakage.

NOTE : This check is especially important if your aircraft is equipped with


an External Cargo Compartment. Care should be taken to open the cargo
compartment doors and confirm all sidewall and subfloor drain holes are
clean.

3. T he preflight inspection checklist is recommended for utilization prior


to each flight. If the airplane has been in storage for an extended
amount of time, has had recent major maintenance work, or has
been operated from rough or unimproved surfaces, a more extensive
exterior inspection is recommended.
4. F lights taking place at night or in cold weather involve careful preflight
inspection of other specific areas, which are outlined in this Section.
During cold weather operations, it is essential to remove even small
traces of frost, ice, or snow from the wings, tail, and control surfaces.
Ensure the control surfaces and flap tracks do not contain internal ice
or debris accumulations. If these requirements are not performed, a
noticeable degradation of performance may occur, possibly to the

extent where a safe takeoff and climb may not be possible. Prior to any
flight into instrument meteorological conditions, check the pitot static
source and stall warning heaters (if equipped) for proper heating within
30 seconds of activating the proper switches.
5. F ollowing the accomplishment of major maintenance procedures on
the airplane, the preflight inspections should be modified to give extra
attention to the flight controls and trim tabs to ensure freedom of
movement and actuation in the correct direction. Also, all inspection
panels on the airplane should be checked to ensure proper security of
installation.
6. I f the airplane has been exposed to ground handling, especially in a
crowded hangar, it should be checked carefully for dents and scratches
on the wings, fuselage, propeller, flight controls, and empennage. Also
check for damage to navigation lights, strobe lights, and antennas.
If the airplane has been parked outside in high wind conditions or
exposed to propeller/jet wash, carefully inspect the flight control
surface stops, hinges, and brackets for signs of wind damage.
7. I f the airplane has been operated on an unimproved runway/taxiway,
check the propeller blade tips, the leading edges of the propeller
blades, and the horizontal tail for abrasions. Airplanes operated in and
out of unimproved strips, especially at high altitudes, are subjected to
high loads on the landing gear. Perform frequent inspections of the
landing gear, tires, and brakes.

Procedures
8. O
 utside storage may result in water accumulation in the pitot/static
system and fuel tanks. Dust and dirt can also enter the engine air inlet
and exhaust areas. If any water is expected in the static line, open the
static source drain valve and drain completely. Ensure the static source
drain valve is returned to the closed position prior to flight.
9. I f any water is found to be present in the fuel system, the inboard
fuel tank sump quick drain valves, fuel reservoir quick drain valve
and the firewall fuel filter quick drain valve should all be thoroughly
drained and checked until there is no further sign of water or debris
contamination in the fuel system.
10. P
 rolonged storage of the aircraft may result in considerable water
buildup in the fuel system due to water separating from the fuel
additives. This is indicated by excessive amounts of water accumulating
in the fuel tank sumps. Refer to “Section 8”of this manual and
“Chapter 12” of the KODIAK® 100 Airplane Maintenance Manual for
fuel system servicing procedures.
11. T o prevent inadvertent loss of fuel in‑flight, ensure the fuel tank filler
caps are tightly sealed following visual checks of the fuel quantity or
servicing. The fuel system vents should be inspected for obstructions,
ice, or water, especially following flights into cold weather.
12. T he interior inspection will vary according to the type of flight plan and
the optional equipment installations. Prior to flights at high altitudes,
it is important to check the oxygen supply equipment for proper
operation and availability of face masks and hose assemblies.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING : The pilot in command is responsible for ensuring the airplane


is properly loaded prior to takeoff, within the center of gravity limits and
weight limits established in this handbook.

WARNING : Failure to properly utilize the seat belts, shoulder harnesses


and inertia reel locks could result in serious injury or death should an
accident occur.

The Before Starting Engine checklist is straightforward and should be


followed very closely to ensure proper starting of the engine. Items from
the checklist which may require further explanation are described below:
• When setting the electrical switches prior to starting the engine,
both the MASTER and AVN BUS switches should be turned on to
allow the avionics systems to accomplish their initialization and
self-test processes. The electronic checklist provided through the
MFD is available only with the AVN BUS ON. The beacon should also
be turned ON to provide an indication to the ground personnel
that engine operations are being accomplished. All other electrical
component switches should be turned OFF during engine starts, to
provide the highest amount of possible voltage to the starter.
Procedures

CAUTION : Ensure the Emergency Power Lever is stowed in its NORMAL


position prior to starting the engine. If the Emergency Power Lever is out
of its normal gate during engine start, excessive fuel will be supplied to the
engine, resulting in a hot start.

• Before starting the engine, the power lever is placed against the BETA
gate in the IDLE position; the propeller control lever is placed full aft
in the FEATHER position; and the fuel condition lever is placed full aft
in the CUTOFF position.

CAUTION : Damage could occur to the propeller reversing linkage if the


power lever is moved aft of the IDLE position and into the BETA range,
when the engine is not running and the propeller is feathered.

LO START:  The LO/MOTOR function of the starter switch is provided for
an alternate method of starting the engine when battery condition is poor;
clearing fuel from the engine; or dry-motoring of the engine (in accordance
with Section 3A-2, Abnormal Procedures Checklist, Dry Motoring Run/
Engine Clearing) for compressor washes and other maintenance-related
procedures. The ignition system is not automatically energized when LO/
MOTOR is selected, and the batteries remain in parallel with each other
to maintain 24 volts to the starter/generator. An advisory annunciation is
provided through the G1000®, indicating power is being supplied to the
starter. Annunciation is displayed as follows: STARTER ON

NOTE: When using battery power only, it is recommended to use the


LO/MOTOR function to start the aircraft for the first flight of the day.

HI START:   Though HI START results in faster light‑off, cooler starting


temperatures, and lower stresses on the engine, it depletes the batteries
more quickly. The Master Control Unit (MCU) initiates the start with the

Procedures
two batteries in parallel and then, as the starter current decays to a pre-
determined value, the batteries are switched into series to feed the starter.
The resultant 48 volts appear only at the starter and nowhere else in the
electrical system. The inrush current and impact torque on the accessory
gears is significantly reduced and the engine acceleration is faster, which
results in reduced peak inter-turbine temperatures at startup.
If a ground power unit is available, an external power start should be
performed on the first flight of the day or if maintenance has been
performed on the aircraft involving the use of the aircraft electrical system.
Even if 24 volts is shown on the voltmeter, the battery condition may be less
than desired.
If a ground power unit is not available, a LO/MOTOR START should be
selected on the first flight of the day, or if maintenance has been performed
on the aircraft involving the use of the aircraft electrical system. LO/
MOTOR START should also be selected and is recommended if a HI START is
attempted without successful light-off, and no external power is available.
The LO START cycle does not consume as much battery power for continued
attempts to start the engine.

NORMAL PROCEDURES 100 SERIES

Checklist Procedures for Engine Starting


The Engine Starts checklist procedures must be followed closely to assure
satisfactory starting of the engine.
• With the Battery Master Switch ON, check the bus voltages for a reading
of 24 volts minimum. If the battery voltage is lower than 24 volts, external
power should be used to start the engine. If the low-voltage problem
persists, the problem should be determined and remedied prior to
attempting an engine start.
• Verify the Emergency Power Lever is secured in its NORMAL position.
• Actuate the Auxiliary Fuel Pump switch and verify the AUX PUMP ON
annunciator is shown on the PFD, and there is no indication of fuel flow.
• The ignition switch may be placed in the OFF position when starting the
engine in HI START mode, as the igniters are automatically excited when
the starter switch is actuated. The ignition switch must be placed in the
ON position for a LO/MOTOR start.
• Actuate the starter switch to HI for a HI START or LO/MOTOR for a LO
START.
Verify the IGNITION ON annunciation is illuminated, Engine Oil Pressure
is rising and the gas generator RPM (Ng) accelerates through a minimum
of 14%. Once all of those conditions are met, bring the fuel condition lever
to the LOW IDLE position. Verify the fuel flow is approximately 100 pounds
per hour, the ITT remains below 1090°C ITT is time limited to 2 seconds)
and the Ng reaches idle RPM of approximately 52%.
Procedures

CAUTION : If the ITT rises rapidly towards 1090°C, or if no ITT rise is


observed within 10 seconds after moving the fuel condition lever to LOW
IDLE, bring the fuel condition lever to CUTOFF and perform the engine
clearing procedure described in this section to prevent a hot start.

NOTE : Typically, the ITT temperature during start will be substantially


lower than 1090°C (approximately 500°C for HI START and 700°C for LO
START).

Once the engine speed reaches idle (52% Ng), release the starter switch
to the OFF position and verify the STARTER ON annunciation is not
shown on the PFD. When the engine is cold, or if there is a high load on
the generator, it may be necessary to advance the power lever slightly
forward of the idle detent to maintain a minimum idle RPM of 52% Ng. To
prevent the idle RPM from dropping below 52% Ng, the power lever may
be advanced to obtain 55% Ng prior to turning the generator switch ON.

CAUTION : Operating the engine under high OAT and higher ground
elevations may cause the ITT to exceed the idle limitation of 685°C. To
prevent an over-temperature condition during ground operations, it may
be necessary to advance the power lever slightly to cause an increase in Ng
and/or reduce engine accessory loads to maintain the ITT within its limits.

Section 4
100 S E R I E S NORMAL PROCEDURES

NOTE : If the STARTER ON annunciation remains shown on the PFD


after the starter switch has been returned to the OFF position, the starter
contactor may be closed and the generator will not function. Perform an
engine shutdown.

Starting with Alternate Power


The engine may be started with airplane battery power or with a ground
power unit (GPU). However, it is recommended that a GPU be used to start
the engine when the outside air temperatures are less than -18°C (0°F).
Refer to the Cold Weather Operations description in this section when
ambient temperatures are lower than -18°C (0°F).

CAUTION : Do not plug in the Ground Power Unit (GPU) unless the
aircraft batteries are connected to the Master Control Unit (MCU).

CAUTION : When a Ground Power Unit is used, ensure the unit is


negatively grounded and regulated at 28 volts DC. The GPU must be able
to provide a minimum of 800 amperes during the starting cycle and must
not exceed 1700 amperes.

Procedures
Hot Starts
Prior to starting the engine with battery power, check the bus voltages
for a minimum of 24 volts. As with all turbine engines, the operator must
monitor the ITT during each start to take corrective action if signs of a
“hot start” are present. The operator must be prepared to immediately
terminate the start if the ITT exceeds 1090°C or is rapidly approaching
this limit. Hot starts are not a common occurrence if the proper starting
procedures are followed. A “hot start” is an over-temperature condition
caused by excessive fuel flow at normal engine RPM or normal fuel flow
with low engine RPM. The latter is the more common situation and is
usually caused by attempting an engine start with a partially discharged
or weak battery system.

CAUTION : A minimum battery voltage of 24 volts is not always a


proper indication of the battery being fully charged or in good condition.
Therefore, during the early stages of performing an engine start, if the
gas generator acceleration is noticeably lower than normal, return the
fuel condition lever to the CUTOFF position and discontinue the start.
Recharge the batteries or use an auxiliary power unit to start the engine.

Following a terminated start for any reason, it is essential to allow a 30


second draining period to drain off the residual fuel prior to attempting
the next start. Failure to drain all of the residual fuel from the engine could
lead to a hot start, a hot streak damaging the hot section, or torching of
residual fuel in the engine exhaust on the next successful ignition.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 4_25


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
® ®
Section 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES 100 SERIES

After the residual fuel has drained for 30 seconds, perform a dry
motoring run for 15 seconds (in accordance with Section 3A-2, Abnormal
Procedures Checklist, Dry Motoring Run / Engine Clearing), observing
the starter limitations. This will ensure that no fuel is trapped prior to
accomplishing the next start. If the engine fails to start after attempting
a HI START, follow the Engine Starting Cycle Limitations provided in
“Section 2” of this manual.
Engine Ignition Procedures
For most engine running operations, the ignition switch should be left
in the OFF position. With the switch left in the OFF position, the igniters
will automatically be excited when the starter switch is in the HI START
position. The ignition switch should be placed in the ON position for LO
START operations, when engine start is desired.

NOTE : Leaving the ignition switch in the ON position for extended


periods of time will reduce the life of the ignition system components.
Anticipated service life of the igniters averages between 250 and 300
hours.

However, the ignition switch should be turned ON to provide a continuous


source of ignition during the following conditions:
a. Operation on water or slush covered runways.
Procedures

b. Flight into heavy precipitation.

100 S E R I E S NORMAL PROCEDURES
Engine Inlet—Inertial Separator Procedures
Installed in the engine air inlet duct is an inertial air particle separator
(inertial separator). The inertial separator system is provided to prevent
ice buildups on the compressor inlet screen while operating in icing
conditions, and to minimize the ingestion of foreign particles during
ground operations or takeoffs with dusty, sandy field conditions.
The inertial separator (switch labeled ENG INLET) should be placed in
BYPASS mode prior to operating the engine on the ground, or in‑flight
when the outside air temperature (OAT) is less than 5°C (41°F) and visible
moisture (clouds, rain, snow, or ice crystals) is present.
The inertial separator should also be placed in the BYPASS mode for
ground operations and takeoffs in dusty or sandy field conditions, to help
minimize engine ingestion of dust, sand, and debris.
The NORMAL mode should be selected for all other engine operating
conditions, since it provides a substantial inlet ram recovery, resulting in
more efficient engine operation. Refer to “Section 7” of this manual for
more information concerning the inertial air particle separator.
Aircraft Serial Numbers 100-0043 and up, and airplanes equipped with
Ice Protection Systems, are also equipped with an additional override
actuator, referred to as a “Dual Actuated Inertial Particle Separator.” See
“Section 7” of this manual for more information.
TAXIING

Procedures
The power lever may be placed into BETA range during taxi, to improve
brake life and increase stopping performance during landing. BETA
range is selected by lifting up on the BETA lever and moving the power
lever aft—over a gate. With the power lever moved into this BETA range
position, the propeller is at a fine pitch and produces nearly zero thrust
in a static 52% Ng idle condition. A leaf spring is installed in the control
quadrant which the power lever contacts and provides the pilot with an
indication of reaching the REVERSE range. Moving the power lever further
aft from this position in REVERSE range will result in a negative blade
angle and an increase in engine power to produce reverse thrust from the
blades.

CAUTION : The use of reverse thrust should be limited to use on


prepared surfaces to protect the propeller from damage caused by small
rocks or pebbles being lifted into the propeller blades.

Propeller RPM Limitation


Stabilized ground operation is prohibited between 450 and 1050 RPM.
The propeller may be operated when feathered at or below 450 RPM. BETA
may be used to increase Np without causing excessive taxi speeds.

BEFORE TAKEOFF
Both fuel tank selector valves should always be placed in the ON position
prior to engine start and takeoff. It is permissible to turn one side OFF as
necessary to balance the fuel load if an out of balance condition exists.
This should be performed either on the ground or during cruise at a safe
altitude.

WARNING : Do not exceed a fuel imbalance of greater than 250 pounds


in‑flight.

Prior to the first flight of the day, perform an operational check of the
engine inlet/inertial separator system. Cycle the ENG INLET switch and
check that the position is annunciated appropriately on the PFD.
A takeoff index range is provided on the elevator trim tab position
indicator. As the aircraft is loaded to an aft or forward C.G. condition, the
elevator trim setting should be adjusted to compensate for the condition
in which the aircraft is loaded. The pointer on the rudder trim indicator
normally moves slightly during taxi and when the rudder pedals are being
moved. To achieve a steady and accurate indication for setting the rudder
trim for takeoff, set the rudder trim with the aircraft stopped, the nose
wheel centered, parking brake set, and feet off of the rudder pedals.

portion of this section for procedures to follow when checking the


overspeed governor, aileron trim, elevator trim, and audio panel
equipment.
The automatic trim compensation system may be disabled on the ground
through an airspeed switch (installed on airplane serial numbers 100-0070
and below) to prevent accidental placing of the aircraft in an out-of-trim
condition before takeoff, i.e., the pilot sets the pitch trim for takeoff, then
selects the flaps to takeoff position (20°), and the auto trim system runs
the pitch trim nose–down. The airspeed switch (if installed) activates the
automatic trim system at approximately 35 knots. In high wind conditions,
the airspeed switch (if installed) may allow the auto-trim system to
operate on the ground. Before taxiing onto the runway for takeoff, double
check the elevator trim indication to ensure it is positioned properly for
takeoff.
Prior to takeoff, move the fuel condition lever forward to the HIGH IDLE
position. Leave the fuel condition lever in this position until after landing.
The HIGH IDLE gas generator speeds allow for faster engine acceleration
when adding power from an idle condition.

TAKEOFF
Takeoff Power Settings
Refer to the Maximum Torque for Takeoff table in “Section 5” of this
manual to determine the torque value corresponding to the runway
altitude and temperature conditions. At higher altitudes and/or higher
temperatures, the maximum allowable torque is less than the instrument’s
redline. This torque should be obtainable without exceeding the 790°C ITT
and 101.6% Ng takeoff limitations.
To accomplish a smooth takeoff roll, hold the brakes while steadily
advancing the power until the propeller RPM reaches 2200. Release the
brakes evenly and continue to advance the power until the takeoff torque
derived from “Section 5” is reached.

NOTE : As the airspeed increases during takeoff, a resultant increase in


torque may be noted and is a normal condition. No reduction of torque
is required provided the torque limit of 1790 (at 2000 RPM) at low density
altitude or the limiting torque from the “Maximum Torque for Takeoff”
chart in”Section 5”is not exceeded.

Takeoff Wing Flap Settings


A flap setting of 20° is recommended for all takeoffs unless a strong

Procedures
crosswind is present, in which case 10° of flaps may be preferred. The use
of 20° of flaps is recommended due to the decreased takeoff roll, lower
liftoff speed, and a decrease in the total distance to clear obstacles (when
compared to using 10° of flaps).
A flap setting of greater than 20° is not recommended for takeoff use, due
to the increased drag with the flaps deflected to 35°.

WARNING : Always visually confirm the flap position prior to takeoff.


Taking off with flaps set at 0° can increase necessary takeoff distance by
300%.

Short Field Takeoff


If obstacles dictate the use of a steep climb angle after liftoff, accelerate
to and climb out at 73 KIAS with 20° of flaps. The takeoff performance
data outlined in “Section 5” of this manual is based on this speed and
configuration.
After clearing the obstacle, and reaching a safe operating altitude, the
flaps may be gradually retracted as the airplane accelerates to the normal
climb-out speed.
Minimum ground roll (soft field) takeoffs are accomplished by using 20°
of flaps, lifting the nose wheel off the ground as soon as practical, and
lifting off of the ground in a slightly tail low attitude. Once the airplane
is airborne, the nose should be lowered and the airplane accelerated in
ground effect to a safe climb speed.

Section 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES 100 SERIES

Crosswind Takeoff
Takeoffs into strong crosswinds may be performed with 10° or 20° of flaps.
The ailerons should be deflected fully into the wind when takeoff power
is first applied. As the airplane is accelerated, the aileron deflection should
be adjusted (decreased) appropriately. The airplane should be rotated at
a speed slightly higher than normal and pulled off abruptly to prevent
it from settling back to the runway while it is drifting. When the airplane
is clear of the ground, a coordinated turn should be made into the wind
for drift correction. Using 10° of flaps will improve directional control and
stability in performing crosswind takeoffs, although the takeoff distance
and rotation speed will be increased.
CLIMB
En Route Climb
Under normal conditions, maximum climb power may be maintained
throughout the climb, to the cruising altitude. As specified in “Section 2”
of this manual and on the installed placards, adjust the power lever as
required to comply with the maximum climb engine operating limits for
ITT, torque, and Ng%.
At density altitudes lower than approximately 7500 feet, the engine will
reach the torque limit prior to reaching the ITT or Ng limit. Refer to the
Max Torque for Climb charts in “Section 5” of this manual. As the airplane
continues to climb and the power lever is adjusted to maintain the
Procedures

desired torque, the ITT and Ng will increase until one or the other will be
established as the limiting engine parameter. While the climb ITT limit is
765°C, it is recommended that 740°C be used as the ITT limit in normal
operations. Doing so increases the life of the engine. Once reaching either
the ITT or Ng limits, the power lever should be adjusted accordingly, to
not exceed these limits. When operating the engine near its ITT limit, use
caution when advancing the power lever, as the ITT indication system has
some lag time. Even when monitoring the ITT indicator, the limits could be
exceeded if the power lever is advanced rapidly.
Climb performance is tabulated in”Section 5” of this manual, with a climb
speed of 1.3 Vs1 (101 KIAS). If circumstances dictate some improvement in
climb rate, particularly at high altitude, the use of Vy is recommended. Vy
varies almost linearly from 100 KIAS as sea level to 80 KIAS at 25,000 feet.
A cruise climb speed of 110-120 KIAS may be used for improved visibility
over the engine cowling at altitudes up to approximately 15,000 feet. For
improved passenger comfort, the propeller RPM may be reduced to as low
as 1900 RPM. Prior to decreasing propeller RPM, the power lever should
first be adjusted to prevent an over-torque condition. When an increase
in power is desired, the propeller RPM should be increased first and
then followed by an increase of torque with the power lever. All engine
limitations must be continuously monitored to prevent conditions which
exceed those limits.

NOTE : To achieve the maximum horsepower ratings, use a minimum of


2000 RPM.

100 S E R I E S NORMAL PROCEDURES
CRUISE
During the cruise phase of flight, power may be set at any desired setting,
up to the maximum cruise power. Do not exceed the maximum cruise
torque provided in the Cruise Performance charts in “Section 5” of this
manual, or the ITT, and Ng limitations.
Cruise performance tables are provided in “Section 5” of this manual
and should be utilized in conjunction with the winds aloft forecasts for
preflight planning. There are noticeable advantages to selecting higher
cruise altitudes. The cooler inlet temperatures and greater Ng speeds
attainable at higher altitudes cause an increase in specific range with
altitude, resulting in an increase in the nautical miles covered per pound
of fuel burn.
Anytime the outside air temperature is lower than 5°C (41°F) and visible
moisture is present, the pitot static heat and stall warning heat should
be turned ON. Also, the inertial air particle separator should be placed in
BYPASS mode.
The fuel tank quantity should be monitored to ensure that a fuel
unbalance condition in excess of 250 pounds does not occur. Normally,
both fuel tank selector valves should be left in the ON position and
fuel will flow equally from each tank. If the fuel loading is approaching
an unbalanced condition of 250 pounds, the fuel selector valve
corresponding to the wing with the lower fuel quantity should be turned
OFF. Once the two tanks are returned to a balanced condition, both
selector valves should be placed in the ON position.

Procedures
WARNING : The ignition switch should be turned ON when operating in
heavy precipitation. Refer to the “Ignition Procedures” in this section for
more information concerning the use of the ignition system.

CAUTION : Zero or negative “g” maneuvers with a duration of longer


than five seconds could starve the engine oil pump of oil, resulting in
serious engine damage.

Supplemental oxygen should be used by all occupants when operating


at cruising altitudes greater than 12,500 feet. It is advisable to use
supplemental oxygen at cruising altitudes less than 12,500 feet when
operating at night or when experiencing fatigue or emotional stress.
Excessive use of tobacco products or alcohol will normally necessitate the
use of supplemental oxygen, even at altitudes lower than 10,000 feet.

WARNING : Supplemental oxygen must be available and used as


specified by “14 CFR 91.211” to attain the maximum allowable operating
altitude of 25,000 feet.

WARNING : Oil, grease, soap, lipstick, lip balm, and other petroleum
based substances constitute a serious fire hazard when in contact with
aviation oxygen. Ensure hands, face and clothing are all oil-free prior to
handling oxygen equipment.

Stalls
The stall characteristics of this airplane are conventional and an aural
stall warning horn is provided, which will sound at a minimum of 5 KCAS
prior to a stall, in all loading configurations. The application of ailerons is
recommended to counteract any wing-drop that may occur during the
stall. Idle-power stall speeds at maximum weight for forward C.G. are
provided in “Section 5” of this manual.

NOTE : Stalls should be practiced in a conservative manner and at a


sufficient altitude to allow for a safe recovery.

LANDING
Normal Landing
Normal approaches to landing may be accomplished using any desired
flap setting. The preferred procedure is to extend flaps fully to minimize
the touchdown speed and subsequent rollout, lower the stall speed, and
allow for a steeper descent if obstacle clearance is required. Surface winds,
turbulence, wind shear, and possible ice accumulation are the primary
factors in determining the safest approach speed and flap setting.
Touchdowns should be accomplished slightly above stall speed, with idle
power, and the main wheels touching down first. The nose wheel should
Procedures

then be lowered slowly to the runway and the power lever brought into
the BETA range; brakes should then be applied as required. When the
airplane is taxied clear of the runway, the fuel condition lever may be
moved into the LOW IDLE position. This will reduce the cabin and exterior
noise levels as well as the braking pressure required. Landing may be
accomplished on rough or unimproved surfaces in a similar manner,
except the nose wheel should be held off as long as practicable and
lowered slowly, to prevent excessive nose gear loads.

WARNING : In-flight operation with the engine power lever retarded


below idle (beta mode) is prohibited. In-flight operation in beta mode may
result in an engine overspeed condition and consequent loss of engine
power or loss or airplane control. Operating in beta mode quickly produces
high amounts of drag which could result in a rapid loss of altitude or
complete loss of control.

NOTE : The use of BETA range following touchdown is recommended


to reduce brake wear. Generally, the use of BETA range will not cause
substantial propeller erosion from loose debris on the runways or
taxiways.

4_32 Pilot’s Operating Handbook


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS

Section 4
100 S E R I E S NORMAL PROCEDURES
Short Field Landing
Short field approach to landings should be powered approaches at a
speed of 74 KIAS, with the propeller control lever positioned full forward
(Max RPM) and full flaps. Once clear of all obstacles, the power should be
slowly reduced to IDLE and the nose lowered to maintain an approach
speed of 74 KIAS. Touchdown should be accomplished with the power
lever at IDLE and on the main wheels first. Immediately after touchdown,
the nose wheel should be lowered to the runway and the power lever
brought into BETA range; apply heavy brakes as required.
For maximum brake effectiveness, the flaps may be raised and the
elevator control pulled full aft. This process allows maximum weight to
be placed on the tires to help prevent tire skidding. Additional stopping
power is available with the use of reverse thrust. Using reverse thrust on
landing rollout will normally reduce rollout distance by approximately 5%.
Bringing the propeller into reverse thrust range produces a negative blade
angle and increased power from the gas generator.

WARNING : Flight operation with the engine power lever retarded below
idle (beta mode) is prohibited. Flight operation in beta mode may result
in an engine overspeed condition and consequent loss of engine power
or loss of airplane control. Operating in beta mode quickly produces high
amounts of drag which could result in a rapid loss of altitude or complete
loss of control.

Procedures
CAUTION : In an effort to minimize propeller blade erosion or possible
blade damage, reverse thrust should only be used when necessary to
shorten ground roll. The propeller should be brought out of reverse range
prior to slowing to approximately 25 knots.

Crosswind Landing
For crosswind approaches to landing, a “crab” method may be used
to maintain runway centerline track; a transition to a wing-low slip
configuration should be made just prior to touchdown. A flap setting
between 10° and 35° is recommended depending on runway length.
After touchdown, the nose should be lowered to allow directional
control. Maintain a straight course using the steerable nose wheel, aileron
deflection into the wind, and differential braking as necessary.
AFTER SHUTDOWN
Upon completion of the last flight of the day or if dusty conditions exist,
install the engine inlet cover and exhaust covers to protect the engine
from debris. It may be appropriate to wait for the engine to cool down.
Since no oil pressure is available for the engine when the engine is not
running, the propeller blades should be secured to prevent windmilling.

4-5 COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS


Proper preflight draining and sampling of the fuel system is especially
important during the winter season or prior to flights into cold
temperatures, in order to remove any water accumulation or to detect
frozen water in the lines, as evidenced by reduced fuel flow when
operating the drain valve. The use of a fuel anti-ice additive is required
for ice protection. Refer to “Section 2” of this manual for limitations and
requirements concerning proper use of fuel additives and “Section 8” of
this manual for information on servicing the fuel system.
Cold weather often causes adverse conditions which require special
attention prior to flight. The elevator and aileron trim tabs should be
actuated through their full range of motion to ensure proper operation
and to loosen any stiff components resulting from cold weather. Even the
slightest amounts of frost, ice, or snow must be removed from the aircraft
prior to flight. Special attention must be given to the wings, tail, and flight
control surfaces to ensure there is no accumulation of frozen moisture.
An external engine pre-heater should be utilized during cold weather
operations to reduce wear on the engine and electrical system. Preheating
the engine lowers the viscosity of the oil and allows it to flow through
the engine more freely; it also prevents it from being trapped in the oiler
cooler in extremely low temperatures.
The use of external power is recommended when ambient temperatures
drop below -18°C (0°F). Allow the engine oil temperature to reach a
Procedures

minimum of 10°C (50°F) prior to commencing takeoff.


If the runway surface is covered with snow or slush, allowances must
be made based on pilot judgment. Takeoff distances will be increased
as the snow or slush depth increases. In some instances, the depth and
consistency of the snow may prevent airplane takeoff.

4-6 NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
An effort should be made to minimize the adverse effect of airplane noise
on the public. As pilots, we have the opportunity to build public support
for aviation and demonstrate our concern for improving the environment.
United application of the following suggested procedures can be the first
step in conquering the barriers between the aviation community and the
general public.
1. P
 ilots operating aircraft under VFR, over noise–sensitive areas such
as outdoor assemblies and the recreational park areas, should,
weather permitting, make every effort to not fly less than 2000 feet
above ground level, even though the federal regulations permit such
operations.
2. W
 hile operating in and out of airports, climbs and descents should be
made in a manner as to avoid prolonged flight at low altitudes near
noise–sensitive areas.
3. S hortly after takeoff, power and propeller RPM should be reduced to
allow for quieter engine/propeller operation.
4. W
 henever published traffic patterns and noise abatement procedures
exist, those procedures should be followed, while not compromising
the safety of the flight.

NOTE : The above recommended procedures do not apply where they

Procedures
would interfere with air traffic control clearances, or otherwise cause an
adverse affect on the safety of the flight.

The corrected noise level of this airplane with a gross weight of 7255 lb
is 82.5 dB without the external cargo compartment and 83.3 dB with the
external cargo compartment, determined by flight tests when operated at
takeoff/maximum continuous power (1790 FT-LB torque at 2200 RPM). No
determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that
the noise levels of this airplane are or should be acceptable for operation
at, into, or out of any airport.
The above statement notwithstanding, the noise level stated above has
been verified by and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration in
noise level flight tests conducted in accordance with FAR Part 36, Appendix
G, Amendment 28, Noise Standards: Airplane Type and Airworthiness
Certification. The airplane noise is in compliance with all FAR Part 36 noise
standards applicable to this type.

100 S E R I E S PERFORMANCE
5-1 GENERAL
This section of the Pilot's Operating Handbook contains all of the
performance information required by the Federal Aviation Regulations, as
well as additional information provided by Quest Aircraft Company. The
performance data charts on the following pages are presented so that the
pilot may know what type of performance to expect from the airplane
under various conditions. The charts provided in this section should
be utilized in order to facilitate accurate planning of flights. The data
contained in the charts is compiled from actual flight tests using normal
piloting techniques, with an airplane and engine in good operating
condition.

WARNING: In order to duplicate the performance data provided in


this section, and prevent damage to the airplane or personal injury, the
airplane and engine must be in good operating condition. All charts are
based on airplanes in factory-issued condition, without modification.
Good piloting technique and proper preflight planning involving the use
of the performance data for all phases of flight are also required to attain
the expected performance and assure ample margins of safety.

The performance information provided in the Range and Endurance


Profile charts includes the required IFR fuel reserve of 45 minutes, at the
specified cruise power setting and altitude. When compiling information
for preflight planning, it is important to be aware of conditions, which may
affect airplane performance such as engine and propeller condition, along
with turbulent weather conditions.
Various graphs include notes concerning the approximate effects of
operating the engine with the inertial separator in BYPASS mode. The

Performance
degree of effect on performance will vary, depending upon airspeed,
temperature, and altitude. At lower altitudes, where engine power will
normally be limited by the maximum torque limits, the effect of operating
with the inertial separator in BYPASS will normally be less.
FLIGHT PLANNING
The performance tables in this section provide sufficient information to
facilitate a reasonably accurate calculations of performance data when
considering different variables. Reasonable preflight planning accuracy
can be attained from the performance numbers if conservative values are
selected from the detailed information provided in the tables. However,
variations in engine and propeller condition, air turbulence, and other
variables encountered during a particular flight may account for variations
of 10% or more in range and endurance.

NOTE: Various tables throughout this section will contain blue


numbers, which indicate performance with Air Conditioning ON, while
black numbers indicate performance with Air Conditioning OFF. Air
Conditioning may be abbreviated as “AC”.

