ABOVE: The cockpit is clean, well organized and nicely laid out ergonomically. There are two
PFDs and a center-located MFD. With the ability to custom split the different screens, there
are endless display options available to each pilot.

MIDDLE: The quadrant is pretty standard turboprop stuff, with the emer power lever, power,
prop and condition levers. The big trim wheel is a nice touch, though we found ourselves
using the electric trim mostly. The Kodiak features full reverse capability, so getting stopped
once you land is fast, loud and effective.

BELOW: One thing that hasn't changed are the big trademark Kodiak rudder/brake pedals.
Hey, flying is supposed to be fun, right? In this plane, there's no denying it.
