CONTROL CURVES
We recommend setting all control curves to linear, to allow for finer control response.
FLYING TECHNIQUE
TAKE-OFF RUDDER TRIM
The Kodiak has a very strong pull to the left at maximum power. When taking off, we recommend using 30-50% right trim. Reduce for a right crosswind, increase for a left crosswind.
TAKE-OFF TRIM
Take-off trim range in the Kodiak is 0 to 75% nose-down trim. More aft CG, more forward trim is required. As the G1000 in MSFS does cannot support the layout of the real Kodiak, we opted to include a white line on the trim wheel until the trim overlay is introduced. When the white line is pointing up vertically, trim will be centered. Rotating forward will trim down and rotating back will trim the nose up. The percentage of trim will be 50% when the line is pointing down. When the line is pointing down, trim is at 50% of travel.
INFLIGHT
To ensure a smooth flying experience, when preparing to trim the aircraft for any phase of flight:
1. Set torque to the desired value with the power lever
2. Pitch for trim
3. Pitch for rudder to centre the slip indicator
4. Pitch for roll if required. Higher power settings will require aileron trim.
When making a turn with the aircraft trimmed, use the rudder pedals to centre the slip indicator. Cross-steering (movement of the yoke opposite to the rudder) may be required depending on the amount of rudder used.
