The Kodiak is an ultra-modern single-engine 10-seat short takeoff and landing aircraft designed and built for the 21st century. The Kodiak began life as a rugged, simple-to-fly backcountry airlift platform - easily converted from carrying passengers to cargo. It introduces scores of improvements over the original design, including the state-of-the-art Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite. Advanced avionics and advanced engineering make this the safest, most economical airplane in its class.
