- A quick look at the Kodiak Amphibian in Microsoft Flight Simulator - taking it for a quick flight from Whalsay to Out Skierries in the Shetland Islands. Who knew a float plane would be this much fun ?

Such a very nice sea plane. I don't have the wheeled Kodiak but probably get this float version. Lately I really been into flying the classic flying boats and sea planes too. Something about landing and taking off around remote tropical islands, the serenity is priceless.
It's great fun.
Love the Kodak and welcome the float version. Haven’t considered this part of the world so will check it out for future events in the “Floatiak”. Thanks for the Video.
Buttons to hush the irritant are next to gear lights. Just left of where you pulled the breaker.
Thankyou!
@@jonbeckett VFL0561 at your service ;)
I can’t get my kodiak to move with floats on tarmac.
Put the wheels down :)
Did you all know that the gear is up for water landing? Water landing. And the gear is up for it.
PS - Water landing. Gear is up for water landing. Just so you know.
PPS - Do not forget about the water landing and that the gear is up for it.
I'm not sure I heard you - can you tell me that again ?
You baught this ?? that was faster than Harry and Megan leaving town indeed another good review but I will just wait for the wheeled version mod and save me quid for that dec holiday and purchase the 414 and Hopefull the MSN Beaver will be somewhat study level which is comming in Nov.
For some reason whenever I’m ready to fly the plane will not move even at full power, is this a glitch or am I missing something? And yes the parking break was off, I play on xbox too
I can’t either.
@@stefanblackadder5236it’s frustrating eh, waste of money
blimey you forgot the IG on and AV BUS 1 and 2 and never full mix before taxi but otherwise you didn't blow up the engine.
The circles are fish farms. ;)
~ Water landing, gear is up for water landing (x10) ~
"Okay she's annoying me now.. I don't know how to turn her off.. I do know there's a breaker over here, which wee cannn shut her up"
😂😂😂
I know, right :)
So ignition isn't necessary? I always do Fuel pump > Ignition > Starter on startup in the Kodiak II
Interesting. I would also have thought that ignition was required…. 🤔
Ignition is only required when you use the starter in "lo" mode. In high mode, the ignition switch is not required. What I don't know is if ignition is in some kind of auto-mode when doing a "high start" or if there truly is no ignition required. I also think the real-life rule is that the first start of the day should be done with high mode but subsequent starts, assuming the engine is still warm, are done in "lo" mode.
That reminds me of a story about the 737 and Airbus. I *think* it's true of both of them. You know how you start the right engine first on the big jets typically? The right engine charges the hydraulics for the brakes. There's a real-world accident report where a pilot started the left engine first on a morning and the plane rolled into the tug, damaging it - because the hydraulics didn't get charged up :)
If you go to the Juno airport they have docs with people standing on them awaiting seaplane arrivals. Plenty immersive also. I love the Kodiak but I’m not sure I will spring for the float version. I love my zodiac with floats. I can get in and out very small lakes and streams!!!
I'll try and visit this weekend :)
That’s cute thanks. Of course I put the wheels down. Oddly if I pause the game and then unpause, it slams it back down. I also couldn’t get any power at full throttle.
There is a prop latch you have to release on the Amphibious version of the Kodiak. It's there so that the plane isn't pulled forward in the water when idling. You do so by moving the prop pitch lever to feather and then back to full forward position. It can take a couple attempts to get the timing right.
That hill after the lighthouse would be awesome for plane spotting ! Takeoff was never in any doubt :) The cowboy bush pilot in me would have left the flaps up for more acceleration then thrown them out to push the plane off the ground at VR, I guess that's why I'm only allowed to fly a sim not a real Kodi 😀
Hehehehe
There's at least 3 different ways to startup the Kodiak, and everyone does it a bit differently. So funny.
Yep :)
Looks nice. I haven’t brought the kodiak yet, but hopefully they release a bundle deal for the original wheeled and float versions together!
It's great fun.
I hope they do release a full package.
I have both, and together, they are the most complete bundle of planes to fly basically anywhere in the world.
It would have been nice to see an external view of the water landing!
Next time!
how can you fly and maneuver in that arcade game view?
Badly lol
Oh, these women !! 😁 Super fly...!😎
:)
At one point during the ahrs alignment, you said something like “keep the wings level? It’d be bloody impossible to tilt them on the ground.” Just fyi, you can have need to do the ahrs alignment while airborne, not just on the ground. I saw it on one of the missionary bush pilot vids where he was with a copilot and they deemed it to be misaligned and he redid the alignment in the air. I wasn’t sure if your comment implied that you thought it only occurred on the ground, so if it did, now you know :)
Heh - I'll have to look out for that video.
@@jonbeckett I'll link it if I come across it again. I believe the criteria is level flight with no acceleration for the duration of the calibration. Can't imagine its easy and it makes me curious as to the tolerance for error. I was thinking about giving it a try in the Kodiak, pulling the fuse for the G1000 and relying on the ESI500 while I get the AHRS calibrated. I'll link the vid of that too if I end up doing it.
@@jonbeckett Found it as I watched back through my history. At 6:20 in this vid, they get a AHRS failure from one of the bumps on takeoff and he had to redo the initialization on their departure in the air. Interesting. Also interesting is that during my tour though my history, I saw another time where he got a flap failure on the g1000 during his checklist which was interesting. Anyway, here is that vid:

And I just found the flap fail if that peaked your curiosity. At 5:30 here:

If you can’t tell, I’m obsessed with the Kodiak.
fish farm
Looks sweet
