- In this video we take a look at the recently released Kodiak 100 by SimWorks Studios. We'll do a short flight in amazing Iceland from Reykjavik (BIRK) to Isafjordur (BIIS) where we will do the cloud break procedure. The Kodiak is a very nice addition to the sim and is perfectly suited to flying in this part of the world.

I watch Kip on the Ground, too. He's an excellent teacher. Congrats on winning the Kodiak. I saw where he was giving a few out. I purchased it and there is a learning curve with this plane.
Awesome! Have fun flying the Kodiak..
This is an excellent video. Bandit is the best instructor on You Tube in my view. He obviously has a lot of real fight training or has done a lot of instruction in all of the areas of flying and navigation. I have a Kodiak and this video has really been a big help to me. Thank you Bandit.
I appreciate that! Glad it was helpful. Although I do have a bit of experience, it's still fun to try different aircraft in MSFS, planes I wouldn't normally be able to fly IRL. Happy to pass along any info I can to help the flight sim community learn more about flying, Cheers!
You have the most peaceful, scenic routes in your videos. Keep it up! Becoming my go to for GA flying
Thanks very much, Glad you like them!
A great video. Really enjoyed that - well done
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it.
Quick question, what is your favorite GA plane to fly especially for shorter scenic flights? I been just the Citation a lot but looking for something more for shorter lower level flights as I also favor the G1000. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks. My favourite GA airplane is the Diamond DA62. Check out my series flying the DA62 around the world, it’s a great GA airplane. Cheers!
the difference between hi/lo motor is that hi motor doesn't require the ignition switch to be on. It will do it automatically.

"STARTING SYSTEM
The starting system consists of a starter/generator, a starter switch and a STARTER ON
annunciation through the G1000. The starter/generator functions as a motor for engine
starting and motors the gas generator section until the engine stabilizes at idle speed
and the starter switch is returned to the OFF position. The starter is controlled by a
three position starter switch located on the lower left portion of the instrument panel.
The switch provides selection of OFF, HI START and LO/MOTOR. The switch is spring
loaded to the OFF position and is the normal switch position except when starting or
motoring of the engine.
HI START
Starting the engine in the HI START mode will result in faster, cooler and softer starting
conditions. When the HI START mode is selected on the starter switch, the following
starting sequence is initiated through the Master Control Unit.
1. Ignition system automatically energized.
2. One battery provides 24 volts to starter for initial motoring of the compressor
section.
3. Once the engine reaches a predetermined speed, the Master Control Unit places
the other battery in series to supply 48 volts to the starter/generator, thus
increasing the rotational speed of the starter/generator.
4. Once the engine stabilizes at idle RPM, the starter switch is returned to the OFF
position and the starter/generator is now able to function as a generator.
LO/MOTOR
The LO/MOTOR function of the starter switch is provided for an alternate method
of starting the engine when battery condition is poor, clearing fuel from the engine,
dry-motoring of the engine for compressor washes and other maintenance-related
procedures. The ignition system is not automatically energized when LO/MOTOR is
selected, and the batteries remain in parallel with each other to maintain 24 volts to the
starter/generator while the switch is placed in this position. An advisory annunciation
is provided through the G1000, indicating power is being supplied to the starter.
Annunciation is displayed as follows:
STARTER ON"
Awesome! Thanks for the info.
I knew to use low monitor when you have a ground power unit connected