PERFORMANCE 100 SERIES

5-17 FUEL CONSERVATION


The Cruise Performance charts in this section of the manual provide quick
reference information, regarding power settings to obtain maximum range.
These power settings should be used when it is desirable to conserve fuel
during a flight. Additionally, the Maximum Range Profile in this section
provides another resource for preflight planning, to assist in selecting the
proper cruise altitude for the best fuel efficiency.
FUEL RANGE RING
A fuel range ring is provided through the MFD on the Garmin G1000®.
This can be a valuable resource as a cross reference to determine if there
is sufficient fuel on board to make the flight with the proper reserves. Be
aware that this feature has limits, since the fuel range ring is calculated
using the LB REM (pounds remaining) from the fuel totalizer, which
requires pilot input. The current wind conditions are also factored into this
calculation, but it does not factor in winds that will be encountered later on
in the flight. For more information regarding the fuel range ring, refer to the
Garmin G1000® Pilot's Guide for the Quest KODIAK® 100.

5-18 CRUISE PERFORMANCE


(Refer to the tables on the following pages.)
The following information is applicable to all Cruise Performance Charts
contained in this section.

CAUTION: With the inertial air particle separator placed in BYPASS, maximum
cruise speed is reduced by up to 10 knots.
Performance

NOTE:
• The highest torque value for each temperature and RPM value
represents the maximum allowable cruise power. Do not exceed this
torque value: 740°C ITT, or 101.6% Ng, whichever occurs first.
• With the inertial air particle separator placed in BYPASS and the
power set below the cruise torque limit of 1840 FT-LB, decrease
the maximum cruise torque by 50 FT-LB when below 10,000 feet,
and 60 FT-LB when above 10,000 feet. Do not exceed 740°C ITT
or 101.6% Ng.
• When the Air Conditioning is ON, and the power is set below the cruise
torque limit of 1840 FT-LB, decrease the maximum cruise torque by
80 FT-LB. Do not exceed 740°C ITT or 101.6% Ng.
• Propeller RPM (Np) may be set as low as 1900 RPM to reduce cabin
noise. Do not exceed 1840 FT-LB of torque, 740°C ITT or 101.6% Ng. To
achieve optimum cruise performance, set Np at or above 2000 RPM.

• Balked Landing Climb Gradients shown represent the gain in altitude
for the horizontal distance traveled and is expressed as Feet per
Nautical Mile.
• For operation in air colder than provided in this table, use the coldest
charted data.
• This chart is required data for aircraft certification. However,
significantly better performance may be achieved by climbing at the
Best Rate of Climb speeds with the flaps positioned at 20° or following
the Go-Around/Balked Landing procedure outlined in "Section 4".

• Dashed entries correspond to outside air temperatures beyond the
aircraft operating limits.

NOTE: Blue numbers indicate performance with Air Conditioning ON,


black numbers indicate performance with Air Conditioning OFF.

Total Distance Over 50' Obstacle: 1551

NOTE:
• Utilize the "Short Field Landing" checklist in "Section 4" of this
manual.
• Decrease distances 10% for each 14 knots of headwind.

Performance
• For operation in tailwinds up to 10 knots, increase distances by 10%
for each 2 knots.
• For operation on a hard, dry, grass runway, increase distances by 40%
of the "ground roll" calculation.
• To land with flaps up, increase approach speed by 22 KIAS and allow
for approximately 55% longer distances.
• Maximum reverse thrust after touchdown will reduce ground roll by
approximately 5%.
• For sloped runways (up to a 3% slope), increase the distances by
27% of the ground roll distance for each 1% of downslope. Decrease
distances by 9% of the ground roll distance for each 1% of upslope.
• For operation in air colder than this table provides, use the coldest
data for landing distances.
• For operation in air warmer than this table provides, use extreme
caution.
• Dashed entries indicate atmospheric temperatures beyond the
aircraft operating limits.

NOTE: Red shaded areas represent data at temperatures greater than the
maximum approved operating OAT, but may be used for the purpose of
interpolating.

6-2 AIRPLANE WEIGHING PROCEDURES


PREPARATION
1. Remove all the snow, ice, or water from the airplane’s surfaces.
2. Inflate the tires to the recommended inflation pressures.
3. Drain all the fuel from the aircraft by locking open the fuel reservoir
and fuel tank sump quick drain valves. Drain the firewall fuel filter and
EPA cans.
4. Service the engine with oil to obtain a normal full indication, either
MAX HOT or MAX COLD, as appropriate, on the dipstick.
5. Move the pilot and copilot seats to their full forward position and the
passenger seats to their recommended locations, as outline in the Seat
Track Marking Example.
6. Raise the flaps to the fully retracted position.
7. Place all control surfaces in their neutral position.
8. Verify equipment installations and locations in comparison to the
equipment list.
LEVELING
(Reference the Airplane Weighing Form.)
1. Place the aircraft wheels on top of the weighing scales. The scales
should have a minimum capacity of 2000 pounds for the nose and
4000 pounds for each main wheel. The main landing gear must be
elevated approximately 2 ½ inches higher than the nose gear, with
small sheets of plywood placed beneath the scales. This initial elevated
position is to compensate for the difference in the waterline station
between the main and nose gear, and fine adjustments can be made
from this position by releasing air from the nose wheel tire.
2. Level longitudinally by placing a spirit level on the seat track, and
laterally by placing a spirit level perpendicular to (across) the seat
Weight‑Bal

tracks.
3. Deflate the nose tire to properly center the bubble in the spirit level.
WEIGHING
1. Weigh the airplane in a closed hangar to prevent errors caused by air
currents.
2. With the airplane level, doors closed, and the parking brake released,
record the weight shown on each scale. Deduct the tare weight, if any,
from each reading.

Section 6
100 S E R I E S WEIGHT & BALANCE
MEASURING
(Reference the Airplane Weighing Form.)
1. Obtain measurement “A” by measuring horizontally along the airplane
centerline, from the mid point of a line stretched between the centers
of the main wheels to a plum bob lowered from the forward side of the
firewall (FS 0.00). This measurement is dimension “A” and is normally
around 94 inches.
2. Obtain measurement “B” by measuring horizontally and parallel to the
airplane centerline from the center of the nose wheel axle, on the left
side, to the line stretched between the centers of the main wheels.
Repeat this process on the right side of the nose wheel axle and
average the two measurements. Subtract this averaged measurement
from dimension “A” to obtain the nose wheel weighing point arm.
This will be a negative number since the nose wheel is forward of the
firewall datum point.
3. Determine and record the moment for the main and nose gear
weighing points, using the following formula:
Moment = Net Weight x Arm
4. Calculate and record the as-weighed weight and moment by totaling
the appropriate columns.
5. Determine and record the as-weighed Center of Gravity in inches aft of
datum, using the following formula:
C. G. = Total Moment ÷Total Weight
6. To determine the Empty Weight C. G., add or subtract any items
not included in the as-weighed condition to determine the empty
condition. Application of the above C. G. formula with empty weight
and moment values will determine the Empty Weight C. G.
7. If the airplane was weighed with the oil drained add the (negative
number) correction for engine oil. Add the correction for unusable fuel
(34.0 LB at FS 83.4) to determine the Basic Empty Weight and Moment.
Calculate and record the Basic Empty Weight C. G. by applying the
above C. G. formula.
Weight‑Bal

8. Record the new weight and C. G. values on the Weight and Balance
Record.
9. The above procedure determines the airplane’s Basic Empty Weight,
Moment and Center of Gravity, expressed as inches aft of datum. The
Center of Gravity location can also be expressed as a percentage of the
airplane’s Mean Aerodynamic Cord (MAC), using the following formula:
C. G. (%MAC) = 100 x (C. G. Inches - LEMAC) ÷ MAC

• LEMAC = 54.8073
• MAC = 64.919

6-4 WEIGHT & BALANCE DETERMINATION FOR FLIGHT


It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to ensure the airplane is
properly loaded and operated within the prescribed weight and center
of gravity limits. The following information is provided to assist the pilot
in calculating the total weight and moment for the aircraft as it is loaded.
The calculated weight and moment is then compared to the Weight and
Moment Limits Chart or table to determine if the aircraft is loaded within
its operating limits.
CALCULATING WEIGHT AND BALANCE
(Reference the Weight and Balance Example Form.)
Airplane loading calculations are performed using the Weight and
Balance Loading Form, the Fuel Weight and Moments, and the Weight
and Moment Limits Chart.
1. Basic Empty Weight—Enter the current basic empty weight and
moment/1000 from the Weight and Balance Record.
2. Fuel Loading—Enter the weight and moment of the usable fuel
loaded in the aircraft from the Fuel Weight and Moments chart.

NOTE: The Electric Fuel Quantity Indicators provide advisory information


only, and fuel quantity must be verified by the pilot as part of the preflight
checks. The under-wing magnetic gauge provides accurate measurement
for fuel levels below 500 pounds. To measure fuel levels greater than
500 pounds, a qualified calibrated fuel pipette inserted through the
outboard filler port is one means of providing accurate indication of the
fuel onboard. For information on calibrated fuel pipettes, contact Quest
Aircraft Company. Refer to “Section 7” of this manual for further details.

3. Pilot and Front Seat Occupants—Enter the total weight and


moment/1000 for personnel occupying the front seats.
4. Aft Passenger Seat Occupants—Enter the individual weight and
moments/1000 for each occupied aft passenger seat.
Weight‑Bal

5. Baggage/Cargo—Enter the weight and moment/1000 for the


baggage and cargo.
6. Ramp Weight and Moment—Subtotal the weights and
moments/1000, acquired in steps 1 through 5, and insert the total on
Row 4 of the Weight and Balance Loading Form.
• S ubtotal the weight and moment/1000. These values represent the
ramp condition or the weight and moment of the aircraft prior to
taxi.
• T he ramp condition must not exceed the maximum ramp weight
of 7305 pounds and must remain with the C. G. limits established
in the Weight and Moment Limits Chart.
7. Fuel used for Start, Taxi, and Runup—This value is pre–entered on
the form. Normally, fuel used for start, taxi, and runup is approximately
50 pounds at an average moment/1000 of 4.2.

Section 6
100 S E R I E S WEIGHT & BALANCE
8. Takeoff Weight and Moment—To determine the takeoff condition
weight and moment/1000: subtract the weight and moment/1000 for
the fuel used for start, taxi, and runup, from the ramp condition values.
• T he total weight at takeoff must not exceed the maximum takeoff
weight of 6,750 pounds, unless aircraft is certified for increased
gross weight up to 7,255 pounds.
• T he total moment/1000 must not exceed the C. G. limits
established in the Weight and Moment Limits Chart.

NOTE: The original aircraft weight and balance from the factory is
determined with the equipment installed as ordered by the customer.
Refer to the “Installed Equipment List” (AM905.0) for the current
configuration of the aircraft. For each flight, the aircraft weight and
balance must be calculated using the number of seats and seat locations,
as installed for that particular flight. Refer to the “Passenger and Crew
Seat Weight and Balance” section for determining the passenger seat
center of gravity (arm) in calculating the aircraft weight and balance.

PASSENGER AND CREW SEAT WEIGHT AND BALANCE


The KODIAK® is equipped with removable passenger and crew seats. A
maintenance log book entry is not required when the seats are removed
or installed, but the aircraft weight and balance must be calculated to
reflect the seat configuration for each flight.

NOTE: Seats may only be installed within the limitations given in this
section. Crew seat rear stops must be installed in the location defined by
the configurations below. Failure to install the seat stop in the defined
location could result in seat positioning that does not meet the minimum
seat pitch requirements.

Section 7
100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
7–1 GENERAL
This section of the Pilot's Operating Handbook provides basic
descriptions and operational procedures for the standard airplane and its
systems. Optional equipment described within this section is identified as
either “optional” or “if equipped.”

NOTE: Some equipment, primarily avionics, may not be described in


this section. Descriptions and operation procedures for equipment not
provided in this section may be located in either "Section 9" of this
manual, the Garmin G1000® Pilot’s Guide for the Quest KODIAK®
100, or the Garmin G1000® Cockpit Reference Guide for the Quest
KODIAK® 100.

7–2 AIRFRAME

FUSELAGE
The KODIAK’s® semi-monocoque fuselage is constructed of aluminum
bulkheads, stringers, and skins. It is designed to be lightweight, rugged,
aerodynamically efficient, and capable of hauling nine (9) passengers
and/or cargo into remote locations. The fuselage contains forward and
aft carry-through spars, which provide connection fittings for the wings,
landing gear, and wing struts.

Doors and Windows


Entering and exiting the airplane is accomplished through crew entry
doors on each side of the forward fuselage at the pilot and front
passenger positions. A cargo door on the left side of the aft fuselage may
also be used for cabin entry.

Crew Entry Doors

CAUTION: Failure to properly close and latch the crew doors may cause them to
open in‑flight.

Both crew entry doors incorporate a conventional exterior door handle, a


key-operated door lock, a conventional interior door handle, lock override,
Systems

and a fixed window. The pilot window includes a storm window that may
be opened.
For operating instructions, see the placards affixed to the interior and
exterior of the crew doors, or reference the placards shown in "Section 2"
of this manual.
When the door handle is rotated forward to the LATCHED position, an
over-center condition holds it in that position. Both crew doors should be
in the LATCHED position prior to flight, and should not be intentionally
opened during flight, except as described in "Section 3" of this manual.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 7_7


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
® ®
Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

If it is necessary to lock the aircraft when leaving it unattended, both


crew doors must be locked from the outside of the airplane with the
conventional key locks.
Inflatable Crew Door Seals (If Equipped)
Both crew doors have an inflatable seal installed along the edge of the
door, as well as a separate, feathered door seal.
If cabin temperatures are above approximately -18°C (0°F), when the
master switch is ON and a crew door handle is moved to the CLOSED
position, the door seal inflates. The door seal remains inflated, until the
door handle is moved to the OPEN position even if the temperature
drops below -18°C (0°F).
When the door is closed and the seal is inflated, the seal reduces
infiltration of exterior noise into the cabin, keeps precipitation from
entering, and acts as a weather-stripping gasket to help maintain cabin
environmental control. Whether the master switch is ON or OFF, when
the crew door handle is moved to the OPEN position, the inflatable
seal deflates and no longer seals the crew door.

NOTE: If the inflatable seal is not in operation during flight, the feather
seal alone will not be as effective as the inflatable crew door seal at
keeping out noise, precipitation, and the external climate.

Cargo/Aft Passenger Door


A cargo/aft passenger door is installed on the left side of the airplane
just aft of the wing trailing edge. The door is a clamshell-type with stairs
built into the lower half for easy access to the passenger/cargo area. A
conventional handle is installed on the exterior of the door.
For operating instructions, see the placards affixed to the interior and
exterior of the cargo door, or reference the placards shown in "Section 2"
of this manual.
With the cargo door open, the support cables for the lower half of the
door can be removed from their holders to allow the door to fully open.
The large opening facilitates the loading of bulky cargo into the cabin.

CAUTION: When loading cargo into the aft cabin, the nose of the
Systems

airplane may rise, causing the cargo door to strike the ground. Use of a
tail-stand is recommended.

As a safety feature, the airplane is equipped with a cargo door warning


system. If the cargo/aft passenger door is not properly latched,
annunciation through the G1000® will alert the pilot of the situation.

Section 7
100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS

CAUTION: Failure to properly latch the cargo door will result in


illumination of the CARGO DOOR annunciation. This annunciation will
appear in amber if the aircraft is on the ground and in red if the aircraft is
airborne (as determined by GPS groundspeed). Ignoring the amber CARGO
DOOR annunciation on the ground may result in the cargo door coming
open in‑flight.

Cabin Windows
The airplane is equipped with a two-piece acrylic windshield reinforced
with a metal center strip.
The two crew door windows are constructed of shatter-resistant acrylic.
The pilot’s door contains a storm window, which can be opened.
The six aft cabin windows and cargo/aft passenger door windows are
constructed of shatter-resistant acrylic.

WINGS
The externally braced wing structure is constructed of aluminum front
and rear spars, ribs, doublers, and stringers. The wing cross section is a
blend of several high performance airfoils. In near stall conditions, the
outboard cross section of each wing has been designed with a lower angle
of incidence to improve roll control; it also incorporates a discontinuous
lead edge, which acts as a stall fence to help maintain aileron control. The
forward spar provides wing to fuselage and wing to strut attach fittings.
The aft spar provides a wing to fuselage attach fitting.
The wings contain integral fuel bays formed by the forward and aft spars,
upper and lower skins, and the inboard and outboard closeout ribs. Each
fuel bay provides a capacity of 160 gallons.
For additional information on fuel bays, see the Fuel System description
in this section.

EMPENNAGE
The empennage consists of a horizontal stabilizer, elevator, vertical tail,
and a rudder. All of the empennage components are of conventional
construction, containing aluminum spars, ribs, and skins. A dorsal fin
is attached to the forward spar of the vertical stabilizer and the upper
structure of the fuselage. The rudder is attached to the vertical stabilizer at
Systems

three hinge points. The elevator is constructed as two pieces, connected


with a torque tube and attached to the aft spar of the horizontal stabilizer
at seven hinge points.

VORTEX GENERATORS
Vortex Generators (VGs) improve flight control authority and lift at
lower airspeeds and higher angles of attack by delaying the onset of
aerodynamic stall. As a result, the maximum allowable gross weight of
an aircraft so equipped is increased. The fin-like VGs cause air to flow in
parallel rows of thin vortices as the air moves over the aircraft surface.
The vortices control and energize the boundary layer of air flowing over
the surface, so that the air flow does not separate as it moves over the aft
portion of the surface. The boundary layer is defined as the lower energy
layer of air that is adjacent to the aircraft surface.
VGs may be installed across the upper portion of each wing, the flaps, or
the horizontal stabilizers. It is possible for VGs to be damaged or removed
while fueling, by icing conditions, or by other FOD events. It is acceptable
to have up to one missing VG on each airfoil surface: left wing, right wing,
left flap, right flap, left horizontal stabilizer, right horizontal stabilizer.
Missing VGs should be replaced at the next scheduled maintenance
interval.

STATIC DISCHARGERS
To improve radio communications during IFR flights through dust or
various forms of precipitation, wick-type static dischargers are installed.
Under these conditions, the build-up and discharge of static electricity
from the trailing edges of wings, rudder, elevator, propeller tips and radio
antennas may result in interrupted radio signals for all communication and
navigation radio equipment.
The static dischargers are installed to reduce interference from
precipitation static, but it is possible to encounter severe precipitation
static conditions, which might cause the loss of radio signals even with
the static wicks installed. Whenever possible, avoid areas of known severe
precipitation to prevent the loss of adequate radio signals. If avoidance
is not practical, a reduction of airspeed should help reduce the degree of
precipitation static, but expect some degradation of radio performance.

7–3 FLIGHT CONTROLS


The KODIAK® uses conventional flight controls for the ailerons, rudder, and
elevator. The control surfaces are pilot actuated through input from either
of the two conventional control yokes, located directly forward of each
crew seat. The control system uses a combination of push-rods, cables,
sectors, and bell cranks to control the surfaces.
Systems

Roll, pitch, and yaw trim are available through controls mounted on the
Control Pedestal, and on the left and right control yokes. Manual elevator
trim is available through a trim wheel located on the left side of the
Control Pedestal. Electric elevator trim is operated by a switch located
on the left side of the left (pilot’s) control yoke. Electric rudder and aileron
trim are operated by switches located on the control pedestal.

Figure 7-1:  Control Yoke Configurations

ELEVATOR SYSTEM
The two-piece elevator provides pitch control for the aircraft. The elevator
is of conventional aluminum construction with skins, a spar, and ribs. Each
elevator is attached to the aft spar of the horizontal stabilizer at three
hinge points and to the aft fuselage with the elevator control bell crank.
Elevator motion is generated through the control yokes by sliding the
yoke tubes forward or aft. A push–pull linkage is connected to a cable
sector, from which cables are routed through a series of pulleys to a sector
located in the tail‑cone. The tail‑cone sector actuates a push–pull rod,
which is attached to the elevator sector and the bell crank on the elevator
torque-tube.

AILERON SYSTEM
The ailerons provide roll control for the airplane. The ailerons are of
conventional aluminum construction consisting of skins, spars,and ribs.
Each aileron is attached to the aft spar of the wing at two hinge points.
The left and right control columns contain control yokes, control tubes,
bearings, and sprockets. An interconnect cable attaches the left and right
control yokes. The aileron cable is divided into two loops: the low tension
loop and the high tension loop.
The low tension loop, located in the fuselage, is routed via a series of
pulleys from the left control yoke, under the floorboards, and up the left
sidewall to a loop connecting bracket in the cabin overhead. The loop
then runs from the bracket across the cabin to a second loop connecting
bracket, to the right sidewall, down the sidewall, under the floorboards,
Systems

and back to the left sprocket.


The high tension loop is located in the upper portion of the cabin and the
left and right wings. It interconnects the loop connecting brackets in the
cabin top with the left and right aileron sectors installed in the wings. Push
rods connect the wing aileron sectors to the ailerons, providing actuation.

Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

RUDDER SYSTEM
The rudder provides yaw control for the airplane. The rudder is of
conventional aluminum construction consisting of skins, a spar, and ribs.
The rudder is attached to the aft spar of the vertical stabilizer at three
hinge points, one attach point being the rudder sector.
Rudder motion is transferred from the pilot and copilot rudder pedals,
which are connected to each other by a pair of torque tubes. A forward
sector is connected to the rudder pedal torque tubes via two push rods.
The rudder cables are routed from the forward sector under the floorboard
via a series of pulleys to a second rudder sector mounted aft of the vertical
stabilizer. Depressing the left or right rudder pedal deflects the rudder in
the corresponding direction. For additional information, see the Ground
Operations description in this section.

CONTROL LOCK
To prevent damage to the ailerons, elevator, and rudder systems caused
by wind buffeting while the airplane is parked, a control lock is provided
to lock the ailerons, elevator, and rudder in place. The lock consists of a
steel pin, which is inserted through holes in the control tube and a locking
mechanism for the rudder pedals. The steel pin has a flag that identifies
it as a control lock and provides a warning statement for removal prior to
starting the engine.
To install the control lock, align the hole in the upper portion of the pilot’s
control yoke shaft with the hole in the shaft collar on the instrument
panel, and then insert the rod into the aligned holes. Installation of the
lock will secure the ailerons in their neutral position and the elevators in
a partial trailing edge down position. Proper installation of the lock will
place the flag directly in front of the pilot’s view of the instrument panel.
To install the rudder gust lock, position the pedal sleeves over the top of
the rudder pedals and then lock the floor anchor into the anchor point.

WING FLAPS
The electrically controlled slotted fowler flaps enhance the low speed lift
characteristics of the airplane. Each flap is connected to the wing structure
at three flap track assemblies. Each flap track assembly contains two
grooves in which the flap rollers operate. The flaps may be positioned at
0°, 10°, 20°, and 35° by selecting the desired position on the wing flap
selector.
Systems

As the flap position switch is placed in a given position, sensors in the


flap power system provide input to the gearbox/controller. The gearbox/
controller drives flexible shafts, which actuate worm gear assemblies and
position the flaps as selected in the cockpit.
One flap position sensor is installed per each flap assembly to ensure flap
symmetry. If a malfunction occurs within the flap or between the two
flaps, the gearbox/controller will immediately discontinue flap movement.
Flap position indication is provided on the multifunction display.

TRIM SYSTEMS
Aileron, elevator, and rudder trim systems are provided as standard
equipment and the current calibrated position is displayed on the G1000®.
As with any electric trim system, a trim disconnect (ON/Disconnect or
PUSH–to–Disconnect) switch is provided for disabling all trim systems on
the aircraft (including the automatic trim system and autopilot).
If a trim runaway condition occurs, move (or push) the trim disconnect
switch to the DISCONNECT position (aft). The airplane may then only be
trimmed in the pitch direction using the manual trim wheel located on the
Control Pedestal.
If equipped with S-TEC 55X Autopilot, a trim disconnect switch is located
on both yokes. If either switch is in the disconnect position, the trim/
automatic trim systems will not function.

Aileron Trim
Aileron trim is accomplished by an electrically operated aileron trim tab
installed on the left aileron. Dual (split) aileron trim switches are installed
on the upper surface of the control pedestal. When both switches are
depressed simultaneously to the right, the right wing will be trimmed
down; conversely, depressing the trim switches to the left will trim the
left wing down. To provide additional redundancy in preventing a trim
runaway, a 1–second timer is incorporated, which limits continuous
operation of the aileron trim system to one (1) second. If more than one
(1) second’s worth of trim is needed, cycle the switches OFF and ON as
necessary.

Elevator Trim
Elevator trim is accomplished through two elevator trim tabs by operating
the vertically–mounted elevator trim control wheel on the upper left side
of the control pedestal. Forward rotation of the trim wheel will result in
trimming towards a nose–down attitude. Aft rotation of the trim wheel
will result in trimming the airplane towards a nose–up attitude. The
airplane is also equipped with an electric elevator trim system. The electric
elevator trim is controlled by a dual switch installed on the left side of the
left (pilot’s) control yoke. The purpose of the dual switch is to lessen the
chances of a trim runaway condition. Both halves of the switch must be
pressed in order to activate the trim.

Rudder Trim
Systems

Rudder trim is accomplished through the nose wheel steering bungee


spring connected to the rudder control system, an electric bungee
adjuster assembly, and a rudder trim switch installed on the aft face of
the Control Pedestal. The rudder trim switch may be pressed either left
or right to achieve the desired yaw trim position. Pressing the rudder trim
switch to the right, will trim the nose to the right; pressing it to the left, will
trim the nose to the left. The KODIAK® incorporates design features that
reduce the need for rudder trim during climbs and descents.

Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

Automatic Trim System


To compensate for pitch trim changes when varying flap position, an
automatic trim system is provided. The automatic trim system consists of a
pitch trim servo, either a squat switch or an airspeed pressure switch, and
the current pitch trim and flap position from potentiometers.
On airplanes equipped with the S-TEC 55X Autopilot, a stand-alone unit
for pitch trim compensation is provided. For airplanes equipped with
the GFC 700 Autopilot, the logic for pitch trim compensation is built into
the G1000® system. This system automatically engages the electric pitch
trim servo in the appropriate direction when the flaps are in transit. For
example, when the flaps are transitioning from 20° to 10°, nose-up trim
is applied automatically. Also, when the flaps are transitioning in the
opposite direction, 10° to 20°, nose-down trim is automatically applied.
The automatic trim system is active when the flaps are in transit between
5° and 35°.

CAUTION: On aircraft equipped with the GFC 700 Autopilot, the manual
Electric Pitch Trim Switch and the Flap Configuration Trim feature will not
operate when the Avionics switch is OFF.

The automatic trim system may be overridden by manual electrical inputs


of pitch trim in the opposite direction of the automatic trim. For example,
if the automatic trim system is trimming the aircraft nose–down, and the
pilot selects nose–up trim with the electric trim switch on the control
yoke, the servo will operate in the nose–up direction and will override the
automatic trim system. The automatic trim system may also be manually
overridden by grasping the trim wheel by hand.
The automatic trim system is disabled any time the autopilot system is
engaged, to prevent the two systems from interfering with each other. The
autopilot has its own automatic trim system to compensate for pitch trim
changes with varying flap settings. The automatic trim system references
flap position through the flap position indicator signal coming from the
flap gearbox/controller. The flap position indicator signal is a variable
voltage signal, which varies from approximately 0.0-3.5 volts. Zero volts
represents a flap position of 0° and 3.5 volts represents 35° of flaps.
The automatic trim system is disabled on the ground through either a
squat switch or an airspeed switch to prevent accidental placing of the
aircraft in an out-of-trim condition before takeoff, i.e., the pilot sets the
pitch trim for takeoff, then selects the flaps to takeoff position (20°) and
the auto trim system runs the pitch trim nose–down. If equipped, the
Systems

airspeed switch activates the automatic trim system at approximately 35


knots.
The automatic trim system operates the elevator trim tab through a range
of 7° nose–up trim to full nose–down trim tab deflection (15°). The aircraft
does not require any trim compensation with varying flap position beyond
this range of elevator trim tab travel.

Attitude Indicator (If Equipped)


A backup electric powered attitude indicator is located in the center
of the standby instrument cluster located on the left side of the
pilot-side instrument panel. In the event aircraft electrical power
is lost, the indicator will switch to a dedicated backup power source
(rechargeable sealed lead acid battery) mounted on the rear of the
instrument to permit continued operation of the indicator. If aircraft
electrical power is lost, the attitude indicator will automatically
operate on battery power with the amber status LED flashing rapidly,
indicating a Power Loss Warning. With no further action from the pilot,
the unit will turn OFF automatically (Gyro Warning Flag in view) after
approximately one minute. This is to prevent battery discharge at the
end of a flight when the master power switch is placed in the OFF
position.
Systems

When the instrument switches to Power Loss Warning, the amber LED
flashes for approximately one minute. This is intended to attract the
pilot’s attention and indicate that there has been a loss of primary
face of the instrument will allow the unit to continue operating on
the standby battery until battery power is exhausted. A full capacity
standby battery will power the instrument for approximately one (1)
hour, depending on conditions.
Any time aircraft power is absent, with the unit in either Power Loss

The standby attitude indicator contains a symbolic airplane
adjustment knob. The symbolic airplane adjustment knob may be
used to manually position the symbolic airplane in the pitch direction.
This feature enables the pilot to align the symbolic airplane with the
horizon for ease of use.
The standby attitude indicator also contains a caging knob which,
when pulled, manually erects the gyro vertical to the case orientation.
The indicator is equipped with a red Gyro Warning Flag which will
come into view if loss of operating voltage should occur.
The control panel on the front of the instrument incorporates a manual
test feature. This test feature places the dedicated battery under load
for approximately one minute while displaying either a red or green
light under the word TEST on the front panel.
Initiating the Standby Battery Test
1. T urn the indicator ON with aircraft power and allow the unit to
spin up for a minimum of three (3) minutes.
2. P
 ress and hold the STBY PWR button. After several seconds, the
amber LED will start flashing, indicating the unit has entered into
Battery Test Mode. The test runs for approximately one minute,
during which time the amber LED flashes continuously and either
a red or green light is displayed under the word TEST.
3. V
 isually monitor the test lights until the amber LED stops flashing,
signaling the end of the test.
4. A
 green light throughout the test indicates the standby battery
pack is healthy and should be able to function normally. A red light
at any time during the test means that the standby battery is in
need of charging, and possibly replacement.

NOTE: A green light throughout this short test does not guarantee that a
full hour of operation time is available. Actual battery operation time may
vary considerably depending on temperature, charge status, and battery
condition.

and Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance TAWS annunciations.

Angle of Attack Indexer (If Equipped)


The Angle of Attack (AoA) Indexer is mounted on top of the glare‑shield
near the center windshield post. The AoA Indexer receives power and
signal input from the stall warning computer and provides a visual
indication of low airspeed (amber or red LEDs at the top of the AoA
Indexer display) for increased situational awareness. It also provides a
visual verification of being ON‑Speed (a cluster of five green LEDs) for
approach to landing. See Figure 7-5a: AoA Indexer.
The AoA Indexer automatically powers on when the Master Switch
is placed in the ON position and performs a self-test. When power is
supplied, all lights should initially illuminate, then display one or more LED
lights. Failure of the self-test is indicated by no illuminated lights on the
indexer.
For brightness control, the AoA Indexer display is automatically dimmed
when the navigation lights are placed in the ON position. Normal and dim
modes are also manually available by pressing and holding the bottom
button on the right side of the AoA Indexer.
As a target airspeed reference point, the reference marker may be moved
up or down by tapping the Top button to move the marker up or the
Bottom button to move the marker down. The AoA Indexer will place the
reference mark at the center "On-Speed" position upon power‑up. It is
recommended to leave the reference mark at the center position so that
the pilot has a consistent point of reference.
The AoA Indexer is protected by the stall warning system circuit breaker
labeled STALL WARN.

Emergency Locator Transmitter


The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is an Artex ELT automatic fixed
beacon. It is independently powered by a lithium battery pack that is
capable of at least 50 hours of continuous operation.
The ELT unit is installed in the tail of the aircraft, aft of the oxygen tank,
on the left sidewall. The ELT antenna is located on top of the fuselage, on
the copilot’s side, just forward of the vertical tail. The device can be set
to either “ARM” (normal ready mode), or ON (activated mode), using the
mode switch positioned on the lower center instrument panel beneath
the MFD or by utilizing the main switch attached to the ELT unit.
When in “ARM” mode, the ELT will automatically activate in the event of a
crash. An uninterrupted standard sweep tone will transmit at 121.5 MHz
for a minimum of 50 hours and will continue until the batteries are
exhausted. In approximately 50 second intervals, a 406 MHz transmitter
will turn ON and broadcast an encoded signal. The 406 MHz transmitter
will function in this mode for 24 hours before automatically terminating.
Upon recognition of the 406 MHz signal by the SAR satellite system, a
position will be determined and the 121.5 MHz signal will be used to
locate the crash site.
In the event the ELT does not automatically activate, it may be manually
activated by placing either the mode switch (on the cockpit instrument
panel) or the ELT main switch in the ON position. If the ELT is activated
accidentally, reset it by moving either the mode switch or the main ELT
switch to the ON position, and then moving it back to the “ARM” position.

NOTE: For aircraft equipped with the model C406-N Emergency Locator
Transmitter, the ELT simultaneously transmits an uninterrupted standard
sweep tone at both 121.5 and 243.0 MHz for a minimum of 50 hours and
continues until the batteries are exhausted. In addition, at approximately
50 second intervals, a 406 MHz transmitter turns ON and broadcasts an
encoded signal. The 406 MHz transmitter functions in this mode for 24
hours before automatically terminating.

