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 retaining the Kodiak 100’s renowned utility and STOL performance, the Kodiak 900 delivers greater speed, payload, and 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 higher cruise speeds.
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.
In retaining the Kodiak’s legendary STOL (short takeoff and landing) characteristics – and the ability to operate from off-airport/backcountry strips – the Kodiak 900’s main and nose landing gear are strengthened for the aircraft’s increased weight and loads.
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.
The weather radar, integrated in the Garmin G1000 Nxi, enhances situational awareness with advanced storm detection, turbulence monitoring, and real-time weather visualization
Provides intuitive control of the aircraft’s ice protection systems, allowing pilots to quickly monitor and manage anti-ice and de-ice functions for safer operation in challenging weather conditions.
As with the Kodiak 100, the Kodiak 900’s integrated flight deck incorporates the latest Garmin 1000 NXi avionics package in a cockpit designed by pilots for maximum ergonomics and safety.
Standard features include the GFC 700 digital autopilot with Electronic Stability and Protection, Synthetic Vision Technology, SurfaceWatch runway monitoring, GDL 60 datalink, and ADS-B capability.
This version of the G1000 NXi also includes 3-D audio and WireAware for increased pilot situational awareness and operational safety. The 3-D audio provides spatial awareness for the pilot, enabling channel separation and directional information of the different radio transmissions – along with communications among crew and passengers on the ICS (intercommunications system) – with advanced auditory signaling from the avionics into the headset.
Speaker ambient noise compensation is a new feature that automatically adjusts the cockpit volume to appropriate levels for the existing environment.
Building on the proven versatility of the Kodiak 100, the Kodiak 900 delivers enhanced performance with higher cruise speed, extended range, and increased payload capacity.
Designed to adapt quickly to changing operational needs, it transitions seamlessly from passenger transport to cargo operations, including oversized and palletized loads.
Its flexible cabin can be configured for a wide range of missions, from executive and commuter seating to medevac operations and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) workstations.
A wide fuselage, large cargo door, and expansive windows improve accessibility and visibility, while the integrated cargo pod maximizes cabin space and enables the installation of mission equipment and sensors.
Whatever the mission, the Kodiak 900 is a dependable, capable, and ready-to-perform aircraft.
Built for a wide range of missions, the Kodiak 900 combines a spacious cargo hold with multiple cabin configuration options to suit virtually any operation. Its generous payload capacity and mission-ready versatility make it an ideal solution for operators who prioritize flexibility without compromise.
The Kodiak 900’s spacious cabin gives every passenger room to relax and enjoy the journey. Generous legroom and a thoughtfully designed layout create a comfortable environment where everyone can travel with ease.
Mounted on quick-adjust seat rails, the seats can be easily repositioned to optimize legroom, cargo space, or passenger capacity, allowing the cabin to adapt seamlessly to every mission.
Refined over successive generations of Kodiak aircraft, the latest seat design delivers improved comfort and support, making every flight more enjoyable for pilots and passengers alike.
The Kodiak 900’s tall cabin provides exceptional headroom throughout the interior, creating a more open and comfortable environment for every passenger. The generous cabin height helps occupants feel less confined, enhancing overall comfort during both short trips and long journeys.
Provides personalized support and optimal seating comfort for passengers of all sizes, helping reduce fatigue and enhance the overall travel experience.
Independent airflow controls for the cockpit and cabin allow pilots and passengers to maintain their preferred comfort levels, ensuring a pleasant environment throughout the flight.
It provides easy and convenient access to the cabin, simplifying boarding, loading and unloading while maintaining the aircraft’s rugged utility and clean exterior design
