Yep, 80-85 kts with full flaps for normal landings according to the POH. I too find the Kodiak very hard to handle at lower landing speeds. It’s definitely been a learning curve for me and at first I wasn’t too happy with it, but it’s grown on me and I quite like it now. The Kodiak, I think, is heaps better than the default Caravan. So much more character and depth.
Normal landing:
- Wing Flaps…FULL DOWN
- Airspeed…80-85 KIAS
- Touchdown… MAIN WHEELS FIRST
- Power Lever…BETA RANGE After Touchdown
- Brakes… AS REQUIRED