NOTE: The ELT cannot be reset if either the mode switch on the cockpit
instrument panel or the ELT main switch is in the ON position.

NOTE: The ELT cannot be disarmed or disabled using the cockpit


Systems

instrument panel mode switch. The mode switch is restricted to activating


and resetting the ELT.

NOTE: The ELT’s internal firmware keeps a continuous tally of the beacon’s
run time, writing the data to a memory IC located in the battery pack. Per
FAA regulations, any ELT battery that has accumulated an hour or more of
operational time must be replaced.

COOLING FANS
An avionics cooling fan system is installed in the airplane to supply cooling
air to the avionics equipment. This supply of cooling air prolongs the life
of the avionics equipment and prevents overheating in certain conditions.
One cooling fan is turned ON when the Master Switch is turned ON to
cool PFD #1 and the LRUs that are powered at the same time. A Separate
cooling fan is turned ON when the Avionics switch is turned ON to cool
the additional LRUs, the MFD, and PFD #2. The avionics cooling fans are
protected by separate one (1) amp fuses located within the main wiring-
harness. If the avionics cooling fans should malfunction or any of the
equipment becomes too hot, an alert will be displayed on the G1000®.
For additional information on alerts, refer to the appropriate Garmin
G1000® Cockpit Reference Guide for the Quest KODIAK® 100.

MICROPHONE/SPEAKER AND HEADSET JACKS


Primarily, radio communications are accomplished with a headset
and microphone plugged into the headset jacks on the left side of the
instrument panel for the pilot and the right side of the instrument panel
for the copilot/front passenger. Headset jacks are also provided for each
passenger seat.
Headset jacks are available in two configurations:
• Two standard jacks, non-powered, for a headphone and
microphone assembly unit
• Single six-pin, powered, headset jack
The powered headset jack is powered when the Avionics Bus Switch
is moved to the ON position. In the event of a power failure, headsets
connected to the powered jack lose their noise-canceling capability. All
other headset features remain operational with power loss. The powered
headset jack is protected by a circuit breaker labeled NOISE CNCL HS.
Radio communications may be performed, using a microphone that
plugs into a microphone jack and stows on a hanger located on the left
side of the Control Pedestal. When the button on the control pedestal
microphone is keyed, all headset microphones on the same COM line
become muted. The corresponding airplane speakers are located above
the crew seats in the overhead panel.

7–6 GROUND OPERATION
Steering control while taxiing is accomplished through nose wheel
steering by using the rudder pedals. The left rudder pedal is pressed to
steer left and the right rudder pedal is pressed to steer right. When a
rudder pedal is depressed, a spring-loaded steering bungee (which is
connected to the nose wheel steering bell crank and rudder torque tubes)
will turn the nose wheel through an arc of approximately 17.5 degrees
each side of center. By applying either the left or right brake, the degree of
turn may be increased up to approximately 55 degrees each side of center.

Figure 7-7:  Nose Wheel Steering System

Moving the airplane by hand is most easily accomplished by attaching a


tow bar to the nose gear tow pins. If a tow bar is not available, or pushing
is required, use the wing struts as push locations. Do not use the propeller
blades or spinner to push or pull the airplane. If the airplane is to be towed
by a vehicle, use caution to avoid exceeding the turning limits marked on
the nose gear shock strut.
Systems

7–7 LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


The landing gear is a tricycle type with a steerable nose wheel and two
main wheels. Shock absorption is provided through the tubular spring
steel main landing gear struts with two interconnecting steel cross tubes
and an air and oil-filled nose gear shock strut. The landing gear system
is designed for operations from unimproved runways. To improve the
operation from unimproved runways, optional oversize tires may be
installed. This option provides greater propeller ground clearance and a
wider footprint for better performance on soft surfaces.

7–8 BAGGAGE/CARGO COMPARTMENT


Three main areas are provided for the storage of cargo within the airplane.
Two Integrated Storage Boxes (if equipped) located one on each side of
the instrument panel, the raised baggage area aft of the cargo door to
the aft cabin bulkhead, and the cabin when seats have been removed.

WARNING: Any material that could possibly be hazardous to the airplane


or its occupants should not be placed anywhere in the airplane.

INTEGRATED STORAGE BOX (IF EQUIPPED)


An Integrated Storage Box is located on each side of the instrument panel.
Do not store anything in these compartments that can affect the airplane's
magnetic instrumentation. The hinged door panels are push-to-open and
push-to-close. The hinged door panels shall be securely closed prior to
takeoff and landing.

BAGGAGE AREA
In the passenger configuration, the space normally used for carrying
baggage is the raised area aft of the cargo door to the aft cabin bulkhead.
Access to the baggage area is gained through the cargo door or from
within the cabin. Quick-release cargo tie-down straps and a cargo net may
be used for securing baggage and are attached to the anchor points. Refer
to "Section 6" of this manual for loading limits and "Section 1" of this
manual for dimensions.

CABIN LOADING CONFIGURATIONS


With the exception of the cockpit, each of the six loading zones is
equipped with tie-down points, just behind the forward edge of the zone.
The sixth zone also has tie-down points at the rear of the zone, in the aft
cabin bulkhead. These tie-down points, along with the seat tracks in the
floor, allow the operator to fasten straps to the interior of the fuselage.
Refer to "Section 6" of this manual for information on cargo loading
zones.

Acceptable Loading Configurations


The acceptable loading configurations for the KODIAK® were established
Systems

to provide occupant safety in‑flight and to permit simultaneous


emergency exiting through both sides of the plane, either through the
two crew doors or the right side crew door and the cargo door. The
illustrations below represent different loading scenarios by showing an
overhead view of the fuselage, with grey areas representing areas where
cargo is loaded.

100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS

WARNING: There may be configurations that are geometrically possible


and allowed as shown in the following illustrations, but care must be
taken to also observe the loading rules regarding strap and tie-down use.
It is likely that the availability of tie-down points will limit the cargo to be
carried—particularly for heavy loads that span multiple zones.

The rear zone (Zone 6) may be used for cargo with any seating
configuration. The KODIAK® 100 TC has no allowance for seats on the aft
cargo step.
1. When the aircraft is loaded with a combination of cargo and
passengers, as illustrated in the figure below, seats must be removed
beginning at the rear of the cabin to make room for cargo. There must
be at least eight (8") inches of clearance between cargo and the back of
seats.

Figure 7-8:  Placement of Cargo Aft of Passengers

2. Placement of cargo alongside passengers is acceptable as long as a


12 inch aisle is left for passengers to exit to the crew doors. This general
configuration is illustrated below.

Using a Strap to Secure Cargo


There must be one dedicated strap for every:
• 100 lb of cargo: to restrain the cargo from shifting forward.
• 800 lb of cargo: to restrain the cargo from shifting upward.
• 1000 lb of cargo: to restrain the cargo from sideward shifting.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 7_31


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
® ®
Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

For example, an article of cargo that weighs 800 pounds will require: Eight
(8) straps restraining forward movement, One (1) strap restraining upward
movement, and Two (2) straps restraining sideward movement (one (1)
in each direction), for a total of 11 straps. The method of calculating the
number of straps required is shown in the following equations:

Loading Cargo
When loading cargo, take care to protect the aluminum seat tracks. An
appropriate protective covering, such as wood planks or cardboard, may
need to be placed over the seat tracks when loading or unloading cargo
from the rear of the cabin, to prevent damage from occurring.
Tie-Down Points
The ratings for the tie-down points in the fuselage of the KODIAK® are
provided in the table below:

Tie-Down Location and Type Rating (Pounds)


Ceiling 75
Floor, Zone 6 75
Walls 100
Floor, Single Lug 100

Table 7–1:  KODIAK® Tie-Down Point Ratings


The number of tie-down points required for the previous example of an
800 pound article of cargo (see previous Section Using a Strap to Secure
Cargo) will depend upon which tie-down points are used. If the minimum
of 13 straps are used and two (2) tie-down points are utilized for each
strap for a total of 26 tie-down points, the operator will need to ensure
that the capacity of the tie-down points sum to at least 800 pounds as
shown in the equation below. The equation calculates the total capacity
Systems

of the 26 tie-down points, assuming the use of 10 wall tie-down points,


16 floor tie‑down points, and the individual ratings taken from the table
above.
(10 ea Wall) X (100 LB) + (16 ea Floor) X (100 LB) = 2,600 LB => Adequate Tie-Down Points

General Rules for Securing Cargo


There are several rules in place to protect the occupants from free or
shifting cargo during all phases of ground and flight operations. While
operating according to the previous guidelines, the operator will be

Section 7
100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
required to abide by the following rules when securing cargo in the
aircraft.

WARNING: These rules are intended to ensure safe transport of


passengers and cargo, while maintaining flexibility in configuring the
interior for travel. The loading rules presented here prohibit configurations
of cargo and passengers that could be dangerous. If a particular
combination of cargo weight and configuration does not satisfy all of the
loading rules presented here, it may not be carried in the KODIAK® 100.

• Cargo must be firmly immobilized in all directions and secured by


straps and tie-down points of adequate strength.
• The number of tie-down points must be selected so that the sum of
their capacity is equal to, or greater than, the weight of the article of
cargo.
• Loads must be secured in a “down and back” manner
(see Figure 7‑12: Securing Stacked Cargo).
• Straps must be attached and secured in a manner that prevents them
from becoming unfastened, opened, or released unintentionally.
• Multiple straps securing common cargo must all be securely
tightened to the same tension to ensure the load is carried by all
straps. When tightening multiple straps, care must be taken to ensure
that tightening one strap (or set of straps) does not loosen another
strap (or set).
• If multiple straps are used to restrain an article of cargo in a particular
direction, the straps shall be spaced evenly about the center of gravity
of the cargo.
• Only one strap may be attached to each cargo tie-down fitting.
• Fittings installed in the seat tracks must be spaced at least eight
inches (8”) apart.
• There must be at least four inches (4”) of clearance between the sides
of the fuselage (or windows) and articles of cargo.
• There must be at least eight inches (8”) of clearance between cargo
and seat backs.
• Cargo spanning more than one zone may have a total weight of the
added zones, but care must be taken to ensure that the maximum
zone ratings are not violated in any individual zone.
• Items that are difficult to bundle or stack with other cargo must be
Systems

secured separately using adequate straps and tie-down points.


• All equipment used to secure cargo must be in proper condition to
perform its function, with no damage or weakened components that
could adversely affect its performance.

AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

Using Wall and Ceiling Tie-Downs to Secure Cargo


The walls and ceiling of the fuselage are less capable of restraining cargo
than the seat tracks, and therefore require the following considerations:
• When securing cargo to prevent upward movement, the cargo must
be positioned so that the straps create an angle of at least 45° with
the floor (viewed from front or rear), when using tied-down points in
the walls of the fuselage. This is illustrated in
Figure 7‑13: Upward Restraint with Straps.

• When securing cargo to prevent forward movement, the cargo must
be positioned so that the straps create an angle of at least 45° with
the leading edge of the cargo (when viewed from above), when
using tie-down points in the walls of the fuselage. This is illustrated
in Figure 7‑14: Forward Restraint with Straps. The exception is
when two straps are used together to prevent forward movement
and pass over the top of the cargo as well as in front of the cargo. See
Figure 7‑15: Combination Forward and Upward Restraint.

Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

Using a Net to Secure Cargo


If a cargo net is used, tie it securely to itself along the front and sides so
that cargo cannot escape from under the net. While the net bundles the
load together, straps shall be added in accordance with the total weight of
the cargo, following the previous rules.
Do not fasten cargo nets to tie-downs or seat tracks under or at the rear
of seats. This would give minimal protection for the occupants if the strap
stretches during flight. The net should be pulled under the cargo and tied
back—pulling the load away from the seats with at least eight inches (8")
between the cargo and the back of a seat.
While it is permissible for straps to be weaved into nets (to prevent the
net from sliding under the strap), each end of a strap that is being used to
secure the load must be fastened to tie-down points in the aircraft.

Cargo Alongside Occupants


When it is necessary to have cargo alongside an occupant, it must be
secured away from the occupant, as well as down and back.
When the pilot is the only occupant, and the copilot seat has been
removed to carry cargo, the cargo must be at least six inches (6") in any
direction from the copilot flight controls, when in their most aft position
(including rudder pedals), and must not be higher than the door handle.

reel assemblies attach to the upper portion of the forward carry-through


spar. The inertia reels are equipped with levers mounted overhead of the
pilot and front passenger seats to lock the reels and prevent any upper
body movement whatsoever. Pushing the inertia reel lever to the forward
position, locks the inertia reel. Placing the inertia reel lever in its full aft
position, unlocks the inertia reel and allows freedom of movement of the
upper body except in the event of sudden deceleration, in which case,
the inertia reel will automatically engage and prevent movement. The
inertia reel levers must be placed in the locked position prior to takeoff or
landing.

Tools Required to Remove the Passenger and Crew Seats


The passenger and crew seats can be removed using the following tool(s):
1. Standard Flat head Screw Driver (Passenger Seats)
2. Standard Phillips Head Screw Driver (Crew Seats)

Seat Tracks—Locating Seats


If equipped, seat tracks are marked with station identification markings
every 10 inches, starting at FS (Fuselage Station) 50.0. These markings will
assist the operator in quickly installing seats.
Refer to the following example of how to properly install a seat.
Example: To install a set in Row 3 (FS 115.0), locate fuselage station
marking FS 110.0 and count five (5) seat track notches AFT. Insert the seat

7–10 CABIN FEATURES

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
A portable fire extinguisher is installed in each crew door, then either
the aft bulkhead or just aft of the cargo door. The crew fire extinguishers
are readily accessible to the crew in case of a fire and the aft fire
extinguisher may be used by aft passengers or another crew member.
The extinguishers should be checked periodically to ensure their bottle
pressure is within limits and the operating lever lock pin is in place and
secure.
To operate the fire extinguisher:
1. Loosen the retaining clamp/clamps and remove the extinguisher from
the mounting bracket.
2. Hold the extinguisher upright, pull the lock pin, and press the lever
while directing the discharge at the base of the fire near the edge.
Sweep the discharge back and forth across the edge of the fire,
progressing to the back of the fire as it extinguishes.
3. Use caution as to not direct the initial discharge directly at the burning
material at close range (less than 5-8 feet). The high velocity of the
extinguishing agent may cause splashing and/or scattering of the
burning material.
4. Discharge duration of approximately ten seconds may be expected for
each of the crew extinguishers and the aft bulkhead extinguisher.

WARNING: Promptly ventilate the cabin with fresh air and open the storm
window after successfully extinguishing the fire, to reduce inhalation of
toxic by-products.

NOTE: Fire extinguishers should be recharged by a qualified fire


extinguisher agency after each use. After recharging the extinguisher,
secure it to the mounting bracket. Do not allow the fire extinguisher to lie
loose on the floor or seats.

USB PORTS (IF EQUIPPED)


Two USB ports are installed in the cockpit on the aft side of the pedestal
to supply power to external devices (iPads, tablets, etc.) that support
Systems

charging via USB.


Four USB ports are available for passenger use in the cabin. They are
located at Fuselage Station 108 near the headset jacks.
Power is provided through the “Cabin Lights” circuit breaker. The
charging ports are limited to use during cruise only.
The USB ports have several protective features built in that can affect use.
If the aircraft voltage supplied to the ports is reduced significantly or if a
high amount of current is supplied, the ports will stop working until the
voltage or current returns to proper levels. The rate at which the external

devices are being charged by the ports can decrease if the temperature of
the ports becomes elevated. Once the temperature of the ports reduces to
normal limits, the rate of charge will return to normal.

ENTERTAINMENT/AUDIO OUTPUT (IF EQUIPPED)


A mini-audio jack is installed in the cockpit on the aft side of the Control
Pedestal to allow use of external devices to provide audio entertainment
or pre-recorded messages over the headsets and speakers throughout the
aircraft. Any audio being played through this jack will be automatically
muted for the pilots when avionics annunciations are sounded or the
COMs are being used.

7–11 ENGINE
The Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 power plant is a lightweight, reverse
flow, free power turbine engine. It utilizes two independent turbines; one
turbine drives the compressor in the gas generator section and the second
drives the propeller through a reduction gearbox.
Inlet air enters near the rear of the engine through an annular plenum
chamber formed by the compressor inlet case where it is directed to
the compressor section. The compressor consists of three axial stages
and a single centrifugal stage, all assembled as an integral unit. A row of
stator vanes, located between each stage of compression, diffuses the air,
raises its static pressure and directs it to the next stage of compression.
The compressed air passes through the diffuser tubes, which turn the
air through ninety degrees in direction and converts velocity to static
pressure. The resultant compression ratio of the engine is 7:1.
The diffused air then passes through straightening vanes to the annulus
surrounding the combustion chamber liner. The combustion chamber
liner consists of an annular weldment that has perforations of various
sizes, allowing entry of compressor delivery air. The flow of air changes
direction 180 degrees as it enters and mixes with fuel. The fuel/air mixture
is ignited and the resultant expanding gases are directed to the turbines.
The location of the liner eliminates the need for a long shaft between the
compressor and the compressor turbine, thus reducing the overall length
and weight of the engine.
Fuel is supplied through a dual manifold, consisting of primary and
secondary transfer tubes and adapters. It is injected into the combustion
chamber liner through primary and secondary simplex nozzles for ease
of starting. The fuel/air mixture is initially ignited, during start, by two
Systems

spark igniters, which protrude into the liner. The resultant gases expand
from the liner, reverse direction in the exit duct zone and pass through
the compressor turbine inlet guide vanes to the compressor turbine. The
guide vanes ensure that the expanding gases impinge on the turbine
blades at the correct angle, with minimum loss of energy. The still-
expanding gases are then directed forward to drive the power turbine.
The compressor and power turbines are located in the approximate center
of the engine with their respective shafts extending in opposite directions.
This feature provides for simplified installation and inspection procedures.
The exhaust gas from the power turbine is directed through an annular

AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

exhaust plenum to the atmosphere via twin opposed exhaust ports


provided in the exhaust duct.
The accessory gearbox located at the rear of the engine is driven by
the compressor turbine with a coupling shaft, which extends from the
compressor section through a conical tube in the center of the oil tank.
Inter-Turbine Temperature (ITT) is monitored by a cold junction
thermocouple system comprising a bus-bar, probes, and harness
assembly, installed between the compressor and power turbines, with the
probes projecting into the gas path. A terminal block mounted in the gas
generator case provides a connection point to cockpit instrumentation
and to an ITT trim thermocouple mounted externally in the air inlet zone.
The power turbine drives the propeller shaft through a two-stage
planetary reduction gearbox on the front of the engine. The gearbox
incorporates an integral torquemeter device, which provides an accurate
indication of the engine power output to the cockpit.
The engine is self-sufficient since its gas generator driven oil system
provides lubrication for all areas of the engine, pressure for the
torquemeter, and power for propeller pitch control. The engine oil supply
is contained in an integral tank which forms part of the compressor inlet
case. The integral tank has a capacity of 9.2 US quarts (6.0 US quarts
usable) and is equipped with a dipstick/filler cap and drain plug.

NOTE: Refer to "Section 1" for total installed lubrication system oil
capacity.

The engine is rated at 750 shaft horsepower for takeoff and maximum
continuous emergency power (1790 FT-LB of torque at 2200 RPM, varying
linearly to 1970 FT-LB of torque at 2000 RPM; below 2000 RPM, the
maximum takeoff/emergency power torque setting remains constant at
1970 FT-LB).
The engine is rated at 700 shaft horsepower for maximum climb and
maximum cruise (1670 FT-LB of torque at 2200 RPM, varying linearly to
1840 FT-LB of torque at 2000 RPM; below 2000 RPM, the maximum climb
and cruise power torque setting remains constant at 1840 FT-LB).
The gas generator (compressor) turbine speed is 37,500 RPM at 100% Ng.
The maximum permissible gas generator speed is 38,100 RPM or 101.6 Ng.
The power turbine speed is 33,000 RPM at a propeller shaft speed of 2200
RPM (a reduction gear ratio of 0.0663:1).

NEW ENGINE BREAK-IN AND OPERATION


There are no specific break-in procedures required for the Pratt & Whitney
Canada PT6A-34 turboprop engine. The engine may be operated safely
throughout the normal ranges established by the manufacturer at the
time the airplane is delivered.

ENGINE MOUNT
The engine mount is a 13–Element welded frame fabricated from 4130
steel. The frame attaches to the firewall at four points and contains an
engine mounting bracket providing three engine attach points.

POWER PLANT CONTROLS


The power plant is operated using four separate controls consisting of
a power lever, an emergency power lever, a fuel condition lever, and
a propeller control lever. The power and fuel condition levers directly
control the engine. The propeller control lever regulates propeller speed
and feathering.

Control Quadrant Friction Lock


A quadrant friction lock is installed on the right side of the control
pedestal. It is provided to help minimize creeping of the engine controls
once they have been set. The lock is a knurled knob which increases
friction on the engine controls when it is rotated clockwise.

Power Lever
The power lever is connected, through linkages, to a cam assembly
mounted on the Fuel Control Unit at the rear of the engine. The power
lever controls engine power through its full range from maximum takeoff
to full reverse. The power lever also controls the pitch of the propeller
when placed in the BETA range.
The power lever has MAX, IDLE, BETA, and REVERSE range positions. The
range from the MAX position through IDLE allows selection of the desired
engine power output. The BETA range enables control of propeller blade
angle from idle thrust, through a zero thrust condition, to maximum
reverse thrust.

Section 7
100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
Emergency Power Lever
The emergency power lever is connected, through linkages, to the
manual override lever on the Fuel Control Unit and allows direct control
of engine fuel flow should a malfunction occur in the fuel control unit’s
pneumatic governing system.

CAUTION: When the fuel control manual override system is in use, engine
response may be more rapid as compared to using the normal power
lever. Additional care should be taken during engine acceleration to avoid
exceeding the engine limitations.

When the engine is operating, a failure of any fuel control unit pneumatic
governing signal input will result in the fuel flow decreasing to minimum
idle (approximately 48% Ng at Sea Level and increasing with altitude). The
emergency power lever allows restoration of engine power in the event of
such a failure.
NORMAL and MAX positions are provided for the emergency power lever.
The NORMAL position is used for all normal engine operations when the
fuel control unit is functioning normally and engine power is selected
through the power lever. The range from NORMAL to MAX governs engine
power when the power lever is ineffective.
A mechanical stop in the lever slot requires that the emergency power
lever be moved to the left to clear the stop before it can be moved
forward, out of the NORMAL (full aft) position, and into the override
position.
Whenever the lever is moved from the NORMAL/stowed position, an
EMER PWR LVR annunciation will be displayed on the G1000®.

CAUTION: The emergency power lever/manual override system is


considered an emergency system and should only be used in the event of a
fuel control unit governing malfunction. When attempting a normal start,
ensure the emergency power lever is in the NORMAL (full aft) position;
otherwise, an over-temperature (hot-start) condition may result.

NOTE: When using the emergency power lever, 100% power may not be
obtainable.

Fuel Condition Lever


The fuel condition lever in the cockpit is connected through airframe
linkage to a combined lever and stop mechanism at the top of the Fuel
Control Unit (FCU); this is connected by the FCU linkage to the cut-off
lever on the side of the unit. The lever and stop also function as a hi-idle
stop. The fuel condition lever performs the function of CUTOFF, LOW-IDLE,
and FLIGHT-IDLE. The CUTOFF position shuts off all fuel to the engine’s
fuel nozzles. LOW-IDLE positions the control rod stop to provide a gas
generator RPM of approximately 54% Ng. FLIGHT IDLE positions the
control rod stop to provide a gas generator RPM of approximately 68% Ng.

Propeller Control Lever


The propeller control lever is connected, through linkages, to the
propeller governor mounted on top of the propeller reduction
gearbox. The propeller control lever controls the governor settings
from the maximum RPM position to full feather. The lever has two main
positions: MAX and FEATHER. The MAX position is used when a high RPM
is desired and governs the propeller speed at 2200 RPM. The FEATHER
position is used during normal shutdown of the engine to assist in
stopping the rotation of the power turbine and front section of the
engine. Rotation of the forward section of the engine is not desirable
when the engine is shutdown, since lubrication is not available after the
gas generator section of the engine comes to a stop. With the propeller
feathered when the engine is shut down, propeller windmilling in gusty
wind conditions can also be minimized. A mechanical stop built into the
pedestal slot of the propeller control lever makes it necessary to move the
propeller lever to the left prior to moving the lever into or out of FEATHER.

Torque Indicator
Engine torque (TRQ) is shown by the Torque Indicator, which is displayed
in the same configuration and location on the ENGINE, SYSTEM and FUEL
pages.
The torque indicator uses a circular scale with a moving pointer and a
digital value, indicating the torque being produced by the engine. The
pointer moves through a range of 0 to 2100 FT-LB.
The PT6A-34 engine is limited to 750 SHP for takeoff and emergencies, and
700 SHP for climb and cruise. Shaft horsepower is determined using the
following equation:
SHP = Torque x Propeller RPM
5252
For Example:
750 SHP = 1790 (TRQ) x 2200 (RPM)
5252

The red line on the torque indicator is a dynamic marking depending


upon propeller RPM and represents 751 SHP. If engine torque reaches the
red line limit for longer than five (5) seconds or greater than 2100 FT-LB
at any time, the pointer, digital value, and label (TRQ) turn red to show
engine torque is more than the established limits. The digital value and
label (TRQ) will flash.
The amber arc on the torque indicator is also a dynamic marking
depending upon propeller RPM and represents a shaft horsepower range
from 701 SHP to the upper limit of 750 SHP. If the engine torque and
propeller RPM are generating between 700 SHP and 750 SHP, the torque
indicator title, pointer, and digits will be amber.
The top of the green arc on the torque indicator is also a dynamic marking,
depending upon propeller RPM and represents 700 SHP.
The indicator operates in conjunction with the Torquemeter transmitter
located on the top of the reduction gearbox front case. The transmitter
senses the difference between the engine torque pressure and the
pressure in the engine case. The transmitter relays this data to the GEA
Engine/Airframe Interface Unit, which processes and outputs torque data
to the EIS. A red “X” through the torque indicator shows the indicating
system is inoperative.

Propeller RPM Indicator
Propeller RPM is shown by the Np RPM indicator, which is displayed in
the same configuration and location on the ENGINE, SYSTEM, and FUEL
pages. The propeller RPM indicator uses a circular scale with a moving
pointer and a digital value indicating propeller revolutions per minute in
increments of 10 RPM. The pointer moves through a range from 0 to 2300
RPM with an amber range from 450 to 1050 RPM, a green arc from 1900 to
2200 RPM, and a red radial line at 2200 RPM. When propeller RPM reaches
the red line limit, the pointer, digital value, and label (NP RPM) turn red
to show propeller RPM is more than the limit. The digital value and label
(NP RPM) will flash. The amber range represents the propeller operating
limitation, prohibiting stabilized ground operation between 450 and 1050
RPM.
With some G1000® software configurations (Reference Quest SN 15-01),
in the event that the G1000® detects the propeller RPM has stabilized
between the range of 450 and 1050 RPM, the pointer, digital value, and
label (NP RPM) will turn red, and the annunciation PROP RPM will be
shown, indicating the need to advance the power lever and move out of
the prohibited stabilized range.
The indicator operates in conjunction with a speed sensor and transmitter
within the electrically operated Propeller Tachometer-Generator
attached to the right side of the propeller reduction gearbox. The speed
sensor provides a signal to the tachometer-generator converter box
located on the firewall (if equipped), which provides the translated signal
to the GEA that then processes and outputs propeller RPM data to the
EIS. A red “X” through the Np RPM Indicator shows the indicating system is
inoperative.

ITT Indicator
Inter-Turbine Temperature (ITT or T5) is shown by the ITT indicator, which
is displayed in the same configuration and location on the ENGINE,
SYSTEM, and FUEL pages. The instrument shows the gas temperature
between the compressor and the power turbines. The ITT indicator uses a
circular scale with a moving pointer and a digital value indicating Inter-
Systems

Turbine Temperature in degrees Celsius with 1°C increments. The pointer


moves through a range from 200° to 1200°C.
During engine start, the instrument markings indicate a normal operating
range (green arc) from 200°C to 925°C, caution range (yellow arc) from
926°C to 1090°C, and a red radial line at >1090°C. The indicator also shows
“STRT” directly above the ITT digits, signifying the indicator is in start
mode. If the ITT is greater than 1090°C, the title, pointer, and digits will
flash red. If the ITT is between 926°C and 1090°C, the title, pointer, and

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
With components rotating at speeds of over 37,500 RPM, the engine
lubrication system is vital to proper engine operation. The lubrication
system consists of a pressure system, scavenge system, and a breather
system. The main components of the lubrication system include:
• An integral oil tank at the rear of the engine.
• An oil pressure pump at the bottom of the oil tank.
• An external double-element scavenge pump located on the back
of the accessory gearbox.
• An internal double-element scavenge pump located inside the
accessory gearbox.
• An oil-to-fuel heater located on the upper portion of the accessory
gearbox.
• An oil filter located on the right side of the oil tank.
• A large-capacity oil cooler mounted on the left side of the engine.

Pressure Oil System


Oil is drawn from the bottom of the oil tank through a filter screen,
where it passes through a pressure relief valve for oil pressure regulation.
Pressure oil is delivered from the main oil pump to the oil filter where
foreign matter is removed from the oil, precluding further circulation. Oil
then exits the oil filter outlet and divides into several paths.
Lubrication of the accessory drives and bearings is accomplished through
cored passages in the compressor inlet case, accessory diaphragm, and
gearbox housing, and into the gearbox bearing areas. The No. 1 bearing
is lubricated by pressure oil from the filter outlet through a cored passage
in the compressor inlet case, to a nozzle at the center-bore and to the
rear of the compressor rear hub. The nozzle, containing a fine strainer,
directs the calibrated oil flow into a collector ring mounted on the rear
of the compressor rear hub, and through passes in the split inner race
to the bearing. A cored passage at the main oil filter outlet conducts a
portion of the pressure oil to a minimum pressurizing valve installed in
the compressor inlet case at the two o’clock position. Oil is then applied
to the oil-to-fuel heater where, depending upon temperature of the fuel,
the oil is utilized to preheat the fuel. Oil from the heater is returned to the
oil tank via a check valve and adapter at the twelve o’clock position on the
compressor inlet case.
Systems

A common supply is provided to lubricate the No. 2 bearing, the reduction


gearbox and front accessories, power turbine No. 3 and 4 bearings, and
the propeller installation. Oil from the filter outlet is directed through
a cored passage and transfer tube to an outlet boss at the four o’clock
position on the compressor inlet case. An external oil transfer tube
connected to the boss directs the oil forward to a tee coupling at the gas
generator case. An internal oil transfer tube directs the oil to an oil transfer
gallery in the No. 2 bearing compartment. The gallery houses two nozzles
which are protected by a fine strainer. The nozzles direct the oil flow onto
the front and rear faces of the bearing. A second external oil transfer tube

Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

directs the oil forward from the tee coupling on the gas generator case to
a boss on the front case of the reduction gearbox. From the boss, the oil is
directed internally, via cored passages and transfer tubes, to three areas.
1. First, to the first-stage reduction gears, the torquemeter, and the No. 3
and 4 bearings. Oil to the torquemeter flows through a metering valve
which controls the flow into the torquemeter chamber. The position
of the metering valve is controlled by the torquemeter piston which
reacts in direct proportion to the engine torque. Oil is directed to
three nozzles in the No. 3 bearing oil tube, in the power turbine shaft
housing, via a transfer tube in the rear case of the reduction gearbox.
Two nozzles direct oil to the front and rear faces of the No. 3 roller
bearing, while the third nozzle directs the oil flow to the rear face of the
No. 4 bearing.
2. The second oil delivery line directs oil to the propeller shaft front roller
and ball thrust bearings, the second-stage reduction gears, and the
No. 4 bearing. The oil flow is directed through the rear annulus of an oil
transfer sleeve mounted on the propeller shaft and, via the rear section
of the propeller oil transfer tube in the shaft, to the No. 4 bearing oil
nozzle installed at the rear end of the transfer tube. The oil is sprayed
into the hollow front section of the power turbine shaft; centrifugal
force directs the oil through a drilled annulus in the shaft to passages
between the No. 4 bearing inner races and into the sun gear coupling.
Oil from the rear section of the propeller shaft oil transfer tube is also
directed, via drilled holes in the propeller shaft and cored passages in
the second-stage gear carrier, to the shaft/second-stage gear-pins and
propeller shaft roller bearing.
3. The third oil delivery line directs oil via an internal annulus and cored
passages to the externally mounted propeller governor, the accessory
drive gears and the propeller thrust bearing. Oil pressure from the
propeller governor is directed via a port in the mounting flange
and cored passages in the front case of the reduction gearbox to a
transfer tube which connects to the front annulus in the oil transfer
sleeve mounted on the propeller shaft. The oil in the annulus is then
directed into the propeller shaft center-bore via the front section of the
propeller oil transfer tube.

