QUEST KODIAK FLIGHT MANUAL
2nd Edition April 16th 2009
INTRODUCTION
The Quest Kodiak is a very unique and quite new, high
technology STOL aircraft, designed to have an extremely
long, hard working life span with a rugged airframe
designed to stand up to all of the elements and difficult
environments of remote parts of the world. This aircraft
features a new form of wing design called
‘discontinuous’ that features a dual leading edge, cord
design. This means basically each wing has two types of
wings on it. The inner wing area is designed to stall at
higher stall speeds while the outer wing sections are designed to stall at slower speeds, enabling longer use of the
ailerons at very slow speeds.
The Quest Kodiak is powered by the awesome Pratt and Whitney PT-6 Jet Turbine engine, producing a maximum of 750
SHP and a continuous output of 700 SHP. The incredible jet can propel the Kodiak into the air on a short field take-off
and get this huge craft up to 180 knots in short order.
Designed by the Missionary Aviation Fellowship, a Christian based group formed after WWII to help impoverished areas of
the world that needed aid and also to supply Christian Ministries. Their plan was to make a plane that could withstand
the huge amounts of wear and tear that such a plane needs to endure, on a daily basis, for decades. What they came up
with is this 10 seater, high wing configuration aircraft with the airframe of a tank, sporting a dependable jet powerplant
that can run on basic fuels that are found all over the world. The fuselage is also designed for hauling cargo, boasting
248 Cubic Feet of cargo space, and 310 Cubic Feet ‘with’ cargo belly pod fitted.
The Avionics system is the famed Garmin G1000 panel screen system, featuring a complete array of data management,
from various GPS based data and terrain maps, to a complete Avionics sweet for all forms of aero navigation, which is
most needed in the remote reaches of the world. The standard Garmin package presently ordered by most is the Garmin,
G1000 system that uses the S-TEC 5-50X Auto Pilot.
It should be noted that Quest provide a Missionary plane at cost to the MAF for every 10th aircraft they produce. The
MAF Christian Group have already scheduled many missionary plane orders with Quest.
INTRODUCTION
With a Stall speed of 59 knots with full flaps, STOL take-off capabilities, cruise of 150 knots, and a maximum of nearly
190 knots, this is the ultimate Bush plane of today, an adventure aircraft designed to go where no other plane is designed
to go, and endure the roughest elements and locations that can be found. This is the Quest Kodiak.

MODEL FEATURES
Exterior: The Quest Kodiak FS model features all animated doors,
including the clam shell sky-door at the rear for passengers and cargo
loading, all animated control surfaces and landing gear. The unique
dual ʻdiscontinuousʼ wing design, and air flow disturbance vains on the
elevator surfaces. Each model version also comes with an optionally
selectable cargo belly pod.
Interior: The interior of the Kodiak model features 4 variants to choose
from; Passenger model with seats for 10 and optional leather
upholstery, Cargo model with a full load of various cargo boxes, an Air
Ambulance Rescue model complete with a patient in the onboard
gurney and full medical equipment throughout, and lastly, an empty
model designed to represent the Sky Diver version of Kodiak, (featuring
a toggle ʻhiding cargo doorʼ which looks like the door has been removed for sky diving use).
Panel: The Instrument panel was painstakingly developed from a huge
amount of high detail photographs of actual, latest build Kodiaks from
the factory in Idaho. All switches and layouts, center power console,
Garmin panel system, S-Tec 5-50 Auto Pilot, and even the 8 position
sun visors are featured in this high detail model package. To
accompany this, a nice, high detail 2D panel accompanies the package,
as well as several new popup window consoles which include the ECU
power center, Switches console, and Fuel Selector Cutoff center. The
Auto Pilot and each Garmin screen also popup to larger scale for easier
reading of the gauges.
