About the Daher Kodiak 900

Type certificated 2022 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The Daher Kodiak 900 is a stretched, faster evolution of the Kodiak 100, certified by the FAA in 2022. A 3.9-foot fuselage extension and the 900-shp Pratt & Whitney PT6A-140A (up from the 100’s 750-shp PT6A-34) lift maximum cruise to 210 KTAS while preserving the rugged, fixed-gear STOL character of the original. The result is a ten-seat single-turboprop utility aircraft with the Kodiak 100’s STOL and payload capability at a higher cruise speed.

For the GA buyer, the 900 occupies a specific niche: a backcountry-capable hauler refined enough for the owner-pilot and corporate-shuttle roles. A ‘Summit+’ executive interior, track-mounted removable seating, and a Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck sit on an airframe that still operates from short, unimproved strips. It is unpressurized, so its 25,000-foot ceiling carries an oxygen requirement that keeps most missions in the low to mid teens. Choose the Kodiak 900 when you want the Kodiak’s go-anywhere field capability with about 35 knots more cruise and an executive cabin, and you do not need the pressurized, higher-altitude reach of a TBM or PC-12.

Key Features for GA Buyers

  • 900-shp PT6A-140A. The stretch is matched by 150 shaft horsepower over the Kodiak 100, held flat to roughly 37 degrees C, which sustains climb and field performance at the larger airframe’s higher weights.
  • 210-knot cruise. Aerodynamic cleanup (the ‘fast-back’ aft fuselage and gear fairings) lifts cruise about 35 knots over the Kodiak 100.
  • Convertible cabin. Track-mounted, tool-free removable seating converts the interior from ten seats to a cargo hold, served by a large aft cargo door.
  • G1000 NXi avionics. The standard suite carries the GFC 700 autopilot, synthetic vision, and PlaneSync connectivity.

Trade-offs

  • Unpressurized. Despite the executive interior and 25,000-foot ceiling, the cabin is unpressurized, so practical cruising altitudes stay low enough to limit sustained supplemental-oxygen use, and the airplane works weather rather than topping it.
  • Fixed-gear drag. The fixed landing gear, even faired, caps cruise efficiency below retractable turboprops like the TBM or PC-12.
  • Slower than the cabin-class singles. At 210 KTAS the 900 trails the PC-12 and the TBM on any long leg; its argument is field access and payload, not block speed.
  • New-only market. As a recent design, the 900 trades new or near-new (roughly $3.5M and up), with little used inventory and no established resale price history.