Scavenge Oil System


The scavenge system incorporates two double-element gear-type pumps
contained in cast housings, and are driven by the accessory gearbox drive
shafts. One pump is mounted within the accessory gearbox, while the
other is externally mounted at the rear of the gearbox. Oil from the No. 1
Systems

bearing compartment is returned by gravity via an internal cored passage


to the bottom of the compressor inlet case. From there, it is directed
through the oil tank compartment by a transfer tube and a port in the
accessory diaphragm and is then discharged into the gearbox. The No. 2
bearing oil drains via internal tubes to a boss at the five o’clock position on
the gas generator case. A flanged transfer tube directs the oil rearward to
a boss at the six o’clock position on the compressor inlet case; the oil then
passes through cored passages and a transfer tube to the front element of
the internal scavenge pump. Scavenged oil is dumped into the accessory
gearbox. Oil from the No. 3 and 4 bearings drains into the power turbine

shaft housing where, in normal flight attitude, it drains and passes through
holes in the rear case of the reduction gearbox. The oil is also partially
scavenged by the front element of the external scavenge pump and
ejected into the accessory gearbox sump.
When the engine is in a nose–up attitude, the oil collects at the rear
section of the power turbine shaft housing and is totally scavenged by the
front element of the scavenge pump, via the No. 3 bearing scavenge oil
tube and one of the external scavenge oil tubes. When the engine is in a
nose–down attitude, all the oil drains forward into the reduction gearbox
sump. Oil is supplied to the propeller governor, front thrust bearing,
reduction gearbox accessory-drives and torquemeter bleed-orifice, and
drains into the gearbox sump. From the sump, oil is scavenged by the rear
element of the external scavenge pump via a strainer in the front case of
the reduction gearbox and a second external oil transfer tube. The rear
element of the scavenge pump forces the oil to an airframe-mounted
cooler from where it is returned to the oil tank via an inlet adapter located
at the twelve o’clock position on the compressor inlet case. Oil flows from
the adapter into a deaerator tray installed at the top of the tank, and
drains into the tank.
Oil from the centrifugal breather, accessory gear shafts and bearings, input
gear shaft and bearing, drains into the accessory gearbox sump where it
is scavenged by the rear element of the internal scavenge pump which
forces the oil into an externally mounted cooler. All oil supplied to the
cooler is returned to the oil tank.

Breather System
Breather air from the engine bearing compartments and the accessory
and reduction gearboxes is vented overboard through the centrifugal
breather installed in the accessory gearbox. The bearing compartments
are connected to the accessory gearbox by cored passages and existing
scavenge oil return lines.
The No. 1 bearing compartment vents rearward through the rear bearing
housing and oil tank center tube and into the accessory gearbox. The
No. 2 bearing compartment is vented via the scavenge oil transfer tube. A
bypass valve, immediately upstream of the front element of the internal
scavenge pump, allows oil and air to be vented into the accessory gearbox
under certain transient operating conditions to prevent over pressurizing
the No. 2 bearing area. Under normal operating conditions, the valve is
closed to prevent oil from flooding back into the tube assembly. The No. 3
and 4 bearing compartment and the reduction gearbox areas vent to the
accessory gearbox and oil tank, respectively, through their scavenge oil
Systems

lines. The oil tank is vented to the accessory gearbox through the anti-
flooding arrangement installed at the eleven o’clock position in the oil
tank.

ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
The engine fuel system provides the necessary fuel to accommodate the
speed and power demands of the engine.
For additional information, refer to the Fuel System in this section.

OIL/FUEL RESERVOIR(S) AND EJECTOR


An oil/fuel reservoir(s) (EPA-Can) is mounted on the lower left portion
of the firewall or directly to the lower cowling. This reservoir(s) collects
engine oil seepage and fuel discharge.
For additional information, refer to the Fuel System in this section.

NOTE: If the oil/fuel reservoir is not drained on a regular basis, the


contents will overflow onto the ground.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM


The engine air inlet is located at the lower forward section of the
engine nacelle. Ram air entering the inlet flows through ducting and an
inertial air particle separator system, then enters the engine through a
circular plenum chamber where it is directed by inlet guide vanes to the
compressor section. A screen is installed on the compressor air inlet which
prevents larger debris from entering the engine, but does not filter the
inlet air.

Inertial Particle Separator System


An inertial air particle separator system (Inertial Separator) is installed in
the air inlet duct to prevent moisture and dust particles from entering the
engine when placed in BYPASS mode. The inertial separator consists of
two electrically actuated vanes and a fixed airfoil which, during NORMAL
operation, route the inlet air through a gentle turn into the compressor air
inlet plenum. When operating in dusty or moisture filled environments,
the BYPASS mode may be selected. When the inertial separator is placed
in the BYPASS mode, the moveable vanes are placed in a position to force
the air to make a sharp turn prior to entering the inlet plenum. This sharp
turn causes moisture or debris to separate from the inlet air and discharge
overboard through two outlets on the lower portion of the engine nacelle.
Operation of the inertial separator system is controlled by a switch
Systems

mounted on the right switch panel in the ice protection cluster of


switches. The switch is labeled ENG INLET and has positions for NORMAL
and BYPASS. The inertial separator should be placed in BYPASS prior
to operating the engine when visible moisture is present (clouds, rain,
snow, ice crystals, etc.) and outside air temperatures are below 5°C (41°F).
The inertial separator system may also be used for ground operations or
takeoffs from dusty, sandy field conditions to minimize the ingestion of
foreign particles and debris into the compressor. The NORMAL position
should be used for all other operations as cruise performance is reduced
by approximately 5 KTAS when the engine inlet is in BYPASS.

IGNITION SYSTEM
The ignition system consists of two spark igniters, an ignition exciter,
two high tension leads, an ignition switch, a starter switch, and an
®
IGNITION ON annunciation through the G1000 .
Ignition is controlled by an ignition switch and a starter switch located
on the lower left portion of the instrument panel. Normally, the ignition
system is only energized during engine start.
For more information, see "Section 4", Normal Procedures Checklist,
Engine Starts; or "Section 4", Amplified Normal Procedures, Engine
Starting.

Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has two positions, ON and OFF. When the switch is
placed in the OFF position, the ignition system will only be activated
when HI START is selected on the starter switch. In this mode of starting,
the ignition system is automatically activated. The ignition system may be
manually activated by selecting the ON position on the ignition switch for
LO START operations.
For more information, see "Section 4", Amplified Normal Procedures,
Engine Ignition Procedures.

STARTING SYSTEM
The starting system consists of a starter/generator, a starter switch, and a

The starter is controlled by a three position starter switch. The starter/
generator functions as a motor for engine starting and motors the gas
generator section until the engine stabilizes at idle speed and the starter
switch is returned to the OFF position.
During LO/MOTOR start the following sequence occurs:
• The K6 relay is open. The K5 relay closes, which connects Battery
#2 to the Primary Bus for engine starting. Both batteries are
connected in parallel by the MCU, during the entire start sequence.
During HI START the following sequence occurs:
• The K6 relay is open. The K5 relay closes, which connects Battery

ACCESSORY GEARBOX
Positioned at the rear of the engine, the accessory gearbox assembly is
comprised of two magnesium alloy castings bolted together at their outer
flanges and installed on the compressor air inlet case.
The front casting forms an oil-tight diaphragm between the oil tank
compartment in the compressor inlet case and the accessory gearing. The
oil pump and pressure relief valve assembly are bolted to the forward face
of the accessory diaphragm.
The rear casting forms the gearbox housing and provides support bosses
for the accessory drive gear rear bearings and seals. Roller bearings
attached to the gearbox rear casting and the diaphragm at the center
give support for the gearbox input gearshaft. The input gearshaft uses an
external spline at its front end to connect with the corresponding internal
spline on the input coupling shaft.
Studded mounting pads are built into the external face of the gearbox
housing for the Fuel Control Unit, Engine-Driven Fuel Pump, Starter-
Generator, and the Ng Tachometer Generator. All main accessory drives
are supported on identical roller bearings. With the exception of the front
bearing of the Starter-Generator gearshaft, all drives are fitted with garter-
type oil seals. Accessories are driven from the compressor turbine by a
coupling shaft extending through a conical tube in the center section of
the integral oil tank.
A combined filler cap and dipstick/gauge assembly is installed at the
11 o’clock position of the accessory gear box housing. The assembly is
attached to a removable filler tube, which projects forward and downward
through the accessory gearbox and diaphragm into the oil tank to form a
seal between the tank and gearbox.
An oil tray in the lower section of the gearbox next to the scavenge pump
drive gears minimizes oil foaming during engine operation.

Oil Pump
Pressure oil is circulated from the integral oil tank through the engine
lubrication system by a self-contained, gear-type pressure pump located
in the low point of the oil tank. The oil pump is installed in a cast housing
which is bolted to the forward face of the accessory diaphragm, and
is driven by the accessory gear drive shaft. The body of the oil pump
incorporates a circular mounting boss to accommodate a check valve,
located in the end of the filter housing. A second mounting boss on the
pump includes a pressure relief valve.

PROPELLER REDUCTION GEARBOX


The reduction gears and propeller shaft are housed in two magnesium
alloy castings which are bolted together at the exhaust duct flange. The
gearbox contains a two-stage planetary gear train, three accessory drives
and the propeller shaft. The first-stage reduction gear is in the rear case,
while the second-stage reduction gear, accessory drives and propeller
shaft are contained in the front case. Torque from the power turbine is
transmitted to the first-stage reduction gear, from there to the second-
stage reduction gear, and then to the propeller shaft. The reduction ratio
of 0.0663:1 provides a maximum propeller speed of 2200 RPM from a
power turbine speed of approximately 33,200 RPM.
The accessories, located on the front case of the propeller reduction
gearbox, are driven by a bevel gear mounted at the rear of the propeller
shaft thrust bearing assembly. Drive shafts from the bevel gear transmit
rotational power to the three pads located at the twelve, three, and nine
o’clock positions.
Propeller thrust loads are absorbed by a flanged ball bearing assembly
located in the center bore at the forward face of the propeller reduction
gearbox. The bevel drive gear adjusting spacer, thrust bearing, and seal
runner are stacked and secured to the propeller shaft by a key-washer and
spanner nut. A thrust bearing cover assembly is secured by bolts at the
front flange of the propeller reduction gearbox front case.

Propeller Governor
The propeller governor is located at the twelve o’clock position on the
front case of the propeller reduction gearbox. Under normal conditions,
the governor acts as a constant speed unit and maintains the propeller
speed selected at the propeller RPM control by varying the propeller blade
angle to match the propeller load to the engine torque.
The propeller governor also contains an integral power turbine governor
section. Its function is to protect the engine against a possible power
turbine overspeed condition in the event of a propeller governor failure.
If such an overspeed condition should occur, a governing orifice in the
propeller governor is opened by flyweights to bleed off compressor
discharge pressure through the governor and computing section of the
fuel control unit. When this occurs, compressor discharge pressure acting
on the fuel control unit bellows decreases and brings the metering valve
to a closed direction and reduces fuel flow to the flow divider.

Propeller Overspeed Governor


Systems

The propeller overspeed governor is installed at the ten o’clock position


on the front case of the propeller reduction gearbox. The governor acts as
a backup to the propeller governor, preventing an overspeed condition
should the main propeller governor fail to properly limit propeller RPM.
The propeller overspeed governor regulates the oil flow to the propeller
pitch-change mechanism by means of a flyweight and speeder spring
arrangement similar to the primary propeller governor. Since it has no
mechanical controls, the overspeed governor is equipped with a test
solenoid to reset the overspeed governor below its normal overspeed

setting for ground testing of the unit. The overspeed governor test button
is located on the upper left portion of the cockpit instrument panel.

Overspeed Governor Test Button


An overspeed governor test button is installed on the upper left portion
of the cockpit instrument panel. The button is a push-to-test type and
is used to test the overspeed governor during engine run-up. When the
button is depressed, a solenoid is actuated on the propeller overspeed
governor, which restricts propeller RPM when the power lever is advanced.
To check for proper operation of the overspeed governor, during engine
run-up, press and hold the push-to-test button and advance the power
lever until the propeller RPM stabilizes. The propeller RPM should stabilize
at 2070 ± 50 RPM.

Propeller Tachometer-Generator
The propeller tachometer‑generator produces an electric frequency,
which is used by the Propeller RPM Indicator to denote propeller RPM.
The propeller tachometer-generator drive and mount pad is located on
the right side of the propeller reduction gearbox case and has a clockwise
rotation at a ratio of 0.1264:1.
For additional information, see the Propeller RPM Indicator in this
section.

Torquemeter
The torquemeter is a hydro-mechanical torque measuring device located
inside the first stage of reduction gear housing. The torquemeter provides
an accurate indication of engine power output in FT-LB of torque.
The difference between the torquemeter pressure and the reduction
gearbox internal pressure accurately indicates torque production. The
two pressures are routed to a pressure transducer which is electrically
connected to the G1000®, which provides an accurate indication of engine
torque pressure.
For additional information, see the Torque Indicator in this section.

Chip Detector
An optional chip detector may be installed on the bottom of the propeller
reduction gearbox and/or the accessory gearbox.
The G1000® software will show an annunciation if there are any metallic
Systems

chips detected in either gearbox. The chip detection annunciation will

7–12 PROPELLER
The KODIAK® is equipped with a Hartzell aluminum four-bladed, reversing
single-acting governor-regulated propeller. The propeller control lever
establishes the propeller speed through the governor and uses a single oil
supply from the governor to hydraulically actuate a change in blade angle.
A two piece aluminum hub retains each propeller blade on a thrust
bearing. A cylinder is attached to the hub and contains a feathering spring
and piston. The hydraulically actuated piston transmits linear motion
through a pitch change rod and fork to each blade, resulting in a change
of blade angle.
While the propeller is operating, the following forces are constantly
present: spring force, counterweight force, centrifugal twisting moment
of each blade, and blade aerodynamic twisting forces. The spring and
counterweight forces attempt to bring the blades to a higher blade angle
(low RPM or feather), while the centrifugal twisting moment of each blade
attempts to bring the blades to a lower blade angle (high RPM). Blade
aerodynamic twisting force is very slight in comparison to the other forces
and will generally tend to increase the propeller blade angle.
This combination of the propeller forces results in the propeller blades
being brought to a higher pitch (Lower RPM or feather) and is opposed
by a variable force toward a low pitch (high RPM); the variable force is
engine oil, under pressure from the propeller governor’s integral oil boost
pump. The engine-driven propeller governor is mounted on an accessory
mounting pad at the twelve o’clock position of the propeller reduction
gearbox. The oil from the governor is supplied to the propeller and
hydraulic piston through a hollow engine/propeller shaft. Increasing the
volume of oil within the piston and cylinder, will decrease the blade angle
and increase propeller RPM. By changing the blade angle, the governor
can maintain a constant RPM independent of where the power lever is
set and with variances in engine loads. The governor uses engine speed-
sensing mechanisms to determine if oil should be supplied or drained, as
necessary to maintain constant engine speed (RPM).
If governor supply oil is lost during operation, the propeller will increase
pitch to the feather position. Feathering occurs because the summation
of internal propeller forces causes the oil to drain out of the propeller until
the feather stop position is reached.
Normal in-flight feathering is accomplished when the pilot retards
the propeller control lever beyond the FEATHER tab. When this is
accomplished the oil is allowed to drain from the propeller and return to
Systems

the engine sump. The engine is normally shut down with the propeller in
feather.
Normal in-flight unfeathering is accomplished by positioning the propeller
control lever forward of the FEATHER tab with the engine started.
As engine speed increases, the governor supplies oil pressure to the
propeller, resulting in a decrease in blade angle.
Reverse propeller pitch is available for decreasing ground roll during
landing. In the reverse mode of operation, the governor operates in an
underspeed condition to act strictly as a source of pressurized oil, without

directly controlling propeller RPM. Control of the propeller blade angle in
reverse is accomplished with the power lever, beta valve, beta ring, and
carbon block.
The propeller is reversed by manually positioning the power lever deep
into beta range, causing the beta valve to supply oil from the governor
pump to the propeller. Several external propeller mechanisms, including
the beta ring and carbon block assembly, communicate propeller blade
angle position to the beta valve.
When the propeller reaches its desired reverse position, movement of the
beta ring and carbon block assembly initiated by the propeller piston,
causes the beta valve to shut off the flow to the propeller. Any additional
unwanted movement of the propeller toward reverse, or any forward
movement of the power lever to bring the propeller out of feather, will
cause the beta valve to drain oil from the propeller and increase pitch.

CAUTION: The propeller reversing linkage may be damaged if the


power lever is moved aft of the IDLE position when the propeller is in the
feathered position.

OPTIONAL PITCH LATCH PROPELLER


For water operations, it is undesirable to feather the propeller when the
engine is stopped after landing the aircraft. If the engine is subsequently
started with the propeller in the feathered position, residual thrust
complicates docking and handling of the aircraft.
To prevent feathering the propeller (as during normal engine shutdown),
the propeller incorporates spring-energized latch pins, called auto high
pitch stop units. Two units are installed on the propeller cylinder. When the
propeller RPM is approximately 800 or above, centrifugal force disengages
the latch pins from the piston, allowing it to move as needed between the
reverse and feather stops. When the RPM falls below this value, a spring
in each auto high pitch stop unit overcomes the centrifugal force on the
latch pin, causing it to retract into the cylinder and engage the piston,
preventing it from moving in the feather direction. To engage the stop
units upon engine shutdown, the propeller control must be placed into
the reverse thrust position before stopping the engine. Upon stopping, a
large spring in the propeller moves it towards the feathered position, but
as the RPM decreases below approximately 800, the retracted latch pins
engage the piston, preventing the propeller from feathering.
Systems

Upon starting the engine, the propeller is already in a flat pitch. What little
thrust is generated while starting the engine does not present a handling
problem for the aircraft. To disengage the latches before taxi and flight,
the power lever must be placed momentarily in the reverse thrust position
while at low power. This removes the lateral friction force from the latch
pins and prevents them from being damaged by the application of power.
After adding sufficient power to advance the RPM above 800, the latch
pins move to an outward position and remain there, allowing full control
of the propeller.

7–13 FUEL SYSTEM


The airplane fuel system consists of two vented and integral fuel tanks,
fuel shutoff valves and selectors, a fuel selectors OFF warning system, fuel
reservoir tank, ejector fuel pump, auxiliary fuel pump, firewall fuel shutoff
valve, airframe fuel filter, oil-to-fuel heater, engine‑driven fuel pump,
fuel control unit, flow divider, engine fuel nozzle manifolds, and an oil/
fuel reservoir drain(s). Refer to "Section 2" of this manual for fuel system
capacity data.

WARNING: Unusable fuel levels were determined for this airplane in


accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations. Failure to operate the
airplane according to the Fuel Limitations outlined in "Section 2"of this
manual may further reduce the amount of fuel available for flight.

Fuel system ventilation is critical to system operation. Complete blockage


of the vent system will result in a decrease in fuel flow and eventual
stoppage of the engine.
Fuel gravity‑feeds from the tanks through the two fuel tank shutoff/
selector valves to a single fuel reservoir tank.
When the engine is running, the ejector fuel pump, located inside the
fuel reservoir tank, is driven by motive flow from the engine–driven fuel
pump and provides fuel from the fuel reservoir tank to the airframe fuel
manifold.
The auxiliary fuel pump, installed just forward of the fuel reservoir tank,
is used to supply fuel during engine start. When the auxiliary fuel pump
is placed in standby mode, if the low fuel pressure switch senses that
fuel pressure just forward of the ejector fuel pump has dropped below
approximately four (4) psi, the auxiliary fuel pump will engage and send
fuel from the fuel reservoir tank into the airframe fuel manifold.
From the fuel manifold, fuel flows through a firewall fuel shutoff valve
located on the aft side of the firewall. The fuel is then directed through an
airframe fuel filter mounted on the forward side of the firewall.
Fuel leaving the airframe fuel filter continues to the oil-to-fuel heater and
then to the engine-driven fuel pump where the fuel is pressurized and
delivered to the fuel control unit.
The fuel control unit meters the fuel and directs it to the flow divider,
which distributes the fuel to the engine fuel nozzle manifolds located in
the combustion chamber.
Systems

At shutdown, fuel remaining in the engine fuel nozzle manifolds drains


into an oil/fuel reservoir(s) located on the lower, forward left portion of the
firewall or on the lower left cowl. The reservoir(s) should be drained prior
to the first flight of the day and at intervals not exceeding three engine
shutdowns to prevent overflow.

There are two fuel filler ports per wing (inboard and outboard). Fueling
should be done in accordance with "Section 8" of this manual. Fuel port
filling caps are tightly sealed to prevent leakage. When opening the filling
cap, if necessary to break the seal, use a smooth, flat-edged plastic or
phenolic tool. An anti-siphon flapper valve is installed in each fuel filler
port to prevent the siphoning of large quantities of fuel. However, if the
fuel port filler cap is improperly closed, fuel spillage will still occur.

CAUTION: To prevent excessive spillage, the inboard fueling port must


not be opened when wing fuel quantities exceed 96.5 U.S.G. or 640 LB.

Fuel gravity‑feeds from the tanks, passing through contaminate screens


and the two fuel tank shutoff/selector valves, located at the inboard
portion of each wing tank, to a single fuel reservoir tank.
Systems

The right and left tanks are vented together via lines routed through the
wing leading edge and the overhead cabin. The vent lines are equipped
with check and pressure valves to help prevent fuel from flowing out of
the vent lines during maneuvering of the aircraft. The vent lines protrude
from the lower outboard portion of the wings just forward of the ailerons.
A small NACA scoop located on the lower wing surface just outboard of
the integral fuel tank provides venting to the upper outboard corner of
each fuel tank.

a clear sampler and drain fuel to determine if contamination is present in
the system, and to verify the aircraft was fueled with the appropriate fuel.
For additional information, see Drain Valves and Fuel Sampling in this

Fuel Temperature Indication (If Equipped)


The float-type fuel sensors have an integrated fuel temperature sensor
in the right wing inboard sensor. This indication is shown on the Fuel EIS
page and is displayed in degrees Celsius.

Fuel Quantity Indicators

Indirect Reading of Fuel Quantity


Fuel Flow Indicator
Fuel flow is measured downstream from the fuel control unit as it
passes through the fuel flow transducer prior to being routed to the
flow divider.
The indicator shows on the ENGINE and Fuel EIS pages as
FFLOW PPH  , providing a digital indication of engine fuel consumption
in pounds per hour based on Jet-A fuel.

Electric Fuel Quantity


Fuel quantity is measured in each wing fuel tank by two capacitive-
type fuel level probes, one at the inboard and one at the outboard
portion of each tank, or by two float-type fuel sensors, which are
mounted to the inboard and outboard ribs of each tank.
The fuel quantity indicator on the default ENGINE EIS page
shows a horizontal gage. The indicator on the Fuel EIS page shows
the fuel quantity as digits.

AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

NOTE: While capacitive-type fuel systems have been the industry


standard for several decades, it remains critically important for operators
to be aware of system limitations associated with their use. Capacitive-
type fuel systems are affected by a variety of environmental factors.
Fuel density variations alone can lead to significant effects. For example
a wing tank with full fuel at -40°C (-40°F) may contain as much as 180
pounds more usable fuel than a full wing tank at 50°C (122°F). Such
density variation is not reflected in the indicated fuel quantity. Other
environmental factors can further affect the indicated fuel quantity.
For this and other reasons, it is imperative that operators perform
thorough preflight planning to verify the quantity of fuel prior to
departure, and maintain a suitable fuel reserve on every flight. The Pilot’s
Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (FAA-H-8083-25A) provides the
following pilot guidance concerning fuel indicators:
Fuel Gauges
The fuel quantity gauges indicate the amount of fuel measured by a
sensing unit in each fuel tank and is displayed in gallons or pounds.
Aircraft certification rules require accuracy in fuel gauges only when
they read “empty.” Any reading other than “empty” should be verified.
Do not depend solely on the accuracy of fuel quantity gauges.
Always visually check the fuel level in each tank during the preflight
inspection, and then compare it with the corresponding fuel quantity
indication.
To aid the pilot in verifying fuel quantity the KODIAK® 100 is equipped with
under-wing magnetic gauges, which allow direct measurement of fuel
levels up to approximately 75 gallons (500 lb) in each wing. In addition,
a qualified, calibrated fuel pipette can be inserted through the outboard
filler port to take direct measurements of fuel levels greater than 75
gallons (500 lb).
The KODIAK® 100 also provides pilots with a fuel totalizer function, which
is driven by a fuel flow meter. Properly used, the fuel totalizer can provide
even more accurate total fuel quantity indication than the capacitive
fuel indicators , as it is relatively immune to water or fuel contamination
and is less affected by temperature changes. However, the fuel totalizer
requires proper manual entry of the initial fuel quantity in order to provide
accurate indication. The totalizer cannot be used to assess wing imbalance
and does not account for fuel loss due to leaks.

Direct Reading of Fuel Quantity

CAUTION: To obtain accurate measurements from a direct reading fuel


quantity gauge, the airplane must be parked on a level surface.

Under-Wing Magnetic Gauges


The airplane is equipped with two under-wing magnetic gauges,
one installed on each wing, providing a method for checking the fuel
quantity up to approximately 75 gallons (500 lb), during the preflight
inspection of the aircraft. The under-wing magnetic gauges are
installed on the inboard portion of the wings on the lower surfaces,
and operate with a float and magnet mechanism to provide a direct
indiction of fuel quantity for use during preflight inspection.

NOTE: Due to wing dihedral, the under-wing magnetic gauges are limited
to indicating a maximum of 75 gallons.

Under-Wing Magnetic Gauge Instructions


1. P
 ush and turn the gauge stick either direction ¼ turn, using a
flat-head screwdriver or similar tool to release the stick from the
housing.
2. O
 nce the stick is accessible, pull briskly downward on the stick to
disconnect the magnetic stick from the float inside the tank. Once
the stick is disconnected, it should feel light and easy to slide up
and down.
3. S lowly lift the magnetic stick until it snaps upwards and reattaches
to the float.
4. R
 ead the fuel level by comparing the markings on the stick with
the lower-most flat surface of the Magnetic Gauge housing.
Fuel Pipette
To measure fuel levels greater than 75 gallons (500 lb), a qualified,
calibrated fuel pipette inserted through the outboard filler port is one
means of providing accurate indication of the fuel onboard.
Wing Tank Low Fuel Warning System
The wing tank low fuel warning system consists of two low fuel level
optical switches (one in each wing tank) which provide visual and aural
Systems

annunciation through the G1000®. The warning system activates when


the fuel level in either wing tank falls below approximately 100 pounds.
Visual annunciation is shown as follows:
FUEL LOW L - Indicates the fuel level in the left wing tank is below
approximately 100 pounds.
FUEL LOW R Indicates the fuel level in the right wing tank is below
-
approximately 100 pounds.
FUEL LOW L–R - Indicates the fuel level in each wing tank is below
approximately 100 pounds each.

FUEL TANK SELECTORS


Two fuel tank selectors are located on the overhead panel between the
front crew seats. By actuating the controls, the pilot can select either the
left or right fuel tank, or both at the same time.
The selectors are labeled “LEFT: ON and OFF” and “RIGHT: ON and OFF”, and
provide mechanical position control of the two fuel tank shutoff valves
at the inboard root of each wing tank. When placed in the ON position,
both shutoff valves in that tank are open, allowing fuel from that wing
tank to flow freely to the fuel reservoir tank. When a fuel tank selector is
placed in the OFF position, the shutoff valves for the tank are closed, and
prevent fuel from flowing to the fuel reservoir tank. Normal operations are
conducted with both selector valves in the ON position.

NOTE: Detents are provided on the fuel selector valve ON and OFF
positions to give tactile confirmation of the selected valve position.
Movement of the selector valve handle beyond the detent positions is
possible with aggressive control movement, but is not recommended as
selector handle over-travel has no further effect on the valve position.

Fuel Selectors OFF Warning System


A Fuel Selectors OFF warning system is provided to alert the pilot if the
fuel selector valves for both the left and right wing tanks are placed in the
OFF position. If both selector valves are placed in the OFF position, a red
LED light installed directly above PFD #1 will illuminate, FUEL OFF L–R
will be displayed in the annunciation windows of the PFDs, and an aural
warning chime will sound through the aircraft speakers and headsets.

FUEL RESERVOIR TANK


The fuel reservoir tank is a nitrile-impregnated fabric bladder located in
the bilge area of the fuselage, aft of the firewall, at the low point of the fuel
system. Venting occurs through both wing tank vent lines.
Fuel gravity‑feeds from the wing tanks through the fuel tank shutoff/
selector valves to the fuel reservoir tank. The fuel reservoir tank maintains
a head of fuel around the ejector fuel pump, helping to prevent
engine‑driven fuel pump cavitation in low-fuel quantity situations, or
while maneuvering the aircraft in‑flight.
Fuel leaves the fuel reservoir tank assisted by either the ejector fuel pump
Systems

or the auxiliary fuel pump, moving fuel into the airframe fuel manifold.

Reservoir Fuel Low Annunciation


A reservoir fuel low warning system is provided and consists of one low
fuel level optical switch in the fuel reservoir tank which provides visual and
aural annunciations through the G1000®. The warning system is activated
when the fuel level decreases below the switch. Visual annunciation is
displayed as follows: RESERVOIR FUEL

Section 7
100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
EJECTOR FUEL PUMP
The ejector fuel pump is located inside the fuel reservoir tank.
When the engine is running during cruise, fuel is pushed into the ejector
fuel pump at approximately 80 PSI driven by motive flow from the fuel
control unit. Fuel exits the ejector fuel pump at approximately 16 PSI,
flowing past a low fuel pressure switch into the airframe fuel manifold.

Fuel Pressure Low Annunciation


A fuel pressure low warning system notifies the pilot if the fuel pressure,
which passes a low fuel pressure switch installed between the ejector fuel
pump and the airframe fuel manifold, falls below approximately four (4)
PSI.
Visual and aural annunciation is provided through the G1000®. Visual
annunciation is displayed as follows: FUEL PRESS LOW

AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP


The electric powered auxiliary fuel pump is installed just forward of the
fuel reservoir tank and is used to supply fuel during engine start. Power
for the auxiliary fuel pump is supplied via a circuit breaker located in the
circuit breaker panel on the control pedestal.
An auxiliary fuel pump switch, located on the lower left portion of the
instrument panel, is labeled AUX FUEL PUMP and has three positions: OFF,
STBY, and ON.
When the switch is placed in the OFF position, the auxiliary fuel pump is
rendered inoperative.
When the switch is placed in the STBY position, the auxiliary fuel pump is
armed. If the low fuel pressure switch determines that the fuel pressure
just forward of the ejector fuel pump has fallen below approximately
four (4) PSI, a relay is triggered, and the auxiliary fuel pump automatically
draws fuel from the fuel reservoir tank to feed the airframe fuel manifold.
The STBY switch position is used during normal engine operations, when
the main flow of fuel is provided by the ejector fuel pump.
When the auxiliary fuel pump switch is placed in the ON position, the
auxiliary fuel pump operates continuously, drawing power directly
through the circuit breaker on the control pedestal panel. This position
is used for engine start. If the auxiliary fuel pump continuously cycles
on‑and‑off with the switch placed in the STBY position, move the switch to
Systems

the ON position.

Auxiliary Fuel Pump ON Annunciation


An AUX PUMP ON advisory annunciation displays on the G1000®. The
annunciator will illuminate any time power is supplied to the auxiliary fuel
pump. When on the ground and power is supplied, the pressure indication
will be approximately 30 psi. In the event that all display capability is lost
for the G1000®, the auxiliary fuel pump continues to work as it is operated
on an independent circuit.
Visual annunciation is displayed as follows: AUX PUMP ON

FIREWALL FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE


A manual firewall fuel shutoff valve is installed on the aft side of the
firewall. The shutoff valve enables the fuel from the fuel reservoir tank
to be shutoff completely from the engine. The shutoff valve is controlled
by a red push-pull knob installed on the upper portion of the Control
Pedestal. The firewall fuel shutoff valve is labeled FUEL SHUTOFF - PULL
OFF. The knob has a press-to-release button in the center which locks the
knob in place when the button is released.

AIRFRAME FUEL FILTER


An airframe fuel filter is installed on the forward side of the firewall. Fuel
exits the airframe fuel manifold, moves through the firewall fuel shutoff
valve, and enters the airframe fuel filter.
The airframe fuel filter incorporates a bypass feature, which allows fuel
to bypass the filter, in the event the filter becomes clogged with foreign
debris. If the airframe fuel filter is in bypass mode, a red filter‑bypass flag
on top of the filter protrudes upward.
Fuel exits the airframe fuel filter and enters the oil‑to‑fuel heater.
Airframe Fuel Filter Drain Valves
The airframe fuel filter drain valve consists of a drain pipe, which can be
depressed upward to drain fuel from the airframe fuel filter. A fuel sampler
can be used in conjunction with this drain valve for fuel sampling and
purging debris from the system. For additional information, see Drain
Valves or Fuel Sampling in this section.

OIL-TO-FUEL HEATER
An oil-to-fuel heater is located in line between the airframe fuel filter,
installed on the forward side of the firewall, and the engine‑driven fuel
pump.
Fuel exiting the airframe fuel filter moves through the oil-to-fuel heater,
which utilizes heat from the engine lubricating oil system to preheat the
fuel, prior to entering the engine-driven fuel pump. A bypass valve in
the heater, utilizing thermal elements, regulates the fuel temperature by
either allowing oil to flow through the heater or bypassing it back to the
engine oil tank.