MODEL FEATURES CONT’D
Float Plane: The real world Quest Kodiak is fitted with attach points for fitting Amphibian floats. In this model, we have
recreated the actual floats used by the factory, a new composite design that features a state of the art lower hull shape for
superior water surface performance and includes retractable landing gear system.
The new Kodiak for FS features this new Amphibian float set
with as much high detail as possible. Note the dual main
gear , the pylon struts, step beams, and sophisticated
retracting nose gears. The water rudders animate with Water
Rudder command, (Command W in FSX, Shift W in FS2004).
MODEL FEATURES CONT’D

GARMIN G1000 SYSTEM
The Garmin G1000 glass panel system by Lionheart Creations is designed to be extremely easy on frame rates and easy
to operate. Many of the key elements in the screens can be clicked on and actuated ʻdirectlyʼ via mouse clicking, such as
tuning Freqʼs on the radio system, tuning the Transponder, heading, and many other settings. They also have standard
knob controls as well, giving them dual location ʻcontrolsʼ, for both simple operation as well as the Novice mode of pro
interaction with the panel systems.

GARMIN GPS RESOURCE IMPROVEMENTS
Lionheart Creations have been tackling the issues of seeking to improve frame rate issues on ʻGlass Panel Systemsʼ such
as the FS version Garmin G1000 system. We have learned some interesting points of interest on what causes slow
frame rates in Flight Simulator. One fact is that with Flight Simulator ʻrenderingʼ constantly an ever changing ʻmapʼ of the
GPS world on the GPS (MFD) screen, computer resources are being taken up. To aid this, we have created some
interesting little tools.
* DECLUTTER This is a menu button and ʻdetail levelʼ of which lowers the ʻobjectsʼ rendered in the MFD map. To lower
them ʻincrementallyʼ, continue to press the DECLUTTER button. There are 3 lower levels, ending with only airports
being rendered in the GPS Map.
* TERRAIN (NIGHT MODE) This is the original ʻlow memoryʼ version that Microsoft uses in their GPSʼs, going to only 2
color versions of map background, appearing like night, with water being one color, and the terrain being another color,
again lowering computer resources levels.
* MAP (SLEEP MODE) This is a ʻcreationʼ by Lionheart Creations where the Map can be sent to sleep and will not render
any Map components or terrain. The screen, aside from the Engine ECIAS system window, will appear black.
* REFRESH RATES This is another ʻcreationʼ by Lionheart Creations to further ʻenhanceʼ computer performance with
MFD computer screens. This ʻloweredʼ Refresh Rate tune lowers the amount of times a minute that the screen is rerendered. (The GPS window is constantly re-rendered as it changes and moves). We have minimized Renderings to
allow for higher frame rates. The result is barely perceptible to the sim pilot.
* EXTERIOR DUMMY SCREENS The exterior Kodiak models now feature ʻfakeʼ or dummy Garmin screens, which
when in spot plane view will even further enhance frame rates, thus localizing the Garmin screens to only the 2D panel
mode, and VIrtual Cockpit modes.
MAP BUTTON AND SLEEP MODE
Here are some features of the new ʻMAPʼ menu button and ʻresource savingʼ
techniques for faster frame rates in Flight Simulator. The newest MAP button
now navigates you through 3 ʻmodesʼ of the GPS map; ʻSleep modeʼ,
ʻHeading Upʼ mode (normal view), and ʻNorth Upʼ mode which is great for
orienting your GPS view with a map.
Lastly, there is ʻnightʼ mode or TERRAIN. Clicking on the small menu button
labeled TERRAIN will produce this view with only 2 colors rendered for the
map background. See below.
There is also the DECLTTR (de-clutter) Menu option which is 3 levels of
scenery detail, from extreme detail showing all terrain features, to simple
airports only view mode.

