The Kodiak was designed for missionary and humanitarian flying in the remotest parts of the world to replace the aging Cessna 185s and 206s and de Havilland Beavers, all of which are still prowling the planet in support of backcountry operations. But they are increasingly difficult to maintain. And piston engines can be expensive to fuel in the many parts of the world where avgas is nearly impossible to get. The Kodiak’s 700-shaft-horsepower variant of the venerable PT6 turboprop simplifies operations, reduces maintenance, increases reliability, and—although it burns more per hour—actually reduces fuel costs in many places.