ENGINE‑DRIVEN FUEL PUMP


Systems

The engine-driven fuel pump is mounted on the engine accessory


gearbox at the two o’clock position. The pump is driven through an
accessory drive shaft and splined coupling. The coupling splines are
lubricated by an oil mist from the auxiliary gearbox through a hollowed-
out section of the accessory gear drive shaft. Another splined coupling
extends the drive to the fuel control unit, which is installed on the rear
face of the engine‑driven fuel pump.
Fuel is routed from the oil‑to‑fuel heater into the engine‑driven fuel pump
through a 74–micron inlet screen. The inlet screen is spring loaded to
allow unfiltered fuel to flow into the pump chamber should the filter

100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
become blocked. Fuel enters the pump gear chamber where it is boosted
to a high pressure and delivered to the fuel control unit through a 10–
micron pump outlet filter. A bypass valve and cored passages in the
pump casing allow unfiltered high pressure fuel to flow from the pump
to the fuel control unit should the outlet filter become clogged. An
internal passage, beginning at the mating surface with the fuel control
unit, returns bypass fuel from the fuel control unit to the pump inlet,
downstream of the inlet screen. A pressure regulating valve is installed
in this internal passage to accomplish pressurization of the pump gear
bushings.
Excess fuel not consumed by the Fuel Control Unit is routed through
the motive flow orifice and sent back through a check valve to the fuel
reservoir tank.

FUEL CONTROL UNIT


The fuel control unit is installed on the rear face of the engine‑driven fuel
pump. Pressurized fuel exits the engine‑driven fuel pump and enters the
fuel control unit.

CAUTION: Blue dye or fuel leakage from the vent hole on the underside of
the fuel control unit indicates possible damage to the unit and immediate
service is required.

The fuel control unit consists of a fuel metering section, a temperature


compensating section, and a gas generator pneumatic governor. The
fuel control unit determines the proper fuel flow to provide the required
power as selected by input from the power lever. This is accomplished
by controlling the speed of the compressor turbine. For additional
information, refer to the description of the Power Lever in this section.
The temperature compensating section alters the fuel flow to compensate
for changes in fuel density and compressor inlet temperature, when fuel
flow must be altered to prevent compressor stall and/or excessive ITT,
especially during engine start.
An integral cutoff valve located at the top of the fuel control unit provides
a means of restricting or shutting off fuel flow to the engine. For additional
information, refer to the description of the Fuel Condition Lever in this
section.
In the event that a malfunction occurs in the fuel control unit’s pneumatic
governing system, an override lever on the fuel control unit allows for
Systems

manual control of the engine fuel flow. For addition information, refer to
the description of the Emergency Power Lever in this section.
Metered fuel exiting the fuel control unit passes through the fuel flow
transducer and enters the flow divider, which schedules the flow between
the primary and secondary fuel manifolds.

FUEL FLOW TRANSDUCER


The fuel required to meet the power lever input request to the engine
passes from the fuel control unit, through the fuel flow transducer, to the
flow divider/dump valve on the engine.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 7_83


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS

Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

Fuel flow turns the transducer’s internal wheel. The wheel rotations are
translated into electrical pulses, which are sent to the G1000® to be
adjusted by a calibration factor, then displayed on the Engine and Fuel EIS
pages.
The calibration factor is determined by the specific fuel flow transducer
installed on the aircraft and is entered into the G1000® during
maintenance. A properly calibrated fuel flow transducer is an accurate
method for determining how much fuel is being consumed by the engine.
The G1000® weight and balance calculations use the fuel flow transducer
input to determine the fuel range circle displayed on the MFD. Refer
to the Garmin G1000® Pilot’s Guide for the Quest KODIAK® 100 for
more information on the indication. Fuel flow can periodically (or after
maintenance) be checked for accuracy by comparing the performance of
the engine to the takeoff and cruise performance values found in "Section
5" of this manual.

CAUTION: Although a properly calibrated fuel flow transducer is an


accurate method to determine fuel consumption, it does not account for
fuel loss due to a system leak, loss of or improperly installed fuel filler cap,
errors due to EMI, or other extraneous items.

FLOW DIVIDER AND DUMP VALVE


The flow divider is mounted on the fuel inlet manifold adapter located at
the six o’clock position on the gas generator case.
Metered fuel from the fuel control unit passes through the fuel flow
transducer and enters the flow divider, which schedules the flow between
the primary and secondary fuel manifolds as required during startup and
aircraft operation.
At engine shutdown, when the fuel condition lever is moved to the
CUTOFF position, the dump valve on the flow divider moves to the closed
position and the remaining fuel in the fuel manifold is allowed to drain
into the EPA‑Can.

FUEL MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY


The fuel manifold assembly consists of a primary and secondary fuel
manifold. Each manifold contains fuel nozzle adapters interconnected by
paired transfer tubes that encircle the exterior of the gas generator case
and deliver fuel to the combustion chamber.
Systems

During engine start, metered fuel is delivered initially to the primary fuel
nozzles. The secondary fuel nozzles are enabled above a preset value. All
of the fuel nozzles become operative at and above idle power.

OIL/FUEL RESERVOIR(S) AND EJECTOR


An oil/fuel reservoir(s) (EPA‑Can) is mounted on the lower left portion
of the firewall or directly to the lower cowling. This reservoir(s) collects
anticipated engine oil seepage from seals and pads and residual fuel
discharge from the fuel manifold.

7_84 Pilot’s Operating Handbook


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
® ®
Section 7
100 S E R I E S AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
The reservoir(s) should be drained prior to the first flight of the day and
at intervals not exceeding three engine shutdowns. A drain valve(s) on
the bottom left side of the engine cowling allows the reservoir(s) to be
drained easily into a suitable container for proper disposal.

NOTE: If the fuel and oil residuals are not drained on a regular basis, the
contents will flow overboard through the engine breather ejector mast.

DRAIN VALVES
Depending on the configuration for the oil/fuel reservoir(s), a total of ten
or eleven drain valves are installed on the airplane.
A combination of nine drain valves are located on the lower portion
of the wings near the root, on the lower surface of the fuselage, and
at the firewall-mounted fuel filter. These drain valves provide a means
for the examination of fuel in the system, for proper grade and signs of
contamination.

CAUTION: Prolonged storage of the airplane will result in a buildup of


water in the fuel tank, which leaches out additives (anti-icing, etc.). This
condition is indicated by excessive amounts of water accumulating in the
fuel tank sumps. For information regarding fuel additive concentrations,
refer to "Section 1"of this manual.

Based on the oil/fuel reservoir(s) configuration, an additional one or two


drain valves may be found on the lower left side of the cowling. These
valves are for draining the oil/fuel reservoir(s) to prevent overflow of oil
seepage and residual fuel from the engine onto the ground.
The wing tank drain valves, fuel bladder drain valve, fuselage fuel line
low spot drain valves, and cowl-mounted oil/fuel reservoir drain valve
(if equipped) are constructed in such a way that a screwdriver (or similar
tool) may be used to depress the valve and release fuel. For normal fuel
sampling from the drain valves, the valve merely needs to be pushed in to
draw enough fuel from the sumps as required for sampling purposes. For
draining larger quantities of fuel, the valve should be pushed in, and then
twisted either direction to lock it in the open position.
The fuel filter drain valve consists of a drain pipe that can be depressed
upward to drain fuel from the filter.
Systems

Fuel Sampling
Prior to each flight and following each refueling, use a clear sampler and
drain fuel from all nine fuel drain valves to determine if contamination
is present in the fuel system and to verify the aircraft was fueled with
the proper fuel. If contamination is present, repeatedly take samples
from all nine of the fuel drain valves until all of the contamination has
been removed. If after repeated sampling there is still evidence of
contamination, the fuel tanks must be completely drained and the fuel
system must be cleaned. DO NOT fly the aircraft with contaminated or
unapproved fuel.

7–14 BRAKE SYSTEM


The airplane is equipped with single disc, hydraulically-actuated brakes
on each main landing gear wheel. Each brake is connected, via a hydraulic
line, to a master cylinder attached to each of the pilot’s rudder pedals.
Since the rudder pedals are interconnected, the brakes may be operated
by applying pressure to the upper portion of either the pilot’s or front
passenger’s rudder pedals. A single clear acrylic brake fluid reservoir is
installed on the forward left side of the firewall and provides additional
brake fluid for both brake master cylinders. The reservoir has a placard
attached to the side that indicates the proper level.
When the airplane is parked, the parking brake maybe set by applying
brake pressure and pulling the parking brake handle aft. The parking
brake handle is installed on the lower portion of the instrument panel, in
front of the pilot seat, just below the control yoke. A parking brake release
button is located on the face of the parking brake handle. To release the
parking brake, press and hold the release button in and push the handle
forward completely.
The brake system should be properly maintained to ensure maximum
brake life. The KODIAK® is equipped with metallic brake linings which have
different brake maintenance techniques from brakes with organic linings.
When conditions permit, hard application of the brakes is beneficial
in that the resulting higher brake temperatures tend to maintain the
proper brake glazing and will actually prolong the life expectancy of the
brakes. Conversely, consistent light and conservative brake application is
detrimental to the metallic-type brakes.
Some of the symptoms of impending brake failure are: a gradual decrease
in braking action when applying brake pressure, noisy or dragging
brakes, a soft or spongy feel to the brake pedals, and excessive travel with
weak braking action. If any of these conditions exist, the brake system
needs immediate servicing. If braking action decreases during taxi or
landing rollout, release pressure on the brake pedals and the re-apply the
brakes with heavy pressure. If the brakes become spongy or pedal travel
increases, pumping the brakes should build‑up brake pressure. If one
brake becomes weak or fails completely, use light brake pressure on the
effective brake while applying opposite rudder pedal input, as required, to
offset the turning tendency produced by the good brake.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Protection of the electrical system in the airplane is provided by the design
of the systems, wiring, fuses, circuit breakers, relays, and switches.

Circuit Breakers
Push/Pull circuit breakers are used in the airplane to protect the wiring
if an overload were to occur, to reset some systems, or to shed load as
required during a component or system failure. Circuit breakers that are
permitted to be reset in‑flight are located on the aft face of the Control
Pedestal (between the two front seats in the airplane). Should an
overload occur in any circuit, the corresponding circuit breaker will trip,
causing an “open” in the circuit. After allowing the circuit breaker to cool
for approximately three minutes, it may be reset (pushed in). If the circuit
breaker repeatedly trips when reset, there is likely a fault in the system and
the circuit breaker should be left in the open (pulled) position.

WARNING: Verify all circuit breakers are engaged (IN) prior to making
any flight. Never operate the aircraft with disengaged (OUT) circuit
breakers without a thorough knowledge of the problem and possible
consequences.

The MCU houses two circuit breakers. The Generator field circuit breaker is
located on the outboard side. The battery hot bus circuit breaker is located
on the inboard side of the MCU. When open (pulled), it will prevent the
Flight Hobbs Meter, Engine Heat Relay, and, when the battery master
switch is OFF, the aft cargo door light switch (just forward of the cargo
door) from operating.
There are a series of circuit breakers located on the aft side of the forward
evaporator box between the two front seats. If equipped with side kick
panels, the pilot side kick panel includes a small access cover secured
with hook/loop tape and a lanyard that can be temporarily pulled loose
to verify the condition of the circuit breakers (and fuses) located on the
evaporator prior to flight.
One additional circuit breaker is located on the flap gearbox/controller
and trips if a flap asymmetry condition is detected and is not resettable
during flight.

Fuses
Systems

Cabin heaters (if equipped) are protected by fuses located on the aft side
of the forward evaporator box between the two front seats. Although not
replaceable during flight, spare fuses are installed in either positions one
(1) and two (2) or positions nine (9) and eleven (11).
An additional 12 fuses are installed in the airframe:
• F1 protects the Essential Bus and is powered from Main Bus 1. It’s
located inside the control pedestal.
• F2 protects the Essential Bus and is powered from the alternator
and Battery #2. It’s located inside the control pedestal.

7–17 CABIN HEAT, VENTILATION, DEFROST, AND AIR


CONDITIONING
The Environmental Control System (ECS) for the aircraft consists of
forward cabin bleed air heat/defrost, aft cabin electric heat, and a forced
air ventilation system. All environmental control systems are activated
and controlled through a touch screen located on the instrument panel
below the right audio panel. The control head receives input information
from the operator and the electronic control unit displays the information.
Fault codes will also be displayed on the LCD screen for troubleshooting
purposes.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) receives input data from the
environmental control systems and controls the environmental systems
accordingly.
All environmental control systems are activated and controlled through
a touch screen display located on the instrument panel below the right
audio panel. This touch screen controller/display receives signals from the
two thermostats in the cabin. The operator sets the desired temperature
using the temperature selector and the controller will activate either
the blower or the heat as appropriate to maintain the set temperatures
within five (5) degrees. If no air conditioning is installed, the system will
continue to activate the blowers, but may not be able to maintain the set
temperature.
The Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor for the Environmental Control
System (ECS) is located in the fresh air inlet on the right side of the cowling
and is exposed to ambient airflow. The sensor continually measures the
temperature of the air entering the cabin, setting a basic variable for
temperature regulation within the aircraft.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM


The Automatic Climate Control System (ACCS) used in the KODIAK® 100
is a fully automatic system with manual operation capabilities. The
operator may choose between manual or automatic operation, and the
system offers 11 choices for heater and air conditioning blower speed.
Air distribution and temperature regulation is accomplished with a
combination of air distribution actuator position, blower speed setting,
and the use of either fresh, engine bleed, recirculated air, or cold air.
Additionally, the heater temperature door actuator utilizes a feedback
Systems

potentiometer. These actuators move the air distribution doors to the


proper position according to information sent by the ECU.
When the NAV light switch is placed in the ON position, the backlight on
the ACCS panel display dims.
When in the ON position, the Air Conditioning (AC) switch (if equipped),
indicates that the compressor is available if the ACCS determines that its
operation is required. Pressing the switch “toggles” the AC ON and OFF.

FORWARD CABIN (COCKPIT) HEAT AND DEFROST


Forward cabin heat and defrost is provided through bleed air from the
Systems

engine, mixed with fresh air from the outside of the aircraft, or recycled
air from the cabin (depending on what source would provide the best air
for the function being performed). During heater operation, heated air
is distributed approximately 90% to the floor ducts, with the remaining
air being diverted to the windscreen defrost ducts. When the Defrost
mode is selected, the majority of the air is distributed to the windscreen.
Temperature selection on the ECS touch screen regulates the temperature
of the defrost air.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 7_105


DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
® ®
Section 7
AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS 100 SERIES

NOTE: The temperature of the defrost air can only be reduced to the
ambient levels since the air conditioning is not active during the heat or
defrost modes.

An emergency firewall fresh air shutoff valve is provided for shutting


off the supply of fresh air forward of the firewall. The valve is controlled
by a red knob located on the instrument panel just below the right
control yoke. To shut off the supply of firewall forward fresh-air to the
cabin, pull the red knob out fully. The knob may also be pulled out slightly
to decrease the amount of fresh air entering the system. This allows for
a warmer outlet temperature for operating in cold environments. For
airplanes equipped with a bleed air silencer, push the knob all the way in
(open) for normal operation of the bleed air heat system.

AFT CABIN (PASSENGER) HEAT (IF EQUIPPED)


When additional heat is required in the aft cabin, the flight crew may
select the operation of individual electric heaters located in the side
panels of the aft cabin. Each heater can be individually activated as
necessary, by accessing the Heater zone section of the Temperature
Configuration display. These heaters are not subject to temperature
regulation by the ACCS - they are either selected as ON or OFF.

CABIN VENTILATION
Cabin ventilation is provided through two external fresh air inlets. One
inlet is located on the right side of the engine cowling and the other is
located on the right side of the dorsal fin, just forward of the vertical tail.
Each source of ventilation contains a blower unit to provide forced air
primarily for ground operations.
Air is distributed throughout the cockpit and cabin via rigid and flexible
ducting. The amount distributed to each individual is controlled by vents
with eyeball valves.

AIR CONDITIONING (VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM) (IF EQUIPPED)


When air conditioning is necessary, the aft and/or forward evaporator
blowers are actuated and air is distributed through the overhead ceiling
console vents in the aft cabin, and through the instrument panel vents
and foot well vents in the forward cockpit.
The air conditioning compressor will be commanded ON or OFF
based upon the temperature needed in the cockpit area. If the cockpit
Systems

temperature setting does not need the AC, then the compressor is shutoff
and is NOT available for the aft cabin (even if the set temperature for the
aft cabin is lower than the current temperature).

cabin.
Oxygen is required to be used by the pilot for flight time in excess of
30 minutes above 12,500 feet and above 14,000 feet for the duration of
the flight above 14,000 feet. If climbing to an altitude where oxygen is
required, it is recommended that at approximately 10,000 feet, the pilot
should begin using oxygen. Passengers are required to be supplied with
oxygen above 15,000 feet.

NOTE: When the oxygen tank pressure drops below 400 psi, the green
“400 psi” light will go out, and the red “empty” light will go ON. The red
light indicates oxygen tank pressure below 400 psi.

OXYGEN REGULATOR/BOTTLE ASSEMBLY


The regulator/bottle assembly is located in the aft fuselage and may
be accessed by removing the aft bulkhead panel or door (if equipped).
Depending upon the configuration, a 50 cubic foot or a 115 cubic foot
bottle may serve the standard 2-place oxygen system, and a 115 cubic
foot bottle is used for the 10-place oxygen system. The bottles consist of a
composite wrapped construction and are manufactured to DOT-3AL/2015
with a maximum cylinder pressure of 1850 PSI at room temperature
(24°C (76°F)). The high pressure side of the regulator includes the charging
valve, pressure gauge, pressure transducer, and the overpressure burst
disc assembly. The low pressure side of the regulator includes a valve
assembly for reducing bottle pressure to low pressure for distribution.
An ON/OFF switch is provided on the oxygen display panel to electrically
activate, through a solenoid, the valve assembly for turning ON and
OFF the flow of oxygen to the cabin low pressure dispensing systems.
A pressure transducer is attached to the high pressure manifold of the
regulator. This pressure transducer is electrically connected to the oxygen
control panel pressure indication.

COCKPIT DISPLAY/CONTROLLER
The control panel/display pressure indication indication shows bottle
oxygen pressure, which is directly related to the quantity of oxygen
available for use. The cockpit display allows the pilot to monitor the
system performance and oxygen quantity. The display/control includes a
two-position master switch with ON/OFF modes. The ON position engages
the regulator solenoid to enable use of the oxygen system; bottle pressure
is displayed on the indicator when the switch is in the ON position. The
OFF position disengages the solenoid which shuts off the supply of
oxygen to the cabin outlets and nothing will be displayed on the gauge.
The O2 REQ’D LED will light when the aircraft is at a pressure altitude
greater than 12,000 feet until the oxygen system is turned ON.
The fault LED annunciation light indicates potential problems with the
oxygen system directly relating to the delivery of oxygen to the cabin.
A steady light indicates low power (below 4.0 Volts) to the system or
possible grounding/shorting conditions. When a steady fault indication
is present, the system is disabled and will not reset until power is cycled
to the controller. A flashing FAULT LED indication specifies an oxygen
pressure fault to the distribution manifold.

NOTE: When the system is first engaged, the FAULT light may briefly flash
until proper pressure is sensed at the overhead distribution manifold. This
is normal, as pressure may bleed off when not in use.

NOTE: In the event of an electrical failure on Main Bus 2, oxygen will


remain ON in the cabin. Aircraft electrical power is required ONLY to turn
the System ON and OFF. The system is designed to remain ON during an
electrical failure, but oxygen quantity indication will be lost. Disconnecting
the lines from the manifold will prevent the free flow of oxygen in the
cabin.

OXYGEN LINES AND OUTLETS
Low pressure oxygen lines are routed, above the headliner, from the low
pressure port off of the regulator to the cabin area where the dispensing
systems are attached to deliver the supplemental oxygen. Oxygen outlet
ports are installed in the aircraft’s headliner. Depending on what option is
installed either two or ten ports may be provided. To engage the mask into
the outlet, simply align the bayonet plug with the slots in the outlet, press
the plug completely into the outlet and rotate the plug clockwise a ¼ turn
and ensure the plug locks in place. To remove the plug from the outlet,
press the plug in and rotate it counterclockwise a ¼ turn and remove it
from the outlet.

FILLER PORT
The oxygen filler port is attached directly to the bottle regulator and can
be accessed by removing the aft bulkhead panel or door (if equipped). A
pressure gauge is provided on the bottle/regulator assembly for reference
while servicing the oxygen system.

OVERPRESSURE BURST ASSEMBLY


To prevent the high pressure side of the oxygen system from reaching
a dangerously high value, an emergency burst assembly is provided
which dumps the oxygen overboard if the pressure reaches 3000 PSI. This
assembly utilizes a single burst disk mounted in the regulator assembly.
The burst disk will bleed all the oxygen into the aft fuselage and overboard
if high pressure fails the disk due to over-filling or pressure increases
due to extreme temperature changes. If the burst assembly releases the
oxygen no oxygen will be available for flight.

OXYGEN MASKS
All masks have attached placarding for the proper method of donning,
use, and safety precautions. When using nasal cannula devices, breathing
exclusively through the mouth, extremely light breathing, or nasal
blockage will inhibit proper flow of oxygen.

WARNING: Do not handle or use oxygen when wearing lipstick, lip balm,
petroleum jelly, or any other product containing oil or grease. These
substances become highly flammable in oxygen rich environments.
Systems

NOTE: Breathing through the nose, and limiting conversations is required


in order to achieve proper oxygenation when using nasal cannula
breathing devices.

PREFLIGHT TESTING
Verify the oxygen valve opens and the system delivers appropriate low
pressure oxygen by checking the system annunciations on the oxygen
control panel. The low pressure reading should be in the green—normal
operating range. Verify the appropriate quantity of oxygen is available for
the flight. Verify the proper flow of oxygen is delivered to each mask prior
to the flight. When the preflight check of the oxygen system is complete,
the oxygen system may be turned OFF and then turned back ON as
required during flight.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE


When departing on a flight which requires the use of supplemental
oxygen, brief any passengers on the proper method of donning masks,
adjusting flowmeters, and connecting the mask line to the oxygen outlet.

EN ROUTE
Check the flowmeter at intervals of less than every 10 minutes to ensure
proper settings. The flowmeter must be held vertically when adjusting
flow rate or reading. The reading is taken at the midpoint of the ball.
The pilot and the passengers should limit their conversation to conserve
oxygen. When wearing either a face mask or a cannula, the user should
breathe through their nose for most effective use of the oxygen.

SYSTEM SHUTDOWN
To turn the oxygen system off, place the oxygen control switch in the OFF
position. Leave the flow-meters open until the low pressure side is relieved
(in approximately 5-10 seconds) and stow the lines, flow-meters, and
masks in a safe place.

NOTE: The master switch must be in the ON position to actuate the


oxygen regulator solenoid (to the ON or OFF position).

CAUTION: If the oxygen control switch is left in the ON position when


the master switch is turned OFF, the regulator will remain open and
oxygen will flow out of the masks until the bottle is emptied.

7–19 PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM


The pitot-static system supplies dynamic (ram) pressure to the airspeed
indicator and static pressure to the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and
vertical speed indicator. Refer to the Flight Deck and Instrumentation
descriptions in this section for additional information.
The system contains dual heated pitot-static tubes mounted on the
leading edge of each wing, two Air Data Computers (ADC), and the
associated plumbing required to connect the instruments to their sources.
Each system works independent of the other. The left pitot-static routes to
ADC #1 and the right pitot-static routes to ADC #2.
Ram air enters the pitot tube and is routed through lines to the airspeed
indicator and the air data computers. Static pressure is routed from the
static ports on the probes through lines to the altimeter, the air data
computers, and the airspeed indicators.
When the pitot-static heat is turned ON, the element in the pitot-static
tube is heated electrically to allow proper operation in potential and
actual icing conditions. Refer to the Icing Equipment description in this
section for additional information on pitot-static heat.
On airplanes equipped with an airspeed switch, the pitot system is used to
activate the flight Hobbs meter and the flap/trim compensation system.
Refer to the Flight and Block Time Hobbs Meters and the Automatic
Trim System descriptions in this section for additional information.
A pitot drain valve and a static drain valve (one for each system) are
located on the cabin sidewall, just forward of each crew door. These drain
valves are located at the low point of each system and provide a drain
point for each system. To operate the drain valve, simply press the spring-
loaded valve upward, and any moisture trapped at the low point of the
system will drain out.

AIR DATA COMPUTER


An Air Data Computer (ADC) for the Garmin G1000® system is installed
behind each PFD. The left unit is powered by the Essential Bus. The right
unit is powered by the Avionics Bus.
The Air Data Computer receives the standard inputs from the pitot-static
system as well as Outside Air Temperature (OAT) inputs from the probes
located on top of the fuselage. The ADC allows the system to automatically
perform most E6B calculations including true airspeed, winds aloft and
density altitude.

7–20 STALL WARNING SYSTEM

SERIAL NUMBERS 100-0001 THROUGH 100-0042 (WITHOUT TKS)


For the serial numbers listed above, the aircraft is equipped with a
vane‑type stall warning sensor, installed in the leading edge of the
left wing. The vane is connected to a stall warning horn located in the
overhead panel above the pilot seat. The vane in the wing senses the
change in airflow over the wing occurring at or near stall. The warning
horn will activate at airspeeds between 5 and 10 knots above the stall in
all airplane configurations for wings level unaccelerated stalls.
The stall warning system should be checked during the preflight
inspection of the aircraft by actuating the vane in the wing while the
battery master switch is ON. The system is functioning properly if the
warning horn sounds as the vane is pushed upward.
The stall warning system is protected by a circuit breaker labeled STALL
WARN. The circuit breaker may be pulled to deactivate the stall warning
horn should the vane stick in the ON position.

SERIAL NUMBERS 100-0043 AND UP OR TKS-EQUIPPED PLANES


For the serial numbers listed above, and for airplanes equipped with the
TKS Ice Protection System, the airplane has a Safe Flight Lift Transducer
Stall Warning system which consists of a lift transducer mounted on the
left wing and a stall warning computer which is mounted overhead in the
forward cabin, above the left pilot’s seat, along with a stall warning horn.
The stall warning computer monitors the signal from the vane and the
flap position signal and schedules the stall warning to provide consistent
warning margins to the stall regardless of the flap setting. The flap 0°
setting is on one schedule and flaps 10°-35° are on a separate schedule.
This provides approximately 6 KCAS of stall warning margin at all flap
settings.
The vane and sensor unit in the leading edge of the wing is equipped
with a heating element which is only activated in aircraft which have the
optional TKS Ice Protection System installed. For information regarding the
heating element, refer to the TKS Ice Protection System supplement.
The airplane is equipped with a weight on wheels switch. This switch
prevents the stall warning horn from sounding while performing ground
operations.
The Safe Flight Lift Transducer Stall Warning system is equipped with a
Systems

press-to-test button which will test functionality of the system during any
phase of operation. The press-to-test button is located on the left side of
the pilot's‑side instrument panel. If the system is functioning normally
and the press-to-test is engaged, for a minimum of five seconds, the
stall warning horn will sound. If the stall warning horn is not heard while
pressing the press-to-test button, the Safe Flight Lift Transducer Stall
Warning system is not functioning properly and is considered inoperative.

7–21 ICING EQUIPMENT


The aircraft is standard equipped with dual heated pitot/static tubes and
an inertial separator for the engine inlet. Both left and right pitot/static
heat are protected by separate circuit breakers (Labeled: LEFT PITOT HEAT
and RIGHT PITOT HEAT) and are controlled by individual switches located
on the right switch panel. The inertial separator is controlled by a two
position switch labeled ENG INLET. The switch places the inertial separator
in bypass when it is moved up to the BYPASS position and places it in the
normal condition when moved down to the NORMAL switch position.
The pitot heat should be turned ON anytime the outside air temperature
is less than 5°C (41°F) and visible moisture is present to prevent the
formation of ice on the probes. As required by Federal Regulations, amber
annunciation is provided to notify the pilot when the pitot heat is turned
OFF and the OAT is less than 5°C (41°F). The annunciation is displayed
through the G1000® as follows: PITOT OFF L–R
Also, PITOT FL L–R annunciation is provided through the G1000® to alert
the pilot if the pitot heat switch is turned ON but no current is getting to
the pitot/static heating element. A current sensing device, located behind
the right switch panel, detects current flow in the system. If a pitot heat
switch is placed in the ON position and no current is flowing in the circuit,
PITOT FL L–R will be shown on the PFD.
Refer to the Pitot-Static System description in this section for additional
information.
The inertial separator should be placed in BYPASS prior to operating the
engine when visible moisture is present (clouds, rain, snow, ice crystals,
etc.) with outside air temperatures below 5°C (41°F). The inertial separator
system may also be used for ground operations or takeoffs from dusty,
sandy field conditions to minimize the ingestion of foreign particles and
debris into the compressor. The NORMAL position should be used for all
other operations.
An advisory annunciation is provided through the G1000® to indicate
whether the inertial particle separator system is in the NORMAL or BYPASS
position as follows:
ENG INLET NORM
ENG INLET BP
Refer to the Inertial Particle Separator System description in this section
for additional information.

Navigation information is referenced to the WGS-84 reference system.

GNSS (GPS/SBAS) NAVIGATION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS


The flight crew must confirm at system initialization that the navigation
database is current. The navigation database is expected to be current for
the duration of the flight. If the AIRAC cycle will change during the flight,
the flight crew must ensure the accuracy of the navigation data, including
suitability of navigation facilities used to define the routes and procedures
for flight. If an amended chart affecting navigation data is published for
the procedure, the database must not be used to conduct the procedure.
GPS/SBAS based IFR en route, oceanic, and terminal navigation is
prohibited unless the flight crew verifies and uses a valid, compatible, and
current navigation database or verifies each waypoint for accuracy by
reference to current approved data.
Discrepancies that invalidate a procedure must be reported to Garmin
International. The affected procedure is prohibited from being flown
using data from the navigational database until a new navigation
database is installed in the aircraft and verified that the discrepancy has
been corrected. Navigation database discrepancies can be reported at
FlyGarmin.com, then select “Aviation Data Error Report”. Flight crew and
operators can view navigation data base alerts at FlyGarmin.com then
Systems

select “NavData Alerts”.


For flight planning purposes, in areas where SBAS coverage is not
available, the flight crew must check RAIM availability.
• Within the United States, RAIM availability can be determined
using the Garmin WFDE (WAAS RAIM/FDE) Prediction program,
(part number 006-A0154-01 [included in G1000® trainer] software
version 3.00 or later approved version with GARMIN GA36 and
GA37 anntennas selected), or the FAA’s en route and terminal RAIM
prediction website: www.raimprediction.net, or by contacting a
Flight Service Station.

• Within Europe, RAIM availability can be determined using the
Garmin WFDE Prediction program or Europe’s AUGER GPS RAIM
Prediction Tool at http://augur.ecacnav.com/augur/app/home.
• For other areas, use the Garmin WFDE Prediction program.
This RAIM availability requirement is not necessary if SBAS coverage is
confirmed to be available along the entire route of the flight. The route
planning and WFDE prediction program may be downloaded from the
GARMIN website on the internet. For information on using the WFDE
Prediction Program, refer to GARMIN WAAS FDE Prediction Program part
number 190-00643-01, ‘WFDE Prediction Program Instructions’.
For flight planning purposes, when operating within the U.S. National
Airspace System on RNP and RNAV procedures and SBAS signals are not
available, you must confirm the availability of GPS RAIM for the intended
route of flight. In the event of a predicted continuous loss of RAIM of
more than five minutes for any part of the intended route of flight, the
flight should be delayed, canceled, or rerouted on a track where RAIM
requirements can be met.
For flight planning purposes, operations within European B-RNAV/RNAV‑5
and P-RNAV airspace, if more than one satellite is scheduled to be out
of service, then the availability of GPS RAIM shall be confirmed for the
intended flight (route and time). In the event of a predicted continuous
loss of RAIM of more than five minutes for any part of the intended flight,
the flight should be delayed, canceled, or rerouted on a track where RAIM
requirements can be met.
For flight planning purposes on operations where the route requires Class
II navigation, the aircraft’s operator or flight crew must use the Garmin
WFDE Prediction program to demonstrate that there are no outages
on the specified route that would prevent the Garmin GNSS navigation
system from providing GPS Class II navigation in oceanic and remote areas
of operation that requires RNP-10 or RNP-4 capability. If the Garmin WFDE
Prediction program indicates fault exclusion (FDE) will be unavailable for
more than 34 minutes in accordance with FAA Order 8400.12B for RNP-10
requirements, or 25 minutes in accordance with FAA Order 8400.33 for
RNP-4 requirements, then the operation must be rescheduled when FDE is
available.
Both Garmin GPS navigation receivers must be operating and providing
GPS navigation guidance to their respective PFD for operations requiring
RNP-4 performance.
North Atlantic (NAT) Minimum Navigational Performance Specifications
Systems

(MNPS) Airspace operations per AC 91-49 and AC 120-33 require both


GPS/SBAS receivers to be operating and receiving usable signals except
for routes requiring only one Long Range Navigation sensor. Each display
computes an independent navigation solution based on the on-side GPS
sensor. However, either display will automatically revert to the cross-side
sensor if the on-side sensor fails or the cross-side sensor is determined to
be more accurate. [On G1000® installations a “BOTH ON GPS1” or “BOTH

Whenever possible, RNP and RNAV routes, including Standard Instrument


Departures (SIDs), Standard Terminal Arrivals (STARs), and en route RNAV
“Q” and RNAV “T” routes, should be loaded into the flight plan from the
database in their entirety, rather than loading route waypoints from
the database into the flight plan individually. Selecting and inserting
individual named fixes from the database is permitted, provided all fixes
along the published route to be flown are inserted. Manual entry of
waypoints using latitude/longitude or place/bearing is prohibited.
“GPS”, “or GPS”, and “RNAV (GPS)” instrument approaches using the Garmin
navigation systems are prohibited unless the flight crew verifies and uses
the current navigation database. GPS based instrument approaches must
be flown in accordance with an approved instrument approach procedure
that is loaded from the navigation database.
Not all published Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) are in the
navigation database. Flight crew planning on flying an RNAV instrument
approach must ensure that the navigation database contains the planned
RNAV Instrument Approach Procedure and that approach procedure must
be loaded from the navigation database into the FMS flight plan by its
name.
IFR non-precision approach approval using the GPS/SBAS sensor is
limited to published approaches within the U.S. National Airspace
System. Approaches to airports in other airspace are not approved unless
authorized by the appropriate governing authority.
The navigation equipment required to join and fly an instrument approach
procedure is indicated by the title of the procedure and notes on the
IAP chart. Use of the Garmin GPS/SBAS receivers to provide navigation
guidance during the final approach segment of an ILS, LOC, LOC-BC,
LDA, SDF, MLS, or any other type of approach not approved for “or GPS”
navigation is prohibited. When using the Garmin VOR/LOC/GS receivers
to fly the final approach segment, VOR/LOC/GS navigation data must be
selected and presented on the CDI of the pilot flying the aircraft.
Navigation information is referenced to the WGS-84 reference system,
and should only be used where the Aeronautical Information Publication
(including electronic data and aeronautical charts) conform to WGS-84 or
equivalent.