The Radios in a Garmin G1000 and G900 System are located along the top of the PFD and MFD screens. These include
NAV1, NAV2, COM1, and COM2. When you tune a Frequency into a section, such as NAV1, you can either Mouse-click
on the screen over the digits in the right side ʻStand-Byʼ section (in Blue Box), or you can use the tuning knob. There is a
NAV tuning knob on the left, and COM tuning knob on the right. To move a Freq you have entered into the ʻActiveʼ (left
side) zone, click the double sided arrow button, (Active Switchover).

ENGINE SYSTEMS WINDOW
This is the unique, simple
Engine and Aircraft Primary
Systems Readout Center, also
known as ECIAS.
On the Quest Kodiak, your
primary 4 Jet Turbine
management gauges are along
the top.
Below those 4 gauge sections,
are the Engine system,
Electrical ʻSystemʼ, and then a
very elaborate Fuel system
center that gives you many
calculations such as Endurance,
Fuel Used, etc.
At the bottom are your Flaps
and Trim sections, showing
Rudder, Elevator, and Aileron
Trim. Note that in this Simulator
version of the Kodiak, that
Aileron Trim is not used or
available.
NOTE ON TURBINE MANAGEMENT IN FLIGHT
The Pratt and Whitney jet turbine turboprops, such as the PT6-67A and other ʻhigh output powerplants, require extreme
caution when it comes to RPM and Torque management. For instance, when taking off, your Torque value should not
redline for more then a certain amount of time, such as 30 seconds to 1 min. varying from one class of turbine to another.
The same with the prop RPM. Over revving the Turbine will cause impellar and turbine blade damage over a period of
time, that will eventually cause the jet to lower its performance rate to a very low level, burning more fuel, smoking, and
lowering Torque output levels. This is a sign of a turbine that has been abused if you should get into one that has low
engine hours.
The prop, propellor assembly and gearbox can also suffer from over-torque for long periods of time. In some instances,
breakdown of the airframe can occur, such as the actual Jet framework that holds powerplant to the airframe, and even
the cowling, causing warping from a twisted, out of alignment frame within.
In Flight Simulator, this isnt so apparent. But in the real world, this is a very important issue when flying the actual aircraft
with such a powerful Jet Turbine as the Quest Kodiak.
TIPS FOR FLYING THE TURBINE
When taking off, use only enough power to take-off. Once you are airborn, pull back the power enough to maintain your
climb. Adjust prop RPM as necessary, especially to keep it out of the red zone. When setting up for cruise, adjust Torque
and prop to green zones and set up for either Economy flight (fuel cautious) or Performance mode (fast cruise).
If you aquire an actual Quest Kodiak, take very special care of your Turbine and it will last a very long time. Abuse the
powerplant and its sub-systems like the transmission and sophisticated prop assembly, and you will have to replace or
repair them.

HIGH PERFORMANCE TEXTURE PACKS
Lionheart Creations attempt to make all product lines of Flight Simulation aircraft with the highest standards of graphics
excellence. In going down this path, using many textures that are oversized (in the case of FSX) and in 32bit High
Resolution format (such as with FS2004), that some of our aircraft will not perform fast on older, less performance
oriented computer systems and some
ʻless powerfulʼ laptop computers.
To aid our customers with higher
performance for such cases as these,
we have a High Performance Texture
Pack installer that you can download.
This brings all textures to proper 1024
pixels square ʻsizeʼ and all textures are
brought to standard format. With
FS2004, this will make all textures DXT3
stock format, and in FSX, all textures will
be made DDS DXT5 format.
This performance pack along side our
improvements and concepts added to
the MFD screen system should enable
the Quest Kodiak for FS a good
performer to fly on your system.
INSTALLATION
To install the Kodiak package onto your computer, simply run the Installer. On page 4 of the Installer, you will have a
choice of which version to install. The standard selection will be FS2004. To select FSX, click the flyout button on the
right of the FS2004 select window, and you will then see FSX as well as FS2004 as the options. Select FSX for the FSX
Installation version.
