Second Generation Quest Kodiak 100 With the success of the turboprop Quest Kodiak 100, the company has gone ahead and made enhancements good enough to be renamed as the second generation of the original model. The original was introduced to the market in 2008 and now in 2018, the second generation is available. Upgrades flow in both the cockpit and the cabin. The 10-seat aircraft has to come good as it is squarely in competition with the likes of other turboprop manufacturers like Piper with the M500 and M600, Daher Socata with the TBM 910/930 variants, the Pilatus PC-12NG and even the Caravan range from Textron Aviation's Cessna.
The Series II or second generation of the Quest Kodiak 100 has incorporated single-point refueling which should make fueling much easier and less time consuming. The new G1000NXi from Garmin is in the flight deck for further ease in use and operation. The soundproofing is improved due to better fuselage sealing. Slightly more storage space is available up front as well along with cockpit ventilation improvements. Of course there are other options that can be added to the aircraft. 18 new paint schemes are now available. The below photo is by Matt Thurber.