8–2 AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS


14 CFR Part 91.409 requires that all aircraft must undergo a thorough
annual inspection, meeting the requirements set forth in 14 CFR Part 43.
Annual inspections are based upon calendar months and are due on
the last day of the twelfth month, following the last annual inspection
accomplished. For example, if an annual inspection was performed
on May 19, 2005, the next annual inspection will be due May 31, 2006.
Annual inspections must be accomplished regardless of the number of
hours it was flown in the previous year and may only be performed by a
licensed Airframe and Power Plant (A&P) mechanic holding an Inspection
Authorization (IA). All Quest Authorized Service Centers are capable of
performing annual inspections. The inspection items are outlined, in
detail, in Chapter 5 of the KODIAK® 100 Airplane Maintenance Manual.
If the airplane is operated commercially, the regulations require the
airplane to undergo a 100–Hour inspection for every 100 hours of
flight operation, in addition to the annual inspection. The 100–Hour
inspection may be performed by an A&P mechanic without an Inspection
Authorization. The 100–Hour interval may be exceeded by no more than
10 flight hours in order to reach a location where the inspection may be
performed. Any flight hours used to reach the location of inspection must
be deducted from the next 100–Hour interval.
In place of the 100–Hour and Annual inspection requirements, an airplane
may be inspected in accordance with a progressive inspection schedule.
A progressive inspection program must be approved by the FAA Flight
Standards District Office (FSDO), having jurisdiction over the area in which
the applicant is located.

PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION PROGRAM


Under the Progressive Inspection Program, your airplane is inspected
and maintained in four basic operations. The four operations are recycled
every 400 hours and are recorded in a special Aircraft Inspection Logbook
as each operation is accomplished.
Quest Aircraft Company recommends the Progressive Inspection Program
for aircraft being operated for more than 400 hours per year and the
100‑Hour/Annual Inspection for all other aircraft. The procedures for the
Progressive Inspection Program and the 100–Hour inspection have been
determined by the factory and are followed by Quest Aircraft Company
KODIAK® 100 Service Stations. The highest level of service is attained by
Quest Approved Service Stations utilizing factory/approved procedures,
tools, and equipment.

ENGINE CONDITION TREND MONITORING


Pratt & Whitney Canada’s New Generation Engine Condition Trend
Monitoring System is a system of recording engine instrument readings,
Service

correcting the readings for ambient conditions, and comparing actual


engine operation to typical engine operating characteristics.

8–3 ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS


It is important that the FAA is contacted prior to any alterations on the
airplane, to ensure that the airworthiness is not violated. Major alterations
or repairs to the airplane must be accomplished by FAA authorized
personnel.

8–4 GROUND HANDLING

TOWING
The airplane is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand with the tow
bar attached to the nose wheel. The tow bar may be stowed in the aircraft
cabin baggage compartment. Moving the airplane by hand requires one
individual to steer the airplane with the tow bar, assisted by personnel
pushing at the wing struts.

CAUTION: Do not push or pull the airplane using the propeller blades or
flight control surfaces.

During any towing operation, especially when conducted with assistance


of a powered vehicle, do not exceed the nose gear turning limits of 55°
either side of center, as shown by the steering limit marks.

PARKING
When parking the airplane, face the aircraft into the wind and set the
Service

parking brake. Do not set the parking brake during cold weather, when
accumulated moisture may freeze the brakes, or when the brakes are
overheated. Install the control yoke and rudder gust locks, and chock the

Pilot’s Operating Handbook 8_7

Section 8
HANDLING, SERVICE, & MAINTENANCE 100 SERIES

wheels (if the parking brake is not utilized) to prevent airplane movement.
In severe weather or high wind conditions, secure the airplane as outlined
below:

CAUTION: Any time the airplane is loaded heavily, the footprint


pressure (pressure of the tires on the ramp or runway) will be extremely
high. Surfaces such as hot asphalt or sod may not support the airplane
adequately. Precautions should be taken to avoid parking or moving the
airplane in these areas.

TIE-DOWN
The best precaution against damage to the aircraft when it is parked in
gusty or strong winds is to follow proper tie-down procedures. To securely
tie-down the airplane, proceed with the following directions:
1. If possible, point the aircraft into the wind.
2. Set the parking brake (or chock the wheels).
3. Install the control yoke and rudder gust locks.
4. Set the aileron and elevator trim tabs in the neutral position, so the
tabs are even with the control surfaces.
5. Install the pitot tube cover, if available.
6. Securely attach anchored tie-down ropes or chains to the wing and tail
tie-down fittings.
7. If the last flight of the day has been completed or if dusty conditions
are present or forecasted, install the engine inlet covers to protect the
engine from debris. The covers should be installed after the engine has
cooled.
8. To prevent propeller wind-milling, install the propeller anchor on one
of the propeller blades and secure its anchor strap around the nose
gear.

JACKING
A series of jack adapters are provided as a tool kit for jacking the airplane.
One adapter fits into the drag brace fitting on the fuselage for lifting the
nose gear. Two adapters (one for each main wheel) fit onto the existing
axle assemblies for lifting the main wheels. Two adapters screw onto the
belly of the airplane at the main landing gear carry through structure to
lift the airplane to remove the main landing gear. For airplanes equipped
with an external cargo compartment, two additional adapters are placed
under the outboard aft trunnion bolt and used to jack the airplane.

LEVELING
Longitudinal leveling of the airplane is required for weighing and
Service

determining the empty weight center of gravity. Refer to “Section 6” of


this manual for leveling procedures.

Manual Blending of DIEGME Fuel Anti-Icing Additive

CAUTION: It is extremely important to attain the proper mixture ratio of


anti-icing within the fuel. A concentration in excess of that recommended
(0.15% maximum by volume) will result in detrimental effects to the
fuel tanks. Damage could occur to the fuel system components, such
as deterioration of the protective primer and sealants, and damage to
the O-rings and seals. Use only manufacturer recommended blending
equipment to obtain proper proportioning.

When the airplane is being refueled, use the following procedure to blend
anti-icing additive with fuels not already containing anti-icing additive:
1. Attach the additive to the refueling nozzle; ensure the blender tube
discharges into the refueling stream.
2. Begin refueling while simultaneously fully depressing and slipping the
ring over the trigger of the blender.

CAUTION:
• Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (DIEGME) is combustible. Eye
contact may cause redness, swelling, and irritation. The additive
is toxic if swallowed. Before using this product, refer to all safety
information provided on the container.
• Assure the additive is directed into a stream of flowing fuel. The
stream of fuel must be started prior to introducing anti-icing additive,
and the flow of additive must be stopped prior to ending the flow of
fuel from the refueling nozzle.
• Do not allow the concentrated additive to come in contact with the
coated interior of the fuel tank or painted surfaces of the airplane.
• Do not use less than 20 fluid ounces of additive per 156 gallons of fuel
or more than 20 fluid ounces of additive per 104 gallons of fuel.
• If the fuel additive concentration falls below 0.035% by volume,
the airplane should be defueled and refueled with the proper
concentration level of anti-ice additive prior to flying into any
situation where the ambient temperature falls below 5°C (41°F).

Procedure for Checking Fuel Additive Concentration Levels


Prolonged storage of the airplane will result in a buildup of water in the
fuel tanks which leaches out the additive. This condition is indicated by
excessive amounts of water accumulating in the fuel tank sumps.
Verify anti-icing additive concentration levels by using test equipment
meeting ASTM D5006 specifications for test kits.

WARNING: It is imperative that the instructions for the anti-icing test kit
Service

be followed closely, when checking the concentration level of the additive.

For information regarding appropriate additive concentration by volume


for DIEGME, refer to “Section 1” of this manual.

100 S E R I E S HANDLING, SERVICE, & MAINTENANCE
Fuel Contamination
Contamination in the fuel system is usually caused by the presence
of foreign material such as water, corrosion, sand, dirt, microbes,
bacterial growth, or by additives not compatible with fuel or fuel system
components. An additional threat of contamination has developed with
the increased use of bio-component fuels (commonly referred to as fatty
acid methyl esters, or FAME) in ground-based vehicles, since the same fuel
supply lines and shipping containers used to deliver jet fuel are typically
also used for the transportation of ground-based fuels. FAME fuels are
distinct from traditional ground-based fuels in that they are surface-active
materials that can adhere to pipe and tank walls, and then release from
the walls into the following product, which may be jet fuel.

CAUTION: At high enough concentrations, FAME can impact the thermal


stability of the fuel, leading to coke deposits in the fuel system. FAME
contamination can also impact the freezing point of jet fuel resulting
in gelling of the fuel. These conditions can result in engine operability
problems, and possible engine flameout. Pratt & Whitney Canada has
agreed to accept no more than 5 ppm FAME contamination in jet fuel at
this time. Contact your fuel supplier to verify that they have implemented
quality control and inspection procedures to ensure that the fuel they
deliver does not contain more than 5 ppm of FAME.

NOTE: Refer to FAA Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin


NE‑09‑25R1, “Fuel: Jet Fuel Containing FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),” and
to the Pratt & Whitney Canada Service Information Letter No. GEN-091,
“Jet Fuel Quality,” for more information about FAME contamination.

Headliner and Trim Panels


The airplane interior may be cleaned with a mild detergent or soap and
water. Harsh abrasives, alkaline soaps, or detergents should be avoided.
Solvents and alcohols may damage or discolor vinyl or urethane parts and
should also be avoided. Cover areas where cleaning solutions could cause
damage. Use the following procedures for cleaning the headliners and
trim panels:

CAUTION: Solvent cleaners and alcohol should not be used on interior


surfaces. If cleaning solvents are used on cloth, cover the areas where
cleaning solvents could cause damage.

• Clean the headliner and side panels with a stiff bristle brush, and
vacuum where necessary.
• Soiled upholstery may be cleaned using quality upholstery
cleaner suitable for the type of material. Carefully follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Avoid soaking or harsh rubbing.

Leather Upholstery and Seats


For routine maintenance, leather upholstery should be wiped with a soft,
damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, begin with a solution of mild
detergent and water then, if necessary, utilize one of the more potent
products available from Quest to remove the more stubborn marks and
stains. Do not use soaps, as they contain alkaline which will alter the pH
balance of the leather, causing it to age prematurely. Cover areas that the
cleaning solution could damage. Use the following procedure for cleaning
leather:

CAUTION: Solvent cleaners and alcohol should not be used on leather


upholstery.

• Clean leather upholstery with a soft bristle brush, and vacuum


where necessary.
• Wipe the leather upholstery with a soft, damp cloth.
• Soiled upholstery may be cleaned with the approved products
available from Quest Aircraft Company. Avoid soaking or harsh
rubbing.

WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS

CAUTION:
• When cleaning acrylic or polycarbonate windows, use only solvent-
free, nonabrasive, anti-static cleaners. Do not use gasoline, alcohol,
benzene carbon tetrachloride, thinners, acetone, or glass window
cleaning sprays.
• Never dry rub the surfaces of interior or exterior acrylic or
polycarbonate windows. Dull or scratched windows may be polished
using a special acrylic polishing compound.
• Use only nonabrasive cotton cloth or genuine chamois to clean
acrylic or polycarbonate windows. Newspaper-type products, and
some paper towels, are highly abrasive and will cause fine scratches.

1. Prior to cleaning, allow window surfaces to cool.


2. When cleaning the exteriors of acrylic or polycarbonate windows, rinse
away all dirt particles before applying a cloth or chamois. Remove
grease or oil using a soft cloth saturated with kerosene, then rinse with
clean, fresh water.
3. Using a moist cloth or chamois, gently wipe window surfaces clean of
all contaminates.
4. Apply acrylic/polycarbonate cleaner to one area at a time, then wipe
away with a soft, cotton cloth.
5. Dry the windows using a dry, nonabrasive cotton cloth or chamois.

NOTE:
• Wiping with a circular motion may cause glare rings. Wipe in the
same direction as the normal flow of wind to help prevent this
condition.
• To prevent scratching from dirt accumulated on the cloth, fold the
cloth to expose a clean area after each pass.

ENGINE CARE

Engine Compartment Cleaning


The engine compartment may be cleaned using a suitable solvent. The
most efficient cleaning is accomplished by using a spray-type cleaner.
Prior to performing a spray cleaning, ensure that protection is provided
for components which might be adversely affected by the solvent. Refer
to the KODIAK® 100 Airplane Maintenance Manual of proper lubrication of
controls and components after engine cleaning.

Engine Compressor Wash


Instituting a regular compressor wash program will result in an increase in
performance and service life of the hot section components. A compressor

wash ring is installed on the top of the engine adjacent to the air inlet
screen to facilitate regular washing of the compressor section.
Compressor washes may be performed by motoring the engine with the
starter. Depending on the nature of the operating environment and the type
of deposits in the engine gas path, different compressor wash methods may
be used to remove salt, dirt or other baked-on deposits which accumulate
over a period of time and cause deterioration in engine performance. A
desalination wash is performed solely for the purpose of removing salt
deposits. A performance recovery wash removes baked-on deposits
and improves engine performance. A motoring wash is performed at a
gas generator RPM of 14% Ng. The water, cleaning solution, and rinsing
solution are injected at different pressures, depending on the ambient
temperature and the type of wash method being accomplished.
The frequency and method of washing is determined by the operating
environment. If the aircraft is operated in a continuous salt‑laden
environment, a desalination wash is recommended following the last
flight of the day and should be accomplished as a motoring wash.
Occasional operation in salt‑laden environments may necessitate a
weekly desalination wash accomplished with the motoring method. Less
severe and more general operating environments are not as conducive
to rapid buildup of deposits, but may eventually lead to deterioration in
performance, necessitating a performance recovery wash at intervals of
100-200 hours.
A variety of cleaning agents are recommended for mixing with water to
form the cleaning solution to be used for compressor washes. The mixture
proportion is not identical for all cleaning solutions. Depending on the
prevailing ambient temperature, aviation kerosene and methanol must
be added to the cleaning solution in varying proportions. Quality drinking
water should be used when performing a motoring wash. For more
information concerning compressor washes, refer to the Pratt & Whitney
Canada PT6A-34 Maintenance Manual.

Compressor Turbine Blade Wash


Pratt & Whitney Canada has developed a procedure for performing a
compressor turbine blade motoring wash. This technique facilitates the
removal of contaminants from the compressor turbine blade surfaces,
which increases the blade service life. With this method, a water (or water
and methanol) solution is injected directly into the combustion chamber
through a special spray tube installed in one of the igniter plug ports.
This method of engine wash does not replace the need for accomplishing
regular engine compressor washes for performance recovery or
desalination purposes.
Compressor turbine blade washing is accomplished using potable water
at ambient temperatures of 2°C (36°F) and greater. Water/methanol
solutions may be used at temperatures lower than 2°C (36°F). Refer to
the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 Maintenance Manual for solution

9.1-1 GENERAL
The System Fifty Five X is a rate based autopilot. A turn coordinator hidden
behind the instrument panel provides turn rate. When in control of the roll
axis, the autopilot senses roll/yaw rate, as well as closure rate to the selected
course, and the non-rate quantities of heading error, course error, and course
deviation indication. When in control of the pitch axis, the autopilot senses
vertical speed, acceleration, and closure rate to the selected glideslope,
along with the non-rate quantities of altitude and glideslope deviation
indication. These sensed data provide feedback to the autopilot, which
processes them in order to control the aircraft through the use of servos
coupled to the control system. The roll servo is coupled to the ailerons. The
pitch servo is coupled to the elevator. Activation of roll axis control must
always precede activation of pitch axis control.
The pitch auto-trim function senses when the airplane needs to be trimmed
about the pitch axis and responds by driving the trim servo in the proper
direction to provide trim. The trim servo is coupled to the elevator trim wheel
in the cockpit and thereby to the elevator trim tabs.
The yaw damper senses lateral acceleration at the tail, and responds by
driving the yaw servo in the proper direction to provide damping. The yaw
servo is coupled to the rudder.
Refer to the S-TEC Pilot’s Operating Handbook – Fifty Five X dated
November 30, 2007 or later for full operational procedures and descriptions
of implemented modes. The System 55X POH also contains detailed
procedures for accomplishing GPS and VOR course tracking, front course
and back course localizer approaches, and glideslope tracking.

NO T E : The KODIAK 100 implementation of the System 55X Autopilot

ALTITUDE HOLD MODE


1. Manually fly the airplane to the desired altitude and level off.

NO T E : For the smoothest transition to altitude hold, the airplane rate


of climb or descent should be less than 100 FPM when “Altitude Hold” is
selected.

2. Press HDG or NAV to engage a roll mode. The associated annunciation


will be shown on the G1000 and the autopilot computer.

NO T E : A roll mode must be engaged prior to engaging a pitch mode.

3. Press the ALT button on the autopilot computer. The ALT annunciation
will be shown on the G1000 and the autopilot computer. The autopilot will
hold the present altitude.

NO T E : Do not manually fly the airplane off the selected altitude, as


the autopilot will not disengage altitude hold mode and the autopilot will
command a pitch change to recapture the altitude when the control input
is released. Also, the automatic trim will run while manually flying off the
selected altitude, thus causing the aircraft to be in an out-of-trim condition
when the autopilot is disengaged or the controls are released.

4. The set altitude can be modified by rotating the VS/Modifier knob on the
autopilot computer. Clockwise rotation will increase and counterclockwise
rotation will decrease altitude approximately 20 feet for each “click.” The
maximum adjustment is ±360 feet. Adjustments greater than 360 feet can
be made by selecting VS mode and flying the airplane to the new altitude,
then re-engaging ALT mode at the desired altitude.
VERTICAL SPEED MODE
1. Begin by manually establishing the airplane at the desired vertical speed.
2. Press HDG or NAV to engage a roll mode. The associated annunciation
will be shown on the G1000 and autopilot computer.

NO T E : A roll mode must be engaged prior to engaging a pitch mode.

3. Press the VS button on the autopilot computer to engage the vertical


speed mode. When the mode is engaged, the autopilot will synchronize to
and hold the vertical speed at the time the mode was engaged.

NO T E : The vertical speed is displayed in 100-foot increments at the far


right of the autopilot computer display next to the VS annunciation. A plus
(+) value indicates a climb and a negative (-) value indicates a descent.

100 SERIES S -T EC AU TO PI LOT

4. Vertical speed can be adjusted by rotating the VS knob on the autopilot


computer. Clockwise rotation increases and counterclockwise rotation
decreases the selected rate of climb or descent 100 FPM for each “click.”
The maximum selectable vertical speed is ±3000 FPM.

NO T E : A flashing VS mode annunciator indicates excessive error


between the actual vertical speed and the selected vertical speed (usually
in a climb). The pilot should adjust power or reduce the commanded
vertical speed as appropriate to remove the error. The minimum operating
speed with the autopilot engaged is 100 KIAS.

ALTITUDE PRE-SELECT
1. The G1000 altitude bug may be used to preselect an altitude for the
autopilot to level off. The altitude can be above or below the current
altitude and the vertical speed selected through the autopilot should be
appropriate for the desired altitude change. Once the altitude is selected
using the altitude knobs on the G1000, the altitude and vertical speed
can be coupled by the autopilot by simultaneously pressing the ALT and
VS buttons on the autopilot computer. ALT and VS will be displayed on
the G1000 and the autopilot computer. The ALT annunciation is shown
as white on the G1000 because it is armed, but not active. The VS
annunciation is shown as green on the G1000 because it is active. When
the autopilot captures the selected altitude and levels off, VS disappears
and ALT will be shown as green because it is now the active mode.

NO T E : If an altitude is selected that requires an opposite vertical


speed from that which is selected, the VS annunciation will flash but the
airplane will follow the selected vertical speed and will not level off since
the selected vertical speed is taking the airplane away from the selected
altitude.

2. As the airplane nears the selected altitude, the system automatically


reduces vertical speed command in 100 FPM increments to provide a
smooth and slow transition to the selected altitude.

GPS TRACKING AND GPS APPROACH


1. Ensure the GPS satellite signal and RAIM are available.
2. Ensure the CDI is set to GPS on the G1000.
3. Select the desired course on the HSI and establish a desired intercept
heading.
4. Press the NAV button on the autopilot computer twice. The NAV and
GPSS mode annunciators will illuminate.

NO T E : If the course needle is at full-scale deviation, the autopilot will


establish the airplane on a heading for a 45° intercept with the selected
course. As the airplane approaches the course, the autopilot will smoothly
shallow the intercept angle. The pilot may select an intercept angle other
than the standard 45° by setting the desired intercept heading with the
HDG bug, pressing and holding HDG on the autopilot computer, and then
pressing NAV twice also on the autopilot computer (HDG, NAV and GPSS
will be displayed). When the on-course intercept turn begins, the HDG
mode will disengage and the annunciator will disappear.

NO T E : During the intercept sequence, the autopilot operates at maximum


gain and sensitivity (130% of standard rate turn). When the selected
course is intercepted and the course deviation needle is centered, the
autopilot will transition into course tracking mode. The system will remain
at maximum sensitivity for approximately 15 seconds while the wind
correction angle is established. The maximum turn rate is then reduced
to 45% standard rate. Approximately 60 seconds later, the maximum turn
rate is reduced to 15% standard rate.

5. Use the HDG mode to accomplish procedure turns and holds. Reengage
GPSS to complete the approach when exiting a hold or procedure turn.

CAUT I O N: If HDG mode is not used to accomplish the procedure turn


or hold, and the autopilot is left in GPSS mode, it will intercept the inbound
holding leg course on the CDI and continue to fly that course without
holding as published.

GPS APPROACH (WITH VERTICAL GUIDANCE) (WAAS)


When conducting a WAAS approach with the NAV GPSS mode engaged, the
autopilot will execute the entire lateral approach sequence (i.e., intercept and
track front outbound course, complete procedure turn, intercept and track
front inbound course).

In addition, the autopilot will execute the following vertical approaches:


1. LPV (precision and LNAV/VNAV)
2. LNAV+V (non-precision)

Once on the front inbound course, the NAV APR mode must be engaged
in order to intercept and track either GPS glideslope listed above. The
remainder of the approach should be flown like a Straight-In ILS.

CAUT I O N : The aircraft will not automatically level off at the Decision
Height (DH) or Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA). The pilot must maintain
an awareness of their altitude at all times, and disconnect the autopilot at
DH or MDA for either a landing or Go-Around (GA).

VOR TRACKING AND VOR-LOC APPROACH


1. Begin with a reliable VOR or LOC signal selected on NAV 1 or 2 of the
G1000.
2. Select VOR 1 or 2 as appropriate on the G1000 CDI.
3. Select the desired course on the HSI and establish a desired intercept
heading.
4. Press the NAV button on the autopilot computer. NAV will be annunciated
on the G1000 and the autopilot computer.

NO T E : For station passage, it is recommended to switch to HDG mode


when 1 mile or less from the station with the HDG set as desired to
maintain a steady track on the course.

NO T E : Another method which provides smooth changes in course while


enroute (flying airways) is to program the route as a flight-plan in the
G1000 and utilize the GPSS mode of the autopilot.

5. For increased sensitivity during an approach, press the APR button on the
autopilot computer. Both NAV and APR annunciations will be shown on
the G1000 and the autopilot display.

ILS INTERCEPT AND TRACKING


1. Begin with a reliable ILS signal selected on NAV 1 or NAV 2 of the G1000.
2. Select LOC 1 or 2 as appropriate using the G1000 CDI softkey.
3. Verify the inbound course is selected on the HSI
4. Establish an intercept heading using the G1000 heading bug and the HDG
mode on the autopilot computer.
5. Establish an intercept altitude using the ALT mode of the autopilot.
6. Using the autopilot computer, press and hold HDG and then press APR
(HDG, NAV, APR, and ALT annunciated).
7. Once the aircraft is within 50% needle deflection of the localizer centerline
and more than 10% needle deflection below the glideslope the GS
(glideslope) mode will automatically arm (GS).

NO T E : The armed glideslope mode can be subsequently disabled by


pressing the APR mode selector switch. The GS annunciation will flash
to acknowledge this. To then re-arm the glideslope mode, press the
APR mode selector switch again. The GS annunciation will immediately
extinguish, but reappear after one second.

NO T E : With the glideslope armed, once the aircraft reaches 5%


Glideslope Deviation Indication (GDI) needle deflection below the
glideslope, the ALT annunciation will extinguish to indicate engagement
of the glideslope mode and the Glideslope Mode annunciation will change
from white (armed) to green (active).

NO T E : If the approach positions the aircraft slightly above the glideslope,


then manual engagement of the glideslope mode can be instantly achieved
by pressing the ALT button on the autopilot computer.

CAUT I O N: Manual engagement of the glideslope mode when the


aircraft is positioned above the GS centerline will cause a more aggressive
intercept toward the glideslope. Do not manually engage the glideslope
mode if the glideslope needle deflection is greater than 10% above center.

8. The GS annunciation will flash whenever the needle deflection exceeds


50% or the glideslope signal is lost. If the glideslope signal is lost, the
FAIL annunciation will also be shown.
9. At the decision height or 300 feet AGL (whichever occurs first), disengage
the autopilot to land or execute a missed approach.

YAW DAMPER OPERATION


1. Trim the aircraft for the current phase of flight using the rudder trim switch
located on the control pedestal.
2. Place the yaw damper master switch in the ON or AUTO position. The
AUTO position will engage the yaw damper only if the autopilot is also
engaged.
3. Center the slip skid indication on the G1000 using the Trim Knob on the
yaw damper switch panel.
4. Disengage the yaw damper prior to approach and landing. To disengage
the yaw damper, place the yaw damper master switch in the OFF position.

NO T E : It is recommended that the yaw damper be turned off and the


airplane re-trimmed using the rudder trim switch on the control pedestal
after transitioning to a different phase of flight (climb, cruise, and descent),
and then reengaging the yaw damper. This will help unload the yaw
servo and also prevent an out-of-trim condition when the yaw damper is
disengaged.

NO T E : The yaw damper trim knob is sensitive and only requires small
movements to center the displaced slip/skid indication. The trim feature
is designed to “zero out” the accelerometer. For best results from the yaw
damper, it is recommended to trim the airplane with the yaw damper turned
off using the rudder trim switch on the control pedestal, and then engage
the yaw damper and zero out the yaw damper accelerometer using the yaw
damper trim knob (center the slip/skid indication).

AUTOPILOT
The airplane is equipped with an S-Tec System 55 X two-axis Automatic
Flight Control System (Autopilot). The autopilot programmer/computer is
installed in the instrument panel just below the Multi Function Display.

9.1_20 Pilot’s Operating Handbook Supplement

Section 9

S-Tec Autopilot
100 SERIES S -T EC AU TO PI LOT

The autopilot roll axis uses an inclined gyro in a turn coordinator which
is installed behind the instrument panel and is not visible for use in flight.
The autopilot uses this turn coordinator as the primary turn and roll rate
sensor. In addition to the turn coordinator instrument, the roll axis computer
computes steering commands for turns, navigation intercepts, and tracking.
Roll axis steering is accomplished by autopilot steering commands to the roll
servo which is installed in the left wing.
The pitch computer receives altitude data from the altitude encoder pressure
transducer which is plumbed into the static system, acceleration information
from an accelerometer, and glideslope information from the HSI and both
NAV radios. Pitch axis command for altitude hold, vertical speed hold, and
glideslope tracking is accomplished by pitch computer commands to the
autopilot pitch servo which is installed in the aft fuselage.
The pitch servo contains a switch to engage the pitch trim servo (auto-trim)
whenever the forces at the pitch servo exceed a set value. The auto-trim
function will not work if the trim disconnect switch (located just forward of the
control yoke) is in the disconnect position. The TRIM annunciation flashing
without any movement of the elevator trim wheel would be an indication of
this.
Altitude preselect is provided through the G1000. An altitude may be
selected using the G1000 Altitude Knobs, the selected altitude is shown
in the window and the altitude bug will be positioned along the altitude
tape. The autopilot will automatically level the airplane off at the selected
altitude when both the VS mode is engaged and the ALT mode is armed.
To accomplish this, simultaneously press the ALT and VS buttons on the
autopilot computer. On the G1000, active modes are annunciated in green
and armed modes are annunciated in white. Therefore, the annunciations
will be shown as ALT and VS on the G1000.
All autopilot mode selection is accomplished using the mode select
buttons and VS/modifier knob on the autopilot computer. Annunciations
for the autopilot system are displayed on both the G1000 and the autopilot
computer. Refer to “Figure S1-3” and “Figure S1-4” for illustrations of the
G1000 annunciations and the autopilot computer annunciations.

FLIGHT DIRECTOR
The flight director is a navigational aid that is overlaid on the Attitude
Indicator. This overlay will provide the pilot with visual cues of the suggested
aircraft attitude based on the autopilot mode the pilot has selected (i.e.
heading, altitude, Glideslope). Refer to “Figure S1-6” for detailed mode
information.

RDY (Ready)
Illuminates when the autopilot is ready for engagement. When the airplanes
Master Switch, Avionics Bus Switch and the Autopilot Master Switch are
turned on and the rate gyro RPM is correct, the RDY annunciation will be
shown indicating the autopilot is ready for the functional check and operation.
The autopilot cannot be engaged unless the RDY annunciation is shown and
the G1000 initial AHRS alignment is complete.

HDG (Heading) Mode


When HDG is selected, the autopilot will engage the HDG mode, fly the
airplane to, and hold the heading set on the HSI. For the smoothest
transition to HDG mode, it is recommended that the airplane be aligned to
within 10° of the selected heading before engaging HDG. The HDG mode
is also used in combination with the NAV mode to set up a pilot selected
intercept angle to a course.

GPSS (GPS Steering) Mode


When navigating using GPS, pressing NAV twice will cause the autopilot
to enter GPSS for smoother tracking and transitions between waypoints.
When GPSS is selected, the autopilot computer receives ground speed
and bank angle signals that are calculated and converted to a commanded
turn rate. The turn rate is then scaled and converted to a DC heading error
signal that is compatible with the autopilot. The end result is an autopilot that
can be directly coupled to the roll steering commands produced by the GPS
Navigation signal.

REV (Reverse Course) Mode


When REV is selected, the autopilot will automatically execute high
sensitivity gain for an approach where tracking the front course outbound
or tracking the back course inbound is required. The APR and REV
annunciations will be shown on the G1000 and the autopilot computer when
REV is selected.

APR (Approach) Mode


When APR is selected, the autopilot provides increased sensitivity for
approaches.

GS (Glideslope) Mode
The autopilot glideslope function will capture and track an ILS glideslope.
The following conditions must be met for at least 1 second to automatically
arm the GS mode:
1. The appropriate NAV receiver must be tuned to the appropriate ILS
frequency.
2. The ILS signal must be valid – no NAV or GS failure annunciations shown
on the PFD.
3. The CDI must be set to LOC 1 or LOC 2 as appropriate.
4. The autopilot must be in NAV/APR/ALT modes.
5. The aircraft must be within 50% CDI needle deflection of the Localizer
centerline.
6. The aircraft must be more than 10% below center on the glideslope
indicator.