Note that these are both ʻtwoʼ completely different aircraft packages. You ʻcannotʼ run the FSX version in the FS2004
Simulator. The FS2004 package will not run very well in the FSX Simulator. Make sure you install the correct Sim version
of aircraft into the correct Simulators.
If the Installer cannot, for some reason, find
your Flight Simulator installation, then
create a Desktop folder, and run the
Installer again. At the point where it shows
you where it will install to, click the Browse
button and redirect the Installer to the
Temporary folder you created. From there,
open a new Navigation window to your
Simulator and from the desktop folder, drag
and drop the components from its folders,
into the same identical folders in your
Simulator. Example; ʻcontentsʼ in Gauges
folder to the main Gauges folder in your
Simulator.
Note that in FSX, aircraft folders go into the
FSX/Sim Objects/Airplanes folder. In
FS2004, all aircraft go into the FS2004/
Aircraft folder.
FLYING THE QUEST KODIAK
System startup
For doing a cold start in the Kodiak, switch on your Avionics and Battery
power. Switch on the Aux Bus switch as well. Move the red power
Condition lever (looks like a mixture lever near the throttle lever on the
center ECU console) and move that to the 40% position. Set parking
brakes to ʻONʼ with ʻControl / . ʻ Above you are the fuel cutoff selectors for
the wing tanks. Ensure both are on and in the green zone. Click on the
Starter toggle switch between 3 and 6 times. In that amount of time, the
Jet turbine should fire up. Sometimes it only takes 3 toggles, sometimes it
will take a full 6 toggles or clicks. You will then hear the turbine come to
ignite and come to life, and the prop will then spool up.
Taxiing the Kodiak is quite easy. Use about 1/4 throttle to taxi when in
40% Condition Lever mode.
Note: There is not a 3D ʻParking Brake Leverʼ in the virtual cockpit. You will need to use the keyboard to actuate this
feature.
Takeoffs
When preparing to takeoff, you will need to move the Condition Lever to 100%. This is most important. You could
possibly not have enough power to take off without that lever in full forward position. Insure that all doors are closed and
secure. Check lights as needed.
For short field take-offs, you will need to set Flaps accordingly. Flaps in the FS version Kodiak will begin to add moderate
drag as you increase flaps. There are three selections of flaps available, Min, Center, Maximum, and off or none. Only
take off with Min to Center flaps. Do ʻnotʼ use full flaps in a take off maneuver. If doing a ʻgo aroundʼ landing, make sure
to reset flaps to off, Min, or Center selection settings.
Takeoffs Contʼd
Short field STOL take-offs will almost always use at least one notch of
flaps. If your craft is heavy, you might use Center Selection (2 notches) of
flaps.
When on your take-off run, at roughly 76 Knots, you should be able to
rotate the craft up, and achieve take off. At higher altitudes and heavier
load conditions, you ʻwillʼ require more speed and possibly 2 notches of
flaps.
You ʻcanʼ achieve a semi-radical climb rate with the unique design of the
Kodiak wings and their lift properties. Just do not let you air speed fall
under stall conditions. Note 0-flaps stall is roughly 79 knots, and
maneuvering air speed us 145 Knots.
Flight
When you have achieved your climb-out and are leveling off, adjust your elevator trim wheel accordingly to maintain level
flight. Reduce throttle of the PT-6 turbine to enable a proper cruise speed between 145 and 180 Knots. Do not exceed
187 Knots, as that is your maximum VNE, (Velocity Never Exceed). Keeping the turbine running in high throttle ranges
can take you to overspeed. Please note your airspeed and throttle settings accordingly.
Learn to adjust your prop RPM when in flight mode, to lower your prop Torque value to stay in the green zone on long
cruises. This is done with the blue prop control knob. Torque should ʻnotʼ stay in the red or damage may occur to your
prop, turbine transmission, and even the airframe itself. Always monitor your Torque gauge in the Engine ECIAS window
on the center MFD screen.
