The flaps malfunctioned, they were locked in place from what Dr.Amir said in his video.

[@Timoftx1776]

I recently watched a video about an American surgeon that bought a new Kodiak 100. He says his experience with Daher and Kodiak is a nightmare. He paid for the expensive warranty plan and Kodiak has been less than cooperative after a window cracking, engine parts failing, paint peeling and Kodiak mechanics scratching his windows. That is a beautiful aircraft and I hope you keep us informed on how you are treated by Kodiak in the future. May you have fair skys and tailwinds

The instrument panel and its coaming are too high which restricts the vertical FOV; (Field of Vision) like many other aircraft and I am not short in the upper torso.

[@hiflyer1168]

There's only so much space and so much to mount.

[@rafaelfigueroa2479]

This is by design in IFR focused airplanes, where you have to see instruments and outside simultaneously. Larger external FOV usually is present in VFR planes, RV-10 and Sling TSI are examples, as many other LSA with glass domes.

[@MGMidget73]

​​@@EduardoGarciaKodiakDr Amir was loving it as well until he reported an issue where they didn't back up their warranty. If true, no excuse on a multi million dollar aircraft. I haven't heard whether they stepped up and did the right thing. Hoping you don't experience a similar situation. Sometimes when a company starts playing games on warranty issues that is a first sign they may be having financial issues. And if they go under your warranty not worth the paper it is written on. You will just be in line behind the other creditors. Want to add. Though most companies can be at risk that is why I would of leaned towards the Caravan even though the Kodiak has some advantages. Cessna a more based company. But it comes down to how risk adverse you are. I'd stay on top of scheduled maintenance so you have your bases covered on your end. Your Kodiak is a beautiful aircraft and I wish you have no issues like Dr. Amir.