If it is necessary to disable the glideslope mode after it has been


automatically armed, press the APR mode button on the autopilot computer.
The GS annunciation will flash to acknowledge this. To then re-arm the
glideslope mode, press the APR mode button on the autopilot computer
again. The GS annunciation will immediately extinguish, and then reappear
after one second if all of the above conditions (1-5) are still met.
With the glideslope mode armed, once the aircraft arrives at 5% below center
on the glideslope indicator, the ALT annunciation will disappear to indicate
engagement of the glideslope mode.
To manually engage the GS mode the following conditions must be met:
1. The appropriate NAV receiver must be tuned to the appropriate ILS
frequency.
2. The ILS signal must be valid – no NAV or GS failure annunciations shown
on the PFD.
3. The CDI must be set to LOC 1 or LOC 2 as appropriate.
4. The autopilot must be in NAV/APR/ALT modes.
5. Ensure the aircraft is not greater than 10% above the glideslope
centerline.
6. Press the ALT button on the autopilot computer.

CAUT I O N : Manual engagement of the glideslope mode when the


aircraft is positioned above the GS centerline will cause a more aggressive
intercept toward the glideslope. Do not manually engage the glideslope
mode if the glideslope needle deflection is greater than 10% above center.

The GS annunciation will flash whenever the glideslope indicator needle


deflection exceeds 50%, or a glideslope failure occurs. Whenever a
glideslope failure occurs the FAIL annunciation will also be displayed.

ALT (Altitude Hold) Mode


When ALT is selected, the autopilot will hold the altitude at the time the
mode was selected. Altitude hold will not engage if an autopilot roll mode
is not engaged. Altitude correction for enroute barometric changes may be
made by rotating the VS/Modifier knob on the autopilot computer. Clockwise
rotation will increase and counterclockwise rotation will decrease altitude
approximately 20 feet for each “click”. The maximum adjustment is ±360
feet. Adjustment greater than 360 feet can be made by selecting the VS
mode and flying the airplane to the new altitude and then reengaging ALT
mode.
The G1000 altitude bug may be used to preselect an altitude for the autopilot
to level off at. The altitude can be above or below the current altitude and
the vertical speed selected through the autopilot should be appropriate for
the desired altitude change. Once the altitude is selected using the altitude
knobs on the G1000, the altitude and vertical speed can be coupled by the
autopilot by simultaneously pressing the ALT and VS buttons on the autopilot
computer. ALT and VS will be displayed on the G1000 and the autopilot
computer. The ALT annunciation is shown as white on the G1000 because
it is armed, but not active. The VS annunciation is shown as green on
the G1000 because it is active. When the autopilot captures the selected
altitude and levels off, VS disappears and ALT will be shown as green
because it is now the active mode.

NO T E : If an altitude is selected that requires an opposite vertical


speed from that which is selected, the VS annunciation will flash but the
airplane will follow the selected vertical speed and will not level off since
the selected vertical speed is taking the airplane away from the selected
altitude.

As the airplane nears the selected altitude, the system automatically reduces
vertical speed command in 100 FPM increments to provide a smooth and
slow transition to the selected altitude.

VS (Vertical Speed) Mode


When VS is selected, the autopilot will synchronize to and hold the vertical
speed at the time the mode was selected. Vertical Speed mode will not
engage if an autopilot roll mode is not engaged. The vertical speed selection
is displayed in 100 foot increments at the far right of the autopilot computer
display next to the VS annunciation. A plus (+) value indicates a climb and
a negative (-) value indicates a descent. The selected vertical speed can
be adjusted by rotating the VS/Modifier knob on the autopilot computer.
Clockwise rotation increases and counterclockwise rotation decreases the
rate of climb or descent 100 FPM for each “click”. The maximum selectable
vertical speed is ±3000 FPM.

YAW DAMPER
The yaw damper serves to dampen excessive adverse yaw by sensing
lateral acceleration at the tail and applying rudder inputs through the yaw
servo. Prior to turning the yaw damper on, ensure the aircraft is trimmed in
the yaw axis (slip/skid indication centered) using the rudder trim switch on
the control pedestal.
The yaw damper will operate anytime the yaw damper master switch is place
in the ON position and is not dependent on the autopilot being engaged in
this mode. If the switch is placed in the AUTO position, the yaw damper will
only operate when the autopilot is engaged (any mode except RDY). When
the yaw damper is operating, the YD annunciation will be present in the
annunciation block of the G1000 system.
The yaw damper trim knob is used to center the slip/skid indication when
the yaw servo is engaged. Rotate the trim knob clockwise to center the slip/
skid indication if the indicator is displaced to the right. Rotate the trim knob
counterclockwise to center the slip/skid indication if the indicator is displaced
to the left.

NO T E : The yaw damper trim knob is sensitive and only requires small
movements to center the displaced slip/skid indication. The trim feature
is designed to “zero out” the accelerometer. For best results from the yaw
damper, it is recommended to trim the airplane with the yaw damper turned
off using the rudder trim switch on the control pedestal, and then engage
the yaw damper and zero out the yaw damper accelerometer using the yaw
damper trim knob (center the slip/skid indication).

NO T E : It is recommended that the yaw damper be turned off and the


airplane re-trimmed using the rudder trim switch on the control pedestal
after transitioning to a different phase of flight (climb, cruise, and descent),
and then reengaging the yaw damper. This will help unload the yaw
servo and also prevent an out-of-trim condition when the yaw damper is
disengaged.

PROPELLER SYSTEM OPERATING LIMITATIONS


An overspeed governor test must be performed prior to the first flight of the
day and following engine control system maintenance or adjustments.
Stabilized ground operation is prohibited between 450 and 1050 RPM. The
propeller may be operated when feathered at or below 450 RPM.

ENGINE CONTROL OPERATING LIMITATION


Flight operation with the engine power lever retarded below idle (beta
mode) is prohibited. Flight operation in beta mode may result in an engine
overspeed condition and consequent loss of engine power or loss of airplane
control. Operating in beta mode quickly produces high amounts of drag
which could result in a rapid loss of altitude or complete loss of control.

Note the position of the propeller blades:
1. If Feathered:
Propeller Lever..............................................................................FEATHER
Power Lever.......................................................................................... IDLE

CAUT I O N: If the propeller is feathered and the propeller control is in the


forward position when the engine is started, the aircraft may surge forward
uncontrolled as the propeller blades move from feathered to flat pitch (if
the airplane is a floatplane version and on the water).

2. If Flat Pitch:
Propeller Lever............................................................................. MAX RPM
Power Lever.......................DO NOT MOVE from engine shutdown position

STARTING
1. Perform normal starting procedures.
2. If the propeller is in flat pitch before starting, the propeller blades will
be held in the flat pitch position by the start-locks with the power lever
positioned aft of the IDLE position. The power lever must be moved slightly
further aft into REVERSE to unlatch the blades before moving the power
lever forward to IDLE.

CAUT I O N: If the power lever is moved forward out of BETA and into the
forward thrust range with the start locks still engaged, damage to the lock
mechanisms may occur.

3. If the propeller is feathered and the propeller lever is in the FEATHER


position, perform normal starting procedures.

CAUT I ON : If the propeller fails to engage the start locks (due to


misalignment of the power lever) the blades will slowly move into the
feather position. The propeller control must be moved to the FEATHER
position prior to starting the engine or considerable thrust will be produced
upon engine start as the propeller unfeathers rather than the anticipated
zero thrust.

9.2-7 AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS


PROPELLER
For water operations, it may be undesirable to feather the propeller when
the engine is stopped after landing the aircraft. If the engine is subsequently
Pitch-Latch Prop

started with the propeller in the feathered position, residual thrust


complicates docking and handling of the aircraft.
To prevent feathering the propeller, as during normal engine shutdown, this
propeller incorporates spring-energized latch pins, called auto high pitch stop
units. Two units are installed on the propeller cylinder. When the propeller
RPM is approximately 800 or above, centrifugal force disengages the latch
pins from the piston allowing it to move as needed between the reverse and
feather stops. When the RPM falls below this value, a spring in each auto
high pitch stop unit overcomes the centrifugal force on the latch pin, causing
it to retract into the cylinder and engage the piston, preventing it from moving
in the feather direction. To engage the stop units upon engine shutdown,
the power control must be placed into the reverse thrust position before
stopping the engine. Upon stopping, a large spring in the propeller moves it
toward the feathered position, but as the RPM decays below approximately
800, the retracted latch pins engage the piston, preventing the propeller from
feathering.
Upon starting the engine, the propeller is already in flat pitch. What little
thrust is generated while starting the engine does not present a handling
problem for the aircraft. To disengage the latches before taxi and flight, the
power lever must be placed momentarily in the reverse thrust position while
at low power. This removes the lateral friction force from the latch pins and
prevents them from being damaged by application of power. After adding
sufficient power to advance the RPM above 800, the latch pins move to an
outward position and remain there, allowing full control of the propeller.
Other than the operations utilizing the pitch latch pins, the propeller operates
identically to the standard HC-E4N-3P / D9511FSB propeller. Consult the
basic Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual
for a brief description of the propeller’s functional characteristics.

ENGINE EMERGENCIES
Engine Failure or Engine Fire During Takeoff Roll
Follow the instructions provided in the main body of this manual and in
addition, if possible, all parachutists shall brace for impact until the aircraft
has come to a complete stop. Evacuate the aircraft through the nearest
available exit. Exit the immediate area around the aircraft in the direction of
the tail.
Engine Failure or Engine Fire Shortly After Takeoff
Follow the instructions provided in the main body of this manual and in

Parachute Ops
addition, if possible, all parachutists shall bail out if height above ground and
the nature of the emergency allows for a deployment of parachutists. Take
into consideration that during an emergency jump, the last parachutist must
leave the aircraft at a minimum height of 600 feet AGL.
Otherwise, all parachutists shall retain their seat position and brace for
impact to help prevent injuries. Once the aircraft has come to a stop,
evacuate the aircraft through the nearest exit, in the planned order of
jumping. Exit the immediate area around the aircraft in the aft direction.
Engine Failure or Engine Fire During Flight
Follow the instructions provided in the main body of this manual and in
addition, if possible, all parachutists shall bail out if height above ground and
the nature of the emergency allows for a deployment of parachutists. Take
into consideration that during an emergency jump, the last parachutist must
leave the aircraft at a minimum height of 600 feet AGL.
Any parachutists who have not evacuated the aircraft while it is passing
a height of 600 feet AGL must ensure their restraint is secured and brace
for impact to help prevent injuries. Once the aircraft has come to a stop,
evacuate the aircraft through the nearest exit in the planned order of
jumping. Exit the immediate area around the aircraft in the aft direction.

BRACE FOR IMPACT POSITION


Since the parachutists will be facing aft, the proper brace for impact position
for parachutists is to lean toward the front of the aircraft onto the person or
barrier behind them.

LOADING PARACHUTISTS
1. Position the aircraft on level ground and set the parking brake to prevent
inadvertent rolling.
2. Install the tail stand and load the parachutists through the cargo door one at
a time and ensure each jumper reaches their correct position before loading
the next parachutist.
3. The jumpmaster removes the tail stand and enters the aircraft last.
4. After the loading procedure is complete, the jumpmaster shall ensure the
jumpers are in the correct seating position and the safety restraints are
secured properly.
5. The jumpmaster then closes the jump door.

DROPPING PARACHUTISTS
1. Prior to illumination of the amber jump signal light, the pilot reduces the
airspeed to 75 KIAS and positions the flaps to 20°.
2. Once the amber jump signal light is illuminated, the jumpmaster removes
his or her restraint and opens the jump door.
3. Upon reaching the drop zone, the pilot illuminates the green jump signal

VERTICAL SLIDING JUMP DOOR


The original cargo door is replaced by a vertical sliding door made from
transparent polycarbonate panels and aluminum hinges which are guided
in UHMW (plastic) rails. The door is opened by the jumpmaster and is
closed in flight by the pilot by pulling an overhead handle located at the flight
compartment overhead panel. The door remains in the closed position by
the weight of the door alone. The door must remain closed for all phases of
flight except for when the parachutists are preparing to jump or while jumping
(amber or green jump lights illuminated).

WIND DEFLECTOR
Parachute Ops

A wind deflector is installed just aft of the jump door to minimize airflow
buffeting within the cabin with the jump door open.

INTERNAL GRAB BAR


An internal grab bar is installed just inside of the jump door on the upper left
side of the fuselage. The grab bar is provided as a stabilizing hand hold for
parachutists.

EXTERNAL GRAB BAR


An external grab bar is installed outside of the jump door on the upper left

Section 9
100 SERIES TKS ICE PROTECTION
9.4–1 GENERAL
The optional TKS Ice Protection System allows flight into known icing
conditions as defined by 14 CFR Part 25, Appendix C, Envelopes for
Continuous Maximum and Intermittent Maximum Icing. In icing conditions,
the airplane must be operated as described in the “Normal Procedures”
section of this supplement. Where specific operational speeds and
performance information have been established for such conditions, this
information must be used.

9.4–2 LIMITATIONS
OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE LIMIT
Minimum outside air temperature limit for TKS fluid...................................-40°C
Do not activate the TKS system at temperatures less than -40°C.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
At the first sign of a TKS Ice Protection System malfunction, the aircraft

TKS Ice Protection


must immediately exit icing conditions.
In-flight icing conditions are defined as:
• Visually detected ice or the presence of visible moisture in any
form at an outside air temperature of 5°C (41°F) or less.
• Visible rain at temperatures below 5°C (41°F) OAT.
• Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures below
5°C (41°F) OAT.
• Accumulation of ice on the upper or lower surface of the wing, aft
of the protected area.
Known icing conditions are defined by 14 CFR Part 25, Appendix C (for IAC
AR certified airplanes, IAC AR Aviation Regulations Part 25, Appendix C).
These conditions do not include, nor were tests conducted in, all icing
conditions that may be encountered (e.g., freezing rain, freezing drizzle,
mixed conditions, or conditions defined as severe).
Pilots who encounter icing conditions which are outside the FAR defined
conditions must divert the flight promptly. Inadvertent operation in these
conditions may be detected by unusually extensive ice accumulating on
the airframe in areas not normally observed to collect ice.
If the airplane encounters conditions that are determined to contain
freezing rain or freezing drizzle, immediately exit the conditions by
changing altitude, turning back or, if clear air is known to be immediately
ahead, continuing on course.

NOTE : The National Weather Service’s Automated Surface Observing


Systems (ASOS) program does not provide reports of freezing drizzle. It
is the pilot’s responsibility to evaluate and understand weather along
the intended route and identify any potential weather hazards through
evaluation of current observations, Pilot Reports, Area Forecasts, AIRMETS,
SIGMETS, NOTAMS, etc.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook Supplement 9.4_5

Section 9
TKS ICE PROTECTION 100 SERIES

During ground icing conditions, takeoff must be accomplished within 5


minutes of completing the exterior surface inspection, unless the airplane
is operated in accordance with 14 CFR 135.227(b)(3).
Ground icing conditions are defined as:
• An outside air temperature of 5°C (41°F) or less with visible
moisture present (i.e. rain, drizzle, sleet, snow, fog, etc.).
• When operating on ramps, taxiways, or runways where surface
snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engine
or freeze on the engine, nacelle or engine sensor probes, or may
adhere to the aerodynamic surfaces.
• When conditions are conducive to active frost formation, for
example, a clear night with a dew point temperature/outside air
temperature difference of 3°C (5°F) or less.

AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS
The minimum airspeeds for operations in icing conditions with a fully
functional TKS Ice Protection System operating are:
TKS Ice Protection

Minimum holding speed:
Flaps 0°......................................................................................................120 KIAS

WARNING : Holding in icing conditions for longer than 45 minutes may


reduce margins and could result in inadequate handling and control
characteristics.

The maximum airspeed for operations in icing conditions with a fully


functional TKS Ice Protection System operating is:
Flaps 0°....................................168 KIAS or 190 KTAS, whichever is slower

FLAP LIMITATIONS

9.4–3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES


A failure of the TKS Ice Protection System is defined as any condition,
observed or suspected, in which the system fails to remove ice from
protected surfaces, including the propeller, in addition to any TKS Ice
Protection System CAS failure annunciations. An unobserved failure
may be indicated by a decrease in airspeed, anomalous handling
characteristics, or airframe vibrations. It is normal for small accumulations
of ice to build and shed from the protected areas of the aircraft.

WARNING : With ice accumulations on the horizontal stabilizer leading


edge, do not extend the flaps. Perform a flaps-up landing.

NOTE : Significant loss in cruise or climb performance may be an


indication of propeller ice accumulations that are not visible to the naked
eye. Operation of the engine at 2200 (maximum) RPM will help shed ice in
severe icing conditions.

9.4–4 NORMAL PROCEDURES

WARNING : Do not delay activation of the TKS Ice Protection System with
ice forming on the airplane.

WARNING : In order to minimize ice accumulations on the lower surface


of the wing, maintain a minimum airspeed of 110 KIAS with the flaps up
during operations in icing conditions. If unable to maintain altitude at
110 KIAS and maximum continuous power, change altitude and/or course
to exit the icing conditions (while maintaining 110 KIAS minimum).

WARNING : The efficiency of the TKS Ice Protection System must be


monitored. The leading edge of the wing must be maintained free of ice
during the system operation. If icing is observed building on the leading
edge of the wing with the SURFACE/PROP Switch in NORM position,
change it to HIGH. If icing is observed building on the leading edge of the
TKS Ice Protection

wing with the SURFACE/PROP Switch in HIGH position, change it to MAX.

NOTE : If there is an inadvertent delay in activating the TKS Ice Protection


System, select MAX on the SURFACE/PROP Switch until all ice is removed,
then select whichever mode is required to prevent ice accumulation.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

Preflight Inspection Warnings


Use of a ladder may be necessary to gain access to the wing for visual of
the stall warning heat, and pitot/static system heat.
In cold weather, it is essential to remove even the smallest accumulations
of frost, ice, snow, or slush from the wing, tail, control surfaces,
propeller blades, and the power plant air inlets. To assure complete
removal of contamination, conduct a visual and tactile inspection
of all critical surfaces. Also, ensure the control surfaces contain no
internal accumulations of ice or debris. If these requirements are not
accomplished, aircraft performance will be degraded to a point where a
safe takeoff and climb may not be possible.

ICE FORMATION DETERMINATION


Typically, ice will accumulate more efficiently on a leading edge with a small
radius than on a leading edge with a large radius. With relatively small leading
edge radii, the wing strut and flap tracks are good locations to monitor for ice
build‑up, but may not be as visible to the pilot as the wing leading edges. It is
recommended to monitor for ice build‑up in the following areas:
1. Wing Leading Edge
2. Wing Struts
3. Leading Edge of Flap Tracks (unprotected surface)

AUTOPILOT
TKS Ice Protection

During icing conditions in cruise, increase engine power (up to maximum


continuous power) to maintain cruise speed as ice accumulates on the
unprotected areas and causes the aircraft to slow down.
The autopilot may be used in icing conditions within the icing envelope
defined in 14 CFR 25 Appendix C (for IAC AR certified airplanes, IAC AR
Aviation Regulations Part 25, Appendix C). However, every 30 minutes the
autopilot should be disconnected to detect any out‑of‑trim conditions
caused by ice build‑up. If significant out‑of‑trim or other anomalous
conditions are detected, the autopilot shall remain off for the remainder of
the flight.
When disconnecting the autopilot with ice accretions on the airplane, the
pilot should be alert for out‑of‑trim control forces.

9.4–5 PERFORMANCE
Airplane performance and stall speeds without ice accumulation are
essentially unchanged with the installation of the TKS Ice Protection
System.
Significant climb and cruise performance degradation, range reduction,
and stall speed increase can be expected if ice accumulates on the
airframe. Residual ice on the protected areas and ice accumulation on
the unprotected areas of the airplane can cause noticeable performance
losses and stall speed increases even with the TKS Ice Protection System
operating.

WEIGHING PROCEDURES
In preparation for weighing and calculating the empty weight of the TKS
Ice Protection System equipped KODIAK® 100, the TKS Ice Protection
System must be drained of all fluid.

Console Reservoir Tank Configuration


Drain the fluid from the reservoir tank through the drain valve, which is
located on the right side of the aircraft under the aft fuselage.

External Cargo Compartment Reservoir Tank Configuration


Drain the fluid from the reservoir tank through the quick‑drain valve
located on the reservoir sump, which is accessed by removing the access
cover in the protecting bulkhead. A short length of flexible tubing will be
necessary to direct the fluid out of the external cargo compartment door.
When drained, no appreciable amount of fluid will remain in the tank.
After this procedure, follow the preparations and weighing instructions
contained in “Section 6” of this manual.
TKS Ice Protection

9.4–7 AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS

SYSTEM OPERATION
During normal system operation, the metering pumps pull ice protection
fluid from the reservoir tank. Both metering pumps are controlled by the
pump control unit, which controls the operation of the windshield pump
and both metering pumps when NORMAL, HIGH, and MAX modes are
selected and/or the WINDSHIELD switch is selected via the switch panel.
The selected operating mode is annunciated on the PFD. In the event of
a pump control unit failure, the pump control unit may be bypassed by
placing the BACKUP Switch in the ON position.
From the metering pumps, the fluid flows through a high pressure switch
and then to an in‑line filter. The location of the high pressure switch is
intended to send a high pressure signal to the G1000® in the event of a
clogged filter. From the filter, the fluid flows through a flow transducer,
which provides fluid flow rate to the G1000®. The fluid then continues
to a tee that splits the flow between the forward and aft portions of the
system.
The forward line runs to a three‑port proportioning unit, which divides the
flow into specific volumetric requirements for each gear leg porous panel
and to the propeller slinger ring.
The aft line provides fluid to the wings, wing struts, vertical stabilizer, and
horizontal stabilizer. The aft line tees twice to supply three proportioning
units (one for each wing/wing strut and one for the empennage).
The windshield pump, located between the main landing gear cross tubes,
supplies the windshield sprayers with fluid and also acts as a priming
pump for the main metering pumps in case air gets trapped in the system.

TKS ICE PROTECTION 100 SERIES

POROUS PANELS
The KODIAK® TKS Ice Protection System is a system that exudes a filmy ice
protection fluid from porous panels on the leading edges of the aircraft.
The fluid minimizes ice formation on all lifting surfaces, propeller blades,
wings, wing struts, and horizontal and vertical stabilizers. When the system
is activated in flight, the ice protection fluid flows back over the upper
and lower surfaces of the area being protected and protects the leading
edges from ice build-up.

PROPELLER PROTECTION
A fluid slinger on the propeller provides anti-ice protection for
the propeller and for the fuselage forward surfaces. Two positive
displacement, constant volume metering pumps supply fluid to the panels
and propeller. Single and combined pump operation and timed pumping
provide a range of flow rates for varied icing conditions.

WINDSHIELD SPRAYERS AND PUMP


The TKS Ice Protection System includes windshield protection through
TKS Ice Protection

the installation of windshield sprayers located at the base of the left


windshield. Ice protection fluid is supplied to the sprayers by an
on‑demand gear pump, which is installed beneath the floor between
the main landing gear cross tubes. When the momentary spring loaded
WINDSHIELD Switch is activated, the pump runs for 4 seconds. In addition
to providing flow for windshield ice protection, the pump also acts as
a priming pump for the main metering pumps. In the event of a loss of
system prime, the windshield pump may be activated to purge the system
of any air between the main metering pumps and the fluid reservoir. See
the Handling, Service and Maintenance section of this supplement for
more information.

RESERVOIR TANK
The fluid reservoir tank for the known icing system has a total capacity of
16.0 gallons.
For the Console Reservoir Tank configuration, the fluid reservoir tank is
located in the center console between the two crew seats. The filler port
for the Console Reservoir Tank is located on top of the center console and
is accessed by lifting the armrest.
For the External Cargo Compartment Reservoir configuration, the fluid
reservoir tank is located in the forward end of the forward bay of the
External Cargo Compartment and is accessed by opening the forward bay
access door, extending the flexible filler tube, and removing the filler cap.

G1000® on the Engine Indication System (EIS) on the SYSTEM page. Fluid
quantity is measured by a float type quantity sensor installed in the ice
protection fluid reservoir tank.

Figure 9.4-2:  Fluid Quantity Indicator

MODES OF OPERATION
The system is designed for flight into known icing conditions, as defined
by 14 CFR Part 23 and for use in continuous maximum and maximum
intermittent icing envelopes, as defined by 14 CFR Part 25, Appendix C
(for IAC AR certified airplanes, IAC AR Aviation Regulations Part 25,

TKS Ice Protection


Appendix C). The HIGH mode provides 100% anti‑icing protection
to all leading edge surfaces for all conditions found in the Maximum
Continuous Icing Envelope. NORMAL mode produces cycled flow 30
seconds on and 90 seconds off. During the 30 seconds on time, the flow
rate is two times that of the HIGH mode, but since it runs on a 25% duty
cycle, total fluid usage is 50% of the HIGH flow setting. MAXIMUM has two
times the flow rate of HIGH mode and therefore has 200% of the anti-ice
flow needed to provide a clean leading edge in the Maximum Continuous
Icing Envelope. BACKUP mode is the equivalent of HIGH mode, but uses a
separate pump than the HIGH mode.

ICE INSPECTION LIGHTS


To provide visual verification of icing conditions and confirmation of fluid
flow, Ice Inspection Lights are flush mounted to the right and left crew
doors. The Ice Inspection Lights illuminate the leading edge of the wings,
pitot/static tubes, stall warning lift transducer, and the upper portion of
the wing struts. System components include the LED light assemblies and
a two position switch labeled ICE LIGHT.
The Ice Inspection Lights operate on 28 VDC and are protected by a 5 amp
circuit breaker labeled ICE INSP LIGHTS. The Ice Inspection Lights switch is
located on the right hand side switch panel.

STALL WARNING SYSTEM


The known icing stall warning system adds a heated stall warning lift
transducer relay to heat the transducer and “Ice Mode” logic to the G1000®
system. The stall warning lift transducer is heated by the relay when the
left‑hand pitot heat is commanded to the ON position.
If a failure is detected in the power draw from the stall warning lift
transducer heater, the following G1000® annunciation is shown:
STALL HT FL
Ice mode provides an additional stall warning margin of 9‑13 KIAS above
the normal margin. The G1000® commands the stall warning computer
to enter Ice Mode when the aircraft is airborne and Max, High, Norm, or
Backup Mode for the ice protection fluid has been selected. Once one
of these functions are selected, the G1000® will continue to command
the stall warning computer to be in Ice Mode until the G1000® is
powered‑down.

ANGLE OF ATTACK INDEXER (IF EQUIPPED)


The Angle of Attack (AoA) Indexer will display the corrected “On Speed”
TKS Ice Protection

indication to match the speeds listed in this supplement when “Ice Mode”
is commanded from the G1000®. Refer to the Stall Warning System in this
section for additional information on “Ice Mode”. The minimum airspeed
shall be 85 KIAS independent of the AoA Indexer indication. Refer to the
Airspeed Limitations in this supplement for additional information.

LOW / HIGH AIRSPEED CAUTION SYSTEM


This system is equipped with an airspeed caution system to alert the
pilot when airspeed is outside the designed operating envelope with the
TKS Ice Protection System operating in any mode (NORM, HIGH, MAX, or
BACKUP). Cautions are provided when the airspeed is less than 110 KIAS,
greater than 168 KIAS, or greater than 190 KTAS.
The low speed caution is shown on the G1000® as: LO ICE SPEED
The high speed caution is shown on the G1000® as: HI ICE SPEED
To prevent nuisance alerts during takeoff and landing, the low speed
alerts are inhibited during the following conditions:
• Inhibited while the flaps are extended for takeoff (10° or 20°) and
for one (1) minute after takeoff. This one (1) minute of time is to
allow for the transition from takeoff to enroute climb and exiting
of the airport environment.
• Inhibited while the flaps are extended for approach and landing
(10° or 20°). A minimum airspeed of 85 knots shall be used while in
this configuration, but no low speed caution will be provided.

SWITCH FUNCTIONS
All functions of the known icing equipment are controlled by switches
located on the lower section of the instrument panel on the Right Switch
Panel. They are grouped together in one row labeled ICE PROTECTION.

Figure 9.4-3:  Ice Protection—Right Switch Panel

Engine Inlet Switches


(Override and Primary)
The ENGINE INLET switches are located on the bottom left of the Right
Switch Panel.
The OVERRIDE switch has a position for BYPASS (up) and the stowed
position (down). A detent prevents accidental movement of the switch
into BYPASS mode. To move the switch to the BYPASS position, pull out on
the OVERRIDE switch before moving the switch up to BYPASS. The switch

TKS Ice Protection


controls the override actuator and is only used to move the Inertial Particle
Separator (IPS) to BYPASS in the event of a Primary Actuator system failure.
If an IPS actuator is commanded to the BYPASS position, but the IPS fails to
move, the following G1000® annunciation appears: INLET NOT BP
If the IPS does not engage into BYPASS mode, exit icing conditions as soon
as possible.
The PRIMARY ACTUATOR switch is located to the right of the OVERRIDE
switch. It controls the position of the primary actuator for the IPS and has
positions for NORMAL and BYPASS. The position of the IPS is indicated by
the following G1000® annunciations: ENG INLET NRM and ENG INLET BP .

Pitot Heat Switches


(L and R with Positions for ON and OFF)
The PITOT HEAT switches are located to the right of the ENGINE INLET
switches on the Right Switch Panel.
The left and right PITOT HEAT switches control the heat to the left and
right pitot/static probes respectively. If the PITOT HEAT switches are turned
off and the outside air temperature is less than 5°C (41°F), the following
G1000® annunciation is shown: PITOT OFF L-R
If a failure is detected in the power to the pitot/static heat, the following
G1000® annunciation is shown: PITOT FL
The left PITOT HEAT switch also controls the Stall Warning Heat. So,
any time the left PITOT HEAT switch is on, the stall warning heat is also
activated.

Surface/Prop Switch
(Positions for OFF, NORM, HI, and MAX)
The SURFACE/PROP switch is located to the right of the PITOT HEAT
switches on the Right Switch Panel.
NORM mode supplies the system’s lowest fluid flow rate. The flow rate is
achieved by operating the two metering pumps on a continuous repeat
cycle. The two metering pumps operate for approximately 30 seconds,
then stop for 90 seconds. This ON‑OFF cycle of operation continues until
OFF is selected on the SURFACE/PROP switch.
HI mode operates one metering pump continuously.
MAX mode is available for heavy or extreme icing conditions. In MAX
mode, the two metering pumps operate continuously for a period of
two (2) minutes. The MAX mode switch position is spring‑loaded, when
released the SURFACE/PROP switch goes back to the HI mode position.
When the two (2) minute MAX mode cycle is complete, the flow rate will
change to the mode selected on the SURFACE/PROP switch.
If a TKS Ice Protection System operational mode is selected on the
TKS Ice Protection

SURFACE/PROP switch, but the IPS is not in the BYPASS position, the
following G1000® annunciation appears: INLET NOT BP
Windshield Switch
(Positions for ON and OFF)
The WINDSHIELD switch is located to the right of the SURFACE/PROP
switch on the Right Switch Panel.
The WINDSHIELD switch is spring‑loaded to the OFF position. When ON is
selected, the windshield pump operates for four (4) seconds and supplies
ice protection fluid through three (3) spray nozzles.
Backup Pump Switch
(Positions for ON and OFF)
The BACKUP PUMP switch is located to the right of the WINDSHIELD
switch on the Right Switch Panel.
The BACKUP PUMP switch operates the second metering pump in the TKS
Ice Protection System continuously. This metering pump is not the same
metering pump operated while in HI mode.
The BACKUP PUMP switch functions independently and provides
redundant capability in the event the normal operational modes of the
TKS Ice Protection System are rendered inoperable.
Ice Light Switch
(Positions for ON and OFF)
The ICE LIGHT switch is located to the right of the BACKUP PUMP switch
on the Right Switch Panel.
The ICE LIGHT switch operates the Ice Detection Lights mounted in each
crew door. The Ice Detection Lights are aimed along the leading edge of
each wing for easy detection of ice at night.

9.4–8 HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

STORAGE
During long periods of non-use, the porous panel membranes may dry
out, which could cause uneven fluid flow during subsequent operation.
Perform the Pre-Flight Inspection every 30 days to keep the porous panel
membranes wetted.
To prepare the TKS Ice Protection System for flyable storage, fill the fluid
reservoir and operate the system on MAX to ensure all air is completely
purged from components and plumbing. Refill the fluid reservoir after
purging the system.

SERVICING

CAUTION :
• Use only approved ice protection fluids, “Kilfrost TKS Sustain” or fluid
conforming to British Specification “DTD 406B”.
• Certain solvents may damage the panel membranes. Use only soap
and water, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol to clean the panels. Do
not wax the leading edge porous panels.

TKS Ice Protection System Console Tank


The fluid reservoir is serviced through the filler cap in the console between
the two crew seats. The tank is drained by removing the threaded plug
located on the bottom of the fuselage. The reservoir is vented through the
filler cap. The fluid level is shown on a level indicator within the tank.