Landings
When setting up to land your Kodiak, reduce speed as needed. If coming into
a very short field (short runway) area, you will wish to slow down adequately
ʻbeforeʼ arriving near the airfield. Move your blue prop lever to full forward
(100%) position, lower throttle accordingly. At 138 Knots or less, you may go
to first notch of flaps. This will help you to slow down as well. Note when
using flaps, you will have some lift occur and will need to add ʻdownʼ trim and
or ʻaddʼ some down force to the flight control yokes.
NORMAL LANDING, STANDARD ALTITUDE: You may use full flaps and
make a landing at roughly 60 Knots if not too heavily loaded. When at very slow speeds, ensure you do not stall your
Kodiak. Slower speeds are good for short field STOL landings, but will require delicate attention and balance to your
speed and lift. Learn to get a feel for your plane and when she starts to come close to full stall.
HIGH ALTITUDE STOL LANDINGS: Keep your speed up higher, especially if you are coming in heavy. With full flaps,
you will probably require 85 to 90 Knots speed to maintain good flight.
When making a landing on a rough terrain, unpaved runway, you will wish to keep the nose gear up as much as possible
when having just touched down. This ensures your nose gear will not be structurally compromised. Use reverse pitch
(thrust reverser or Keyboard F2) to slow down with or without using your brakes. On very short mountain runways and
short forest runways, you will wish to use both sources to slow down with. Note, in keeping the nose gear high, you also
ensure not hitting the prop on ground objects, etc. This is a primary reason why the Kodiak is designed with a high nose
gear, keeping the huge 4 bladed prop in a good clearance distance to the ground and possible ground objects such as
tree branches, etc.
After landing, check flaps to be returned to full up position.
Shutdown
When shutting down your Kodiak, set Parking Brakes to ʻONʼ position, (Control / . ). Begin powering down all electrical
systems, such as lights, Air Conditioning, pitot heat, etc. Pull back the red Condition lever to full out or off position.
Above you, turn off the fuel selector levers, ensuring they are in the ʻred zoneʼ. Lastly, turn off main electrical power.
There are three primary power switches at the far left of the panel switch console, one red, and two white. Switch them
off, by Avionics first, then Aux and then primary ʻRedʼ power switch.
When tying down your Kodiak, ensure that you secure the prop as well. You should never allow the prop to ʻfree spinʼ as
this can damage the turbine and also possibly hurt someone that might walk close to the silent spinning prop assembly. If
it hits someone, it could hurt them. Straps are provided that wrap around two of the blades and connect to the turbine
exhaust stacks.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Aircraft Not Showing Up
If your new Kodiak aircraft are not showing up in your simulator after installing them, then somehow the Installer has
missed your install location. You will need to manually install your planes. Simply create a Temporary folder on your
desktop. Run the Installer again. This time, before it begins the actual installation, click the browse button and direct it to
the Temp folder. After it is finished, you will need to transfer contents from its new folders, into your Flight Simulator
folders. It is actually quite easy as the folders are marked identical to where your folder contents are to be transfered to.
Example, aircraft to aircraft, gauges to gauges, effects to effects, etc.
Slow Frame Rates
If you are experiencing low frame rates, 2 things are probably the culprit here. One is the MFD GPS screen. Second is
the high resolution and large textures of the aircraft package.
OPTION ONE: On the MFD screen, you will find a small Menu button labeled ʻMapʼ. Select this to turn off your GPS
Terrain map. The system will be in sleep mode, and Flight Simulator will no longer be rendering the sophisticated GPS
window. This will save a large amount of frame rate useage and valuable computer resources. You can also opt for using
ʻDeClutterʼ, (small menu button as well) which will have stages of GPS screen cleanup, where you can lower objects in
the screen to ʻonly airportsʼ, which lowers Rendering needs of the GPS. Third, you can click the ʻTerrainʼ Menu button
which will bring the GPS map into a dark ʻnight timeʼ like mode. This will also not cost alot of system resources and
enable high frame rates.
