KODIAK 100 Flight VLOG! - Orange County to Thermal CA

Like many Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV's), The Kodiak 100 is built to handle the harshest backcountry landing zones but often is only operated from large airport to large airport. Join our Chief Demo Pilot, Mark Brown as he flies a "typical" Kodiak 100 flight from Orange Country CA (KSNA) to Coachella/Thermal CA (KTRM).
Loading, checklists, weight & balance, radio calls, and more!

Mark Brown such a consumate professional. Great plane.

[@eksemos]

I'm planning on seeing Mark at Oshkosh this year. Can't wait to see the Kodiak and let Mark take me on a tour!

[@Farmer_El]

At the 13:18 timestamp his profile reminds me of Eminem. But, yeah, he's really calm, cool and collected.

[@gratt2]

Such a versatile aircraft. Would be very useful in more remote areas for cargo and passenger services (Part 135). I was amazed at the actual operating costs.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Great to "SEE" Zack, well the tip of his camera anyway, great guy!!!

[@VetOnFire]

We dont get to see these aircraft often, very limited videos out there. Bring more Kodiak content !

[@eksemos]

Yes Daher, bring more Kodiak content please!

[@homomorphic]

3 words: missionary bush pilot

[@austingunn734]

@@homomorphic I was going to say the exact same thing. All the Kodiak content you could ever want.

[@1aviatoready214]

Nice flight, thanks for sharing!

[@KodiakAircraft]

Thanks for watching!

[@pedrorego940]

Another great video, thanks for sharing guys!

[@KodiakAircraft]

Thanks for watching!

[@tareklarbi7168]

Thank you 🙏

[@delriv5238]

Awesome. Thanks

[@PeregrinesFury]

Got some yoke.time on one recently, amazing airplane! We were at gross and stopped under 1000 feet.

[@jnbratkowski]

Nice cameras angles!

[@redcauthen771]

Wow, they finally cut all the tam trees out, in 84 you felt like a bush pilot going end there, and could get lost finding the FBO. 😅😅

[@mrmisterno1]

You're announcing that you're entering left downwind runway 12 but then you make right turns? Was this a mistake or am I missing something?

[@jeffhowland7619]

Love SNA!

[@rachellevy7038]

You need Go-Pro's on both sides of the cockpit on the right and left windows ,behind the seat and in front on the dashboard and also on the wings .both the front and back .

[@sascenturion]

Awesome stuff ..very interesting ..im only a new guy into flight simming at home ,I'm loving the kodiak in msfs202. Just wondering next video could you make it a bit brighter inside the cockpit? ...was awefully dark inside to see what was going on. Thanks!

[@ryz8]

hey i got this plane in msfs too. it’s a really great plane love flying it.

[@Chucky90tt1]

Agree, the Kodiak 100 is a joy to fly in FS 2020.

[@Farmer_El]

@@ryz8 I really like it as well. Have you had any issues with it? I sometimes can't take off because it won't go any faster than about 40 knots on the runway with full throttle.

[@ryz8]

@@Farmer_El Yeah, I've experienced that with this plane and a few other DLC plans. Sometimes I have to reset the whole flight to get the plane to work as intended. Also, my screens in the Kodiak are very dim, but I think that's probably a setting thing for screen brightness that I haven't figured out yet.

[@KAPAFlyer]

Did you see that SimWorksStudios (the developer of the MSFS Kodiak) is doing the Kodiak 900?

[@mrMankx]

Nice aircraft

[@fredhorsman]

Great video, thank you for sharing. I vote that the music track is not needed, though.

[@richardherrmann1954]

I'll take one .

[@ducatiluvr]

one day i will have one

[@markstacy9708]

Great video. One pet peeve, it's a yaw damper, not a yaw dampener.

[@thomaslandscapeimaging]

Loved the video.. what’s ideal cruise power for this aircraft? (Ng & prop pitch)

[@Trace32]

Where is the ``positive climb`` gear up ? :P

[@rackum44]

You called left downwind runway 12 but you flew right base.......?

[@lejeq]

What watch does he have?

[@myleslovegrove7856]

Great plane and video other than the very anmoying music in the background. You just don't need it...

[@Farmer_El]

From all the flight videos I've watched (and it has been a lot), ATC always seems to me in a hurry to spit out what they have to say. I realize they probably have a lot of planes to talk to.

[@kenbrand8972]

Great video but please ditch the crummy music please

[@indrajitsg]

A great video. A suggestion, while you are talking about throttle changes etc, can you focus the camera on the MFD to see the changes reflected.

[@georgestoev3875]

L 3:45 000😊/😅

[@Chucky90tt1]

Great aircraft and content!

[@robertlafnear9115]

IF I COULD I WOULD....... This is my most favorite plane ever... Orange & White, Fat Tires, Nice Leather Interior🤗..... and a Hammock under the wing when I get to OSH.😁... Great Video.

[@revhomer3722]

Loved this video. On your next video, Would you talk a bit about engine overhaul requirements for the K100

[@angelossakellariou2832]

Nice one, quick question are there AP rudder servos in the Kodiak?

[@danpiraino]

Mark , what iPad do you recommend?

[@deangianotti906]

i like flying your plane in MSFS 2020!

[@johnhoss2950]

Very nice.

[@KodiakAircraft]

Thank you

[@22nlatitude]

As a 767 captain I can’t help but notice some things. You missed some of the radio responses on clearance and departure. Always write down your clearance on paper. Also, your eyes were in the cockpit for most of the trip. Don’t forget to look outside on vfr flights. Otherwise nice work.

[@MAGApepe]

nice,,, does the throttle ever make it to the stop on takeoff ?