TKS Ice Protection System Cargo Compartment Tank


The fluid reservoir is serviced through the filler tube and cap on the
tank located in the forward end of the forward bay of the External Cargo
Compartment. The tank is drained by pushing and turning the quick-drain
valve located on the reservoir sump, which is accessed by removing the
access cover in the protecting bulkhead. A short length of flexible tubing
will be necessary to convey the fluid out of the cargo compartment door.
The fluid level is shown on the sight-tube on the left-hand side of the tank.

CAUTION : Do not fill beyond the MAX FILL mark. Spillage may occur.
TKS Ice Protection

Porous Panels
Periodically clean the porous panels with mild soap and water using
a clean lint-free cloth. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to remove oil or
grease.

System Priming
In the event of loss of prime, the windshield pump may be activated to
purge the system of any air between the main metering pumps and the
fluid tank. It is unlikely that the system will experience a loss of prime
except when the fluid tanks are intentionally run dry. If, after multiple
purging attempts, insufficient ice protection fluid is evident during the
Pre-Flight Inspection, the TKS Ice Protection System must be purged in
accordance with the KODIAK® 100 Airplane Maintenance Manual.

PARACHUTE STATIC LINE ATTACHMENT (IF EQUIPPED)


A static line attachment may be installed. It is a horizontal fixture mounted to
the upper cabin structure on the right side of the cabin. Static lines may be
hooked to the horizontal cable on the fixture. The arrangement allows the
static lines to slide aft along the cable. The static lines will trail across the
floor to the door opening and then along the side of the airplane as cargo is
dropped. The static line attachment may also be used to tether crew during
cargo drop operations.

SIGNAL LIGHTS AND SWITCHES (IF EQUIPPED)


A Signal system may be installed in the aircraft. A light panel with red, amber
and green lights is installed in the rear of the aircraft on the aft bulkhead to
facilitate communications from the pilot to other crew members. The lights
are controlled by a three position switch located on the upper left portion of
the instrument panel. The signals from the pilot to the crew member are as
follows:
Red Light........................ NO DROPPING (remain seated with door closed)
Amber Light............................................. PREPARE TO DROP (open door)
Green Light..................................................... DROP (overhead drop zone)

NO T E : The signal lights do not absolve the crew of the responsibility to


ensure the area is clear below the aircraft.

An additional jump light panel with green, white and red lights is installed on
Cargo Door Remove

the upper left portion of the instrument panel to facilitate communications


from the jumpmaster to the pilot. The lights are controlled by like colored
buttons located on the aft portion of the cargo door post. The signals from
the jumpmaster to the pilot are as follows:
Green Light............................................................................ Turn Right 10°
White Light.............................................. Hold Heading, Speed and Altitude
Red Light.................................................................................. Turn Left 10°

JUMP EXHAUST STACKS (IF EQUIPPED)


The Jump Exhaust Stacks may be installed to improve crew comfort during
operations with the vertical sliding door open. These exhaust stacks are
turned out and point away from the fuselage, which positions the exhaust
plume further outboard and considerably reduces the amount of exhaust
fumes in the cabin while operating with the door open.

9.6-1 GENERAL
The KODIAK 100 may be equipped with an External Cargo Compartment
(ECC) that attaches to the bottom of the fuselage and provides an additional
cargo volume of 63 cubic feet (or 750 pound capacity). The ECC is
comprised of the nose fairing and the body of the pod, which are separated
by a stainless steel firewall. The ECC has three separate compartments
that are accessible through three doors on the left side of the aircraft. Once
installed, the ECC and its components will increase the empty weight of the
aircraft by approximately 175 pounds.
The External Cargo Compartment is attached to the bottom of the aircraft
using screws and nutplates and is fabricated from a gel coat, fiberglass,
resin, and foam core composite, also containing ground plane mesh. Ventral
fins, strakes, and aerodynamic fences are installed to provide additional
directional stability. Fuel drains and vents are routed to a common drain
manifold on the right side. Jacking of the nose gear is accomplished with
a column jack point, which extends below the aircraft firewall, through the
ECC.

tailwinds up to 10 knots, increase distances by 10% for each 2 knots.
• For operation on a hard dry grass runway, increase distances by 15%
of the “ground roll” calculation.
• With takeoff power set below the torque limit, increase both ground
roll and total distances by 1%, for the inertial separator system in
bypass.
• For operation in air colder than this table provides, use the coldest
data for takeoff distances.
• For operation in air warmer than this table provides, use extreme
caution.
• Dashed entries indicate atmospheric temperatures beyond the aircraft
operating limits.
• For each 1% of upsloped runway (up to 3% grade), increase the table
distances by:
ECC

22% of the ground roll distance at Sea Level to 4,999 feet


30% of the ground roll distance at 5,000 to 9,999 feet
43% of the ground roll distance at 10,000 feet or above
• For each 1% of downsloped runway, decrease the table distances by:
7% of the ground roll distance at Sea Level to 4,999 feet
10% of the ground roll distance at 5,000 feet to 9,999 feet
14 % of the ground roll distance at 10,000 feet or above
• When Air Conditioning is ON, and takeoff power is set below the
torque limit, increase ground roll by 6.1% and total distance by 6.7%.

NO T E : Red shaded areas represent data at temperatures greater than


the maximum approved operating OAT, but may be used for the purpose of
interpolating.

CRUISE PERFORMANCE WITH ECC


(Refer to the tables on the following pages)

The following information is applicable to all External Cargo Compartment


(ECC) Cruise Performance Charts contained in this section, if your airplane
is equipped with an ECC.

CAUT I O N: With the inertial air particle separator placed in BYPASS,


maximum cruise speed is reduced by up to 10 knots.

NO T E S :
• The highest torque value for each temperature and RPM value
represents the maximum allowable cruise power. Do not exceed this
torque value: 740°C ITT, or 101.6% Ng, whichever occurs first.
• With the inertial air particle separator placed in BYPASS and the
power set below the cruise torque limit of 1840 foot-pounds, decrease
the maximum cruise torque by 55 foot-pounds. Do not exceed 740°C
ITT or 101.6% Ng.
• When the Air Conditioning is ON, and power is set below the cruise
torque limit of 1840 foot-pounds, decrease the maximum cruise torque
by 80 foot-pounds. Do not exceed 740°C ITT or 101.6% Ng.
• Propeller RPM (Np) may be set as low as 1900 RPM to reduce cabin
noise. Do not exceed 1840 foot-pounds of torque, 740 degrees C ITT,
or 101.6% NG. To achieve optimum cruise performance, set Np at or
above 2000 RPM.

NO T E : Green numbers indicate performance numbers for standard


temperatures at that altitude.

The ECC, with a 63-cubic-foot area and a 750 pound capacity, may be
installed on KODIAK® 100 airplanes. The ECC is constructed of two pieces –
the nose fairing and the main pod – which are separated by a stainless steel
firewall.
ECC

The ECC and its doors have a foam composite core, strips of a nonwoven
metallic lightning and shielding mesh, a layer of ground plane mesh, and an
outer layer of fiberglass.
Two bulkheads divide the pod into three compartments. Each compartment
may be accessed through a separate door located in the left side of the pod.
Ventral fins, strakes, and aerodynamic fences are installed to provide
additional stability about the yaw axis. A fuel drain system enables exterior
access to the fuel drain lines.

GENERAL
The Garmin GWX Airborne Color Weather Radar is a pulsed radar system
used to detect precipitation. Sector Scanning supplies crew-adjustable
horizontal scan angles of 20°, 40°, 60°, or a full 90° scan to direct radar
scanning on specified areas. The vertical scan function aids in analyzing
storm tops, gradients, and cell build-up activity at various altitudes.
The Garmin GWX Airborne Color Weather Radar includes an antenna,
receiver, and transmitter in one assembly. The system is enclosed in a
dome and mount fairing and is supported by a steel fixture mounted
beneath the wing. The system is electrically protected by a 5 amp circuit
breaker located on the Circuit Breaker Panel.
The radar data is displayed on the G1000® Multi-Function Display (MFD),
and functions are controlled through the MFD buttons and controls.
Available operational modes are Standby, Weather, Ground Map, and

GARMIN GWX 68 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM


The Garmin GWX 68 Airborne Color Weather Radar is a four-color digital
pulsed radar with 6500 watts of output power. The pulse width is four (4)
microseconds at all ranges, except the 2.5 nm range, to provide adjustable
scanning profiles with high-definition target display. Within the 2.5 nm
range, the GWX 68 uses a one (1) microsecond pulse width to produce
better target definition at close range.

additional information.

GARMIN GWX 70R AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM


The Garmin GWX 70R Airborne Color Weather Radar is a solid-state pulsed
radar with 40 watts of output power. The GWX 70R has an effective pulse
length of 27.31 microseconds. The system optimizes the pulse length to
maximize resolution at each range setting.
See the Garmin G1000® NXi Pilot’s Guide for the Quest KODIAK® 100,
Section 6.3 Airborne Color Weather Radar for additional information.

ANTENNA
The KODIAK® 100 uses an underwing, pod mounted 10 inch phased array
antenna stabilized to accommodate 30° of pitch and roll.
Pulsed radar finds targets by transmitting a microwave pulse beam that,
upon finding a target, is reflected back to the radar receiver as a return
echo. The same antenna is used for both transmitting and receiving
microwave pulses. The GWX Airborne Color Weather Radar System
processes the returned signal and displays it on the MFD.

NOTES:
• Short field technique utilized as outlined in Section 4 of the Pilot’s
Operating Handbook.
• Decrease distances 10% for each 14 knots headwind.
• For operation in tailwinds up to 10 knots, increase distances 10% for
each 2 knots.
• For operation on a hard, dry, grass runway, increase distances by 20%
of the ground roll calculation.
• To land with the flaps up, increase approach speed by 22 KIAS and
allow for approximately 55% longer distances.
• Use of maximum reverse thrust after touchdown will reduce ground roll
by approximately 5%.
• For sloped runways (up to 3% slope), increase the distances by 27% of
the ground roll distance for each 1% of downslope. Decrease distances
by 9% of the ground roll distance for each 1% of upslope.
• For operation in air colder than provided in this table, use the coldest
data for landing distances.
• Dashed entries correspond to outside air temperatures beyond the
aircraft operating limits.

NO T E : Red shaded areas represent data at temperatures greater than


the maximum approved operating OAT, but may be used for the purpose of
interpolating.

FUEL (LB) ENTRY SECTION

NO T E : If the aircraft is on the ground or a destination way point has not


been entered, the estimated landing weight field displays invalid values
consisting of six dashes.

Estimated Landing Weight (Calculation Field) - When the aircraft is in the


air and a destination way point has been entered, the fuel calculations
can be completed. Landing weight is automatically calculated based on
the following information: [ Estimated landing weight = zero fuel weight
+ estimated landing fuel]. If the estimated landing weight is greater than
6,690 pounds, the estimated landing weight will be displayed in amber.
Landing weights up to 7,255 pounds are acceptable if accomplished in
accordance with the limitations of this supplement.

KINDS OF OPERATION LIMITS


When equipped with the Garmin GFC 700 Autopilot, the following items
shall be applicable to the Kinds of Operation Equipment List (KOEL).
This KOEL supplements the one found in the main body of the AFM/
POH and identifies equipment required to be operational in the kind of
operations listed for airplane airworthiness, according to 14 CFR Part 23.
These equipment items must be installed and in proper condition for the
particular type of operation desired. The equipment list for the airplane
should be referenced for additional equipment information. The pilot
in command is the final authority for determining the airworthiness of
the airplane for each flight and for assuring compliance with the Federal
Aviation Regulations.
Deviations from the KOEL may be approved for the operation of a specific
aircraft if a proper MEL (Minimum Equipment List) has been authorized by
the appropriate regulatory agency.
Since the automatic flap configuration trim is provided through the
GFC 700 when it is installed, the KOEL is modified as follows:

9.9–4 NORMAL PROCEDURES

CAUTION : Turning the ALT SEL or ALT knob while in Altitude Hold
Mode changes the selected altitude, but not the Flight Director’s altitude
reference, and does not cancel the mode.

NOTE : Detailed normal operating procedures for the GFC 700 AFCS are
described in the Garmin G1000® Integrated Avionics System Pilot’s Guide
for the Quest KODIAK® 100.

PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION
A self–test is performed upon power application to the AFCS. A
boxed AFCS annunciator will appear on the PFD in white text on a red
background, followed by a boxed PFT in black text on a white background.
Successful completion is identified by the aural disconnect tone being

VNAV PROCEDURES
Vertical Direct-To Autopilot Coupling
While on course and navigating on a flight plan to a waypoint via GPS:
1. VNV key on Autopilot.............................................................................PRESS to arm VPTH
2. Altitude Knob...................................................................................SELECT desired altitude
3. MFD FPL key.........................................................................................................................PRESS
4. FMS knob to activate the cursor...............................................PRESS to activate cursor
5. FMS knob...................................................................TURN to highlight desired waypoint
6. VNV D→ Softkey.................................................................................................................PRESS
7. ENT key..................................................................PRESS to activate the Vertical Direct-To

NOTE : When the VNAV path is changed by a flight plan modification,


the vertical path must be recalculated by the G1000® in order to prevent
following a path that may no longer be appropriate. During the
recalculation time, the pathways are reset to the selected altitude. This
issue is only seen transiently if the flight plan is modified while on a VNAV
descent. The issue is the subject of an active Garmin change request to
determine how the operation might be improved.

GPS APPROACHES
To supplement the procedures outlined in the Garmin G1000® Integrated
Avionics System Pilot’s Guide for the Quest KODIAK® 100, the following
should be noted:
While flying any GPS approach, the APR mode should be used, since it
provides more precise tracking of the lateral approach guidance. When
this mode is selected on the autopilot, GP will automatically be armed
and will capture the glidepath (if one is provided for the approach). On an
LNAV GPS approach, the GP function will still be armed on the autopilot
(white GP annunciation) even though a glidepath may not be provided for
this type of approach.
On these LNAV approaches with no glidepath, the vertical navigation
function may be used with the autopilot to fly a stabilized approach.
However, VNV mode (as well as the Pathways, Vertical Deviation Indicator,
and the Required Vertical Speed Indicator) is only available to the
Final Approach Fix (FAF). From the final approach fix inbound, another
vertical mode must be selected on the autopilot (FLC or VS modes are
recommended) if it is to remain engaged for the approach, or the aircraft
may be hand-flown.

COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS


In temperatures below -40°C (-40°F), twenty minutes are required from
initial power-on to when the autopilot should first be engaged.

9.9–7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS


PRIMARY OPERATING FUNCTIONS
This airplane is equipped with a GFC 700—a three axis, fully digital, dual
channel, fail passive Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). The system
consists of the GMC 710 AFCS Mode Controller, Roll Servo, Pitch Servo,
Yaw Servo, Integrated Avionics Units, Pitch Trim Servo, Pitch Trim Adapter,
AP DISC/TRIM INT Switch, Take Off / Go Around Button, LVL Button, and
Electric Manual Pitch-Trim Switches. The GFC 700 AFCS with Yaw Damper
can be divided into three primary operating functions—Flight Director,
Autopilot, and Yaw Damper.
Flight Director
The Flight Director provides pitch and roll commands to the AFCS and
displays them on the PFD. With the Flight Director activated, the pilot can
hand-fly the airplane to follow the path shown by the command bars.
Flight Director operation takes place within the #1 Integrated Avionics
Unit and provides:
• Mode annunciation
• Vertical reference control
• Pitch and roll command calculation
• Pitch and roll command display
Autopilot
The Autopilot controls the airplane pitch, roll, and yaw attitudes, while
following commands received from the Flight Director. Autopilot
operation occurs within the servos and provides:
• Autopilot engagement and annunciation
• Autopilot command and control
• Auto-trim operation
• Manual and automatic electric elevator trim
• Two axis airplane control (pitch and roll), including approaches
• Level (LVL) mode engagement command of zero roll and zero
vertical speed.
Yaw Damper
Yaw Damper operation is provided by the yaw servo, and it supplies the
following:
• Yaw Damper engagement and annunciation
• Yaw axis airplane control

ROLL, PITCH, AND YAW SERVOS


The Roll Servo, located in the left wing, and the Pitch and Yaw Servos, both
located in the empennage, position the aircraft flight controls in response
to commands generated by the Integrated Avionics Unit’s Autopilot
calculations. 28 VDC for Roll, Pitch, and Yaw Servo operation is supplied
through the 5-amp AUTO PILOT circuit breaker (located 5 rows down and 5
circuit breaker positions from the left).

INTEGRATED AVIONICS UNITS


The Integrated Avionics Units located behind each PFD function as the
main communication hubs to the Avionics System and GFC 700, linking
the systems to the PFD and MFD displays. Each Integrated Avionics Unit
receives air and attitude data parameters from the Air Data Computers and
Attitude and Heading Reference Systems. Each Integrated Avionics Unit
contains a GPS WAAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, and system
integration microprocessors. The AFCS function within the Integrated
Avionics Units controls the active and armed modes for the Flight Director,
as well as Autopilot engagement. The Flight Director commands for the
active modes are calculated and sent to the PFD for display and mode
annunciation. The sensor data and Flight Director commands are also
sent to the servos over a common serial data bus. 28 VDC for Integrated
Avionics Unit 1 operation is supplied through the 7.5–amp NO 1 COMM
(located 3 rows down and 6 circuit breaker positions from the left) and
5–amp NO 1 GPS/NAV circuit breakers (located 3 rows down and 5 circuit
breaker positions from the left). 28 VDC for Integrated Avionics Unit 2
operation is supplied through the 7.5–amp NO 2 COMM (located 4 rows
down and 6 circuit breaker positions from the left) and 5–amp NO 2 GPS/
NAV circuit breakers (located 4 rows down and 5 circuit breaker positions
from the left).

AUTOPILOT DISCONNECT/TRIM INTERRUPT SWITCH


The yoke mounted Autopilot Disconnect/Trim Interrupt (AP DISC/TRIM
INT) Switch disengages the Autopilot, interrupts the electric trims (pitch,
roll, and yaw), and may also be used to mute the aural alert associated
with an Autopilot Disconnect. The Switch will also temporarily suspend
the servos from providing ESP correction forces, thus having an ESP
“interrupt” function. This may be useful to alleviate control forces if
intentional maneuvers are necessary beyond the ESP engagement
threshold (i.e., isolated training maneuvers).

TAKE OFF/GO AROUND BUTTON
The remote TO/GA switch, located on the left side of the power lever,
selects the Takeoff or Go Around mode on the Flight Director. When the
aircraft is on the ground, pressing the TO/GA switch engages the Flight
Director command bars in Takeoff (TO) mode. When the aircraft is in the
air, pressing the TO/GA switch engages the Flight Director command bars
in Go Around (GA) mode and cancels all armed modes except ALT ARM
(ALTS).

NOTE : Selection of TO/GA switch will not change autopilot engagement


(i.e., if initially engaged, autopilot will remain engaged; if initially not
engaged, autopilot will remain not engaged). After TO/GA engagement,
other roll modes may be selected and Autopilot engagement is allowed.
However, an attempt to modify the pitch attitude with the Pitch Wheel
will result in a reversion to PIT mode. Additionally, if in Approach mode,
pressing the TO/GA switch resumes automatic sequencing of waypoints
by deactivating the “SUSP” mode. If power is insufficient to maintain go-
around attitude, the Autopilot will enter Underspeed Protection Mode.

PITCH TRIM SERVO


The Pitch Trim Servo, located in the center pedestal, takes input from the
trim switch and Integrated Avionics Units to adjust pitch trim. Power is
supplied through the 5–amp AUTO PILOT circuit breaker (located 5 rows
down and 5 circuit breaker positions in from the left).

ELECTRIC PITCH TRIM SWITCH


The yoke mounted Electric Pitch Trim Switch allows the pilot to manually
adjust aircraft trim when the Autopilot is not engaged. The pitch trim
switch may also be used to disengage the autopilot without disengaging
the yaw damper.

LVL BUTTON
The LVL button is separate from the GMC 710 Autopilot Mode Controller
and is installed just below it. The LVL button engages the autopilot in the
Level Mode and brings the airplane to zero vertical speed and wings level.

NOTE : Pressing the LVL button will not engage the autopilot in Level
Mode if the airplane is beyond the autopilot engagement limits specified
on page 9.9_7 of this supplement.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY AND PROTECTION


ESP assists the pilot in maintaining the airplane in a safe flight condition.
Through the use of the GFC 700 AFCS sensors, processors, and servos,
ESP provides control force feedback, i.e. a “soft barrier,” to maintain the
aircraft within the pitch, roll, and airspeed flight envelope by automatically
engaging one or more servos when the aircraft is near the defined
operating limit. This feature is active only when in flight and when the
GFC 700 Autopilot is off. The ESP engagement envelope is the same as
the Autopilot engagement envelope and is not provided beyond the
Autopilot engagement limits. The pilot can interrupt ESP by pressing and
holding the Autopilot Disconnect (AP DISC/TRIM INT) switch. If frequent
maneuvers are necessary beyond the engagement threshold, such as
commercial pilot training, the system can be disabled from the AUX/SETUP
2 page. Disabling ESP will cause the ESP OFF advisory to annunciate. The
system can be enabled from the same page, or is automatically enabled at
the next system power-up.
To enable or disable ESP:
1. Turn the large FMS Knob to select the AUX Page Group.
2. Turn the small FMS Knob to select the System Setup Page.
3. If necessary, select the SETUP 2 Softkey to display the AUX-SYSTEM
SETUP 2 Page. If the AUX-SYSTEM SETUP 2 is already displayed, proceed
to step 4.
4. Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
5. Turn the large FMS Knob to place the cursor in the STABILITY &
PROTECTION field.
6. Turn the small FMS Knob to select ‘ENABLE’ or ‘DISABLE’.
7. Press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor.
ESP is automatically enabled on system power up.

ESP Pitch and Roll Modes


When the aircraft reaches the pitch and/or roll engagement limit, the
system commands the servos to apply a supplemental stick force back
toward the nominal attitude range. If the aircraft continues to pitch and/
or roll away from the nominal attitude range, stick forces will increase with
increasing attitude deviation until the maximum Autopilot engagement
limits are reached—at which point ESP will disengage.
ESP attempts to return the aircraft to the nominal attitude range, not to
a specific attitude. As the attitude returns to the nominal range, the stick
forces and attitude rate change are reduced until the aircraft reaches
the disengagement threshold and ESP becomes inactive. Roll protection
engagement limits are annunciated on the PFD as double ticks at 45°
roll attitude (see Figure 9.9-2 and 9.9-3). If the aircraft exceeds 45° roll
attitude, ESP becomes engaged and these indicators migrate to 30° roll
attitude denoting the disengagement threshold—the point at which stick
forces will be removed. No PFD annunciation is provided during pitch ESP
engagement.

Once engaged, ESP force will be applied between 30° and 75°, as
illustrated in Figure 9.9-4. The force increases as roll attitude increases,
and decreases as roll attitude decreases. The applied force is intended to
encourage pilot input that returns the airplane to a more normal roll attitude.
As roll attitude decreases, ESP will disengage at 30°.

Pitch Engagement
ESP engages at 21° nose-up, and 21° nose-down. Once ESP is engaged,
it will apply opposing force between 19° and 50° nose-up, and between
19° and 50° nose-down, as indicated in Figure 9.9-6. Maximum opposing
force is applied between 25° and 50° nose-up and between 25° and 50°
nose-down. This force is intended to encourage movement in the pitch
axis in the direction of the normal pitch attitude range for the aircraft.
There are no indications marking the pitch ESP engage and disengage
limits in these nose-up/nose-down conditions.

High Airspeed Mode
To protect against an overspeed condition, the High Airspeed Mode
uses engagement limits, thresholds, and stick forces similar to those
used for the pitch and roll modes, but is instead triggered by airspeed
and controlled by pitch attitude. When the aircraft reaches the ESP
engagement limit, the system commands the pitch servo to apply a
supplemental stick force back toward the nominal airspeed range.

UNDERSPEED PROTECTION MODE


The GFC 700 Autopilot on the KODIAK is equipped with an underspeed
protection mode. This feature prevents the autopilot from stalling the
airplane by sacrificing altitude for airspeed if needed. Underspeed
Protection has the following features:
• “Airspeed” Aural Callout: This is triggered when the airspeed trend
vector reaches 80 knots with the autopilot engaged. If this aural
callout is heard, the pilot shall correct the decreasing airspeed by
applying sufficient power as necessary.
• MINSPD Annunciation: Shown above the airspeed tape when
the airspeed is 80 knots or less with the flight director active (does
not require autopilot engagement to be shown). This annunciation
is shown to caution the pilot that the current airspeed is below
the minimum autopilot engagement speed. If this annunciation
appears, the pilot shall take action in one of the following
manners:
°° If the autopilot is engaged, apply sufficient power to increase
airspeed above the minimum autopilot speed of 80 knots.
°° If the FD only is active, do not engage the autopilot until
the airspeed is increased above the minimum autopilot
engagement speed of 80 knots. Or, if landing, deactivate the
Flight Director by pressing the FD key on the GMC 710 Mode
Controller. This will remove the annunciation from above the
airspeed tape.
• UNDERSPEED PROTECT ACTIVE CAS Message: Triggered when
the aircraft’s stall warning system is activated and the autopilot
is engaged in an altitude-critical mode (ALT, GS, GP, TO and GA).
When this annunciation is shown, the autopilot will begin pitching
the nose of the aircraft down in order to gain airspeed and prevent
a stall. The pilot shall increase power as required (up to Maximum
Takeoff Power) to regain altitude and airspeed.

Altitude-Critical Mode Underspeed Protection (ALT, GS, GP, GA, TO)
Upon stall warning system activation, the AFCS will abandon its Flight
Director and Autopilot reference modes and sacrifice altitude for airspeed.
The system will hold wings level, and airspeed will progressively increase
until stall warning becomes inactive. If the airplane is not wings-level
when the stall warning system activates, the airplane will achieve and
maintain wings-level flight until stall warning becomes inactive, then
resume its pre-warning lateral heading or track mode. The system will then
increase airspeed an additional +2 knots above the speed at which the
stall warning discontinued. Recovery may be initiated in one of three ways:
1. Add sufficient power to recover to a safe flight condition. If a small
power addition is made, the AFCS will pitch the aircraft to maintain
speed reference. If a large power addition is made, the AFCS recognizes
it via acceleration, and the AP/FD will transition to a nose-up pitch to
aggressively return to original altitude or glidepath/slope.
2. Disengage Autopilot via TRIM INT and hand-fly.
3. Change Autopilot modes to one in which the AFCS can maintain
airspeed (such as VS with a negative rate).

Non-Altitude Critical Mode Underspeed Protection (VS, PIT, VNAV, LVL, FLC)
For all non-altitude critical modes, the Autopilot will maintain its original
reference (VS, PIT, etc.) until airspeed decays to a minimum airspeed
(MINSPD). Crew alert and annunciation during a non-altitude critical
underspeed event are similar to an altitude-critical event, except that:
• Stall warning may not be active. Depending on load tolerances,
the AP/FD may reach the minimum airspeed reference and take
underspeed corrective action before stall warning occurs. If
stall warning does coincide or precede the aircraft reaching its
minimum airspeed reference, it has no influence—only airspeed
affects the AP/FD in non-altitude critical events.
• The originally selected lateral mode remains active. Upon
reaching minimum airspeed, the AFCS will abandon its Flight
Director and Autopilot reference modes and maintain this
airspeed until recovery. As with altitude-critical modes, available
options for recovery are add power, decouple/hand-fly, or change
Autopilot modes. When adding power, unlike the altitude-critical
modes, which performs an aggressive recovery, the AP/FD will
maintain MINSPD until the original reference can be maintained.
Non‑altitude critical modes will maintain the originally selected
lateral mode (HDG, NAV, etc.).

Coupled Go-Around
The autopilot is capable of flying fully coupled go-around maneuvers.
Pressing the GA button on the power lever will not disengage the
Autopilot. Instead, the Autopilot will attempt to capture and track the
Flight Director command bars. If insufficient airplane performance is
available to follow the commands, the AFCS will enter Altitude-Critical
Mode when the stall warning sounds.

NOTE : Refer to the Garmin G1000® Integrated Avionics System Pilot’s


Guide for the Quest KODIAK® 100 for a detailed description of the
annunciator system and all warnings, cautions, and advisories.

Crew Alerting System


AFCS alerts are displayed in the Crew Alerting System (CAS) window
located to the right of the altimeter and VSI. AFCS annunciations are
grouped by criticality and sorted by order of appearance with the most
recent message on top. The color of the message text is based on its
urgency and required action:
• Warning (red)—Immediate crew awareness and action required.
• Caution (amber)—Immediate crew awareness and future
corrective action required.
• Advisory (white)—Crew awareness required and subsequent
action may be required.
In combination with the CAS Window, the system issues an audio alert
when specific system conditions are met and an expanded description of
the condition is displayed in the Alerts Window located in the lower RH
corner of the PFD.

Flight Director modes are displayed on the left and vertical on the right.
Armed modes are displayed in white and active in green. AFCS status
annunciations are displayed on the PFD above the Airspeed and Attitude

AUTOMATIC FLAP CONFIGURATION TRIM


Automatic Flap Configuration Trim (AFCT) functionality is provided
through the GFC 700 autopilot. This feature automatically adjusts the pitch
trim when the flap settings are changed—even when the autopilot is not
engaged. The pitch trim runs in the appropriate direction at a fixed rate to
help compensate for pitch force changes when the flaps are transitioning
and in turn helps reduce pilot workload. Automatic Flap Configuration
Trim can be inhibited by pressing and holding the AP DISC/TRIM INT
switch. The system will again become active once the switch is released.
To prevent the trim from running when the pilot selects the flaps for
takeoff and causing a possible out-of-trim condition, AFCT is inhibited on
the ground by the G1000®. The ground inhibit of AFCT can be overridden
by pressing and holding the ground inhibit interrupt button located on
the upper left portion of the control pedestal behind the instrument
panel. This feature is provided for maintenance checks of the AFCT
function while on the ground.
The G1000® monitors the AFCT system and if any of the required
components are not operating correctly, a FLAP TRIM FAIL annunciation
will be shown. This annunciation is also shown at system power-up as the
G1000® performs its Pre-Flight Test, and will disappear if the system passes
the Pre-Flight Test.

PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM
IND. STATIC PORT

When a third independent static pressure source is installed on the


KODIAK® 100, it takes the form of an aerodynamically compensated static
port on the left side of the fuselage aft of the cargo door. If equipped with
mechanical standby instruments, this static port provides static pressure
to the standby altimeter. If equipped with digital ESI 3‑in‑1 standby
instrumentation, this static port provides pressure for both airspeed
and altitude information. The third static port is not connected to the
mechanical standby airspeed indicator (if equipped) or any of the primary
instruments.
The third static port meets IFR accuracy requirements for all flight
conditions with flaps up or extended to 10°. It also meets IFR accuracy
requirements for all flight conditions with flaps extended to 20° when
the external cargo compartment is installed. If the external cargo
compartment is not installed, the IFR accuracy requirements are met
with 20° of flap deflection at airspeeds below 100 KIAS. The third static
port is accurate for VFR flight only with the flaps extended to 35° in the
normal approach airspeed band. With the flaps at 35° and at airspeeds
approaching the upper limit of 108 KIAS, the standby altimeter may read
up to 100 ft high.

100 SERIES HF Communication System
9.14–7 AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

GENERAL
The KHF 1050 System is a solid-state high frequency (HF) single sideband
(SSB) transceiver system, providing voice communications. The system
consists of a standalone HF Control Display located on the pilot’s side of
the airplane below PFD#1. The HF Control Display is dimmed by using the
lighting rheostat knob located on the instrument panel.
The system is powered through the Avionics Bus and protected by the
HF AMP and HF Controller (HF CONT) circuit breakers located in the main
circuit breaker panel. At the rear of the airplane are a Receiver/Exciter and
Power Amplifier, which are located behind the aft bulkhead of the interior.
The 30 feet of wire antenna is attached to the right of the empennage,
extends up to the Vertical Tail, and then over the left side wing.
The system has “stuck‑mic” protection. If the Push‑to‑Talk button (PTT) has
failed in the engaged position or a transmission is made for more than 120
seconds on the HF radio, the HF system will discontinue the transmission.
The sidetone will no longer be heard and the TX indication on the HF Cont

HF COMM.
will go away. Releasing and pressing the PTT button again will allow for
continued transmission. If the PTT button is inoperative, the HF system will
remain inoperative and maintenance must be performed to correct the
condition.

SYSTEM OPERATION
Communications on the system are made by selecting the desired mode
and frequency from the HF Control Display, then, depending on the audio

9.15–7 AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

GENERAL
The KN 63 DME System consists of a KN 63 DME transceiver installed in the
empennage and an antenna located on the lower side of the outboard
section of the left-hand wing, which integrates with the navigation radio
system installed in the airplane.
The DME transceiver is powered through the Avionics Bus and protected
by the DME circuit breaker located in the main circuit breaker panel.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The G1000® System tunes the KN 63 transceiver. The Ultra High Frequency
(UHF) DME frequency is tuned by pairing with a Very High Frequency
(VHF) Navigation (NAV) frequency. DME frequency pairing is automatic
and only the VHF NAV frequency is shown.
Pressing the DME button on either audio panel turns the DME audio on
and off.
Pressing the DME softkey on either PFD switches the DME tuning window
on and off. Refer to Figure 9.15-1: DME Information.