OPTION TWO: Download the ʻHigh Performance Textures Packʼ from Lionheartcreations.com at the Kodiak website;
www.lionheartcreations.com/Kodiak
Transparent Aircraft Exteriors
If you have just installed your new Quest Kodiak and find that the exteriors in Spot Plane View mode are ʻtransparentʼ,
then you will have to download the Flight Simulator X, Service Pack 1, or ʻFSX SP1ʼ. Go to www.fsinsiders.com and
go to the downloads section and locate the SP1 Service Pack for FSX and install that. You can also run the SP2 Service
Pack as well, but its not necessary. Reboot your Computer and start up FSX and you will find your aircraft in proper order.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Aircraft will not take off
If you save your plane in a ʻcold startʼ point, and you had used a previous aircraft weight setting, you could possibly find
that your weight settings are overloaded. Reset the weight settings to the original that the Kodiak came with. Another
thing that can cause the Kodiak to fail to take off,
is if you have Auto Pilot on, and the Altimeter
lock setting is at or below your altitude, in which
case, the AP system will not allow you to climb,
and take-off will not occur.
Finding your plane in Flight Simulator
When going to select your Kodiak, you will need
to locate ʻQuest Aircraftʼ in the Aircraft Selection
Center in Flight Simulator. The Kodiak is
manufactured by Quest, and thus that is the
location of the aircraft. :)
NON FUNCTIONING AND
DUMMY SWITCHES

Asia, Eurasia, and Latin America. Each year, MAF flies some 3.2 million miles in remote regions of the world in support of
nearly 600 missions, Christian organizations, and NGOs. In addition to flight services, MAF provides communications
services to isolated areas worldwide including e-mail, HF/VHF radios, internet access, and networking solutions as well as
distance education.
These flights support Christian workers, evangelists, teachers, medical personnel, as well as relief and development
workers. MAF planes haul food, seed, and livestock;
transport the sick and injured; deliver doctors,
medicine, and relief supplies; and carry the materials
for a better life to people who need it most people
others cannot reach

MAF veteran and Quest Visionary Dave Voetmann, in
partnership with Tom Hamilton, is responsible for the
reality that is Quest Aircraft today. With more than 40
years of personal experience both flying for
humanitarian and relief organizations and raising
funds to support these efforts, Voetmann realized the
great need for a new-generation backcountry aircraft.
After years of dreaming and planning, he and
Hamilton launched Quest Aircraft in 1998.
SPIRITUAL MESSAGE
What is an Angel?
What is a Servant of God?
Surely is it not their actions in life, the words they say, the thoughts in their hearts, the paths they take?
A well will either bare sweet water or sour water.
A bush will either bare fruit or thistles.
A man will either seek to do good, or to do bad.
A calling might be to simply help an elderly person to cross a busy street, your presence being a great service to aid someone on a
short, dangerous journey.
You might see the opportunity to pray for someone, that a disease will be lifted from them.
And you might decide you wish to journey to a far away land and help a small village of impoverished souls that have barely what
they need to simply survive, souls that yearn for the good in life, souls that have hope and faith and need help to cross a dangerous
point in their life when they seek to grow, to become a better people.
Messengers, deliverers, helpers.
Angels, prophets, prayer warriors.
Helping a single soul on a journey, or a village of good people to become better, healed and able to read and write, plant fields, and
see the good things in life where once they had never known such things existed.
What is a Missionary pilot?
An Angel? A messenger? A deliverer?
Surely a servant of the Most High God, a servant of the King of Kings. A worker of God...
May God bless the Missionary Pilots,
May He keep them safe, strong, healthy, ever positive, ever courageous.
May He guide them and keep them safe, and bless them with great and mighty deeds of mercy, compassion, planting seeds of hope,
and faith.
In Jesus Christs precious name we pray,
Amen and Amen...
