The Kodiak 900 was developed for owners and operators seeking to expand the legendary Kodiak 100’s proven capabilities without sacrificing its rugged characteristics. While preserving the Kodiak 100’s exceptional short takeoff and landing performance, forgiving flight characteristics and operational versatility, the Kodiak 900 adds greater speed, increased payload, enhanced passenger comfort.
The Kodiak 900 introduces a new powerplant to the Kodiak family. The Pratt & Whitney PT6A-140A engine is a free-power, two-shaft turbine engine with 900 shaft horsepower. 20% more than on the Kodiak 100. The -140A type consists of two independent turbines: one drives the compressor/gas generator while the second drives the propeller through a reduction gearbox.
The PT6A-140A delivers more horsepower, which brings about faster climbs, and a maximum cruise speed of 210 KTAS.
With the relocation of the battery and reworked/removed MCU system, there is now more room in the engine bay between engine and turbine. The extra space is welcomed by mechanics. Working on the powerplant will not require removal of other components. The borescope access provides for easy maintenance. The Kodiak 900 also features engineering enhancements to the air intake and ducting systems resulting in significantly less drag and greater efficiency.
The Kodiak 900 features Hartzell constant speed, full-feathering, reversible, hydraulically actuated, composite 5-bladed propeller. This 97-inch diameter propeller diameter adds significant performance to climbs, descents, and cruise, all the while reducing noise both within and outside the aircraft. The prop clearance comes in at 15.4 inches, giving enough room for rough, uneven, off-pavement operations. The propeller edge also features nickel plating to protect the composite material and improving its lifespan.

Certified to the latest airworthiness standards, the Kodiak 900 is the safest and most reliable aircraft in its class.
The Kodiak 900 retains the unique “discontinuous leading edge” wing design of the Kodiak 100, which provides excellent handling qualities and protection against aerodynamic stalls – including at low speeds and while maneuvering. When most airplanes would stall, the Kodiak continues to fly.
As airspeed decreases, the wing's innovative configuration enables the aircraft to retain roll authority while approaching stall conditions, giving pilots added confidence during slow-flight operations. Vortex generators on both the wing and horizontal stabilizers further enhance controllability by improving airflow and delaying aerodynamic stall.
The result is an airplane that combines exceptional capability with predictable flying qualities throughout every phase of flight.
The relocated autopilot control panel integrates advanced safety features, including Electronic Stability Protection (ESP), Level Mode, Underspeed Protection, and Coupled Go-Around capabilities, helping reduce pilot workload while enhancing safety and confidence throughout every phase of flight.
Standard features like Synthetic Vision and an integrated moving map provide essential flight information—including traffic, terrain, weather, navigation aids, and obstacles. A frequency identifier displays the name of the tuned facility for added clarity, while available SurfaceWatch technology enhances runway safety.
Enhances situational awareness and flight planning with a Vertical Situation Display that provides a graphical view of the aircraft’s altitude. Integrated weight-and-balance tools allow pilots to calculate loading directly in the cockpit, while flexible moving map options display terrain, sectional, and IFR charts.
The Garmin GDL 60 provides advanced aircraft connectivity, enabling seamless communication between the avionics system and compatible mobile devices. Beyond EFB integration and streamlined data exchange, it also enables the Aircraft Status feature within Me & My Kodiak, giving operators remote visibility into key aircraft data before arriving at the aircraft and helping optimize preflight preparation and operational efficiency.
The MD302 electronic standby instrument provides independent backup flight information, including attitude, airspeed, altitude, and altitude trend data. It ensures pilots have access to essential flight information in the event of a primary avionics failure.
