8-1 GENERAL
This section of the Pilot’s Operating Handbook contains information regarding
the factory-recommended procedures for proper ground handing and routine
care and servicing of your KODIAK. It also outlines certain inspection and
maintenance requirements which must be followed if your airplane is to retain
its performance and reliability. It is wise to adhere to a planned lubrication
and routine maintenance schedule, based on climatic and operating
conditions encountered day to day.
IDENTIFICATION PLATE
All correspondence and record-keeping regarding your airplane should
include the serial number. The Serial Number, Model Number, Type
Certicate Number (TC), Production Certicate Number (PC), and Date of
Manufacture can all be found on the Identication Plate, located on the left
side of the tailcone, below the horizontal stabilizer.
WARNING: The airplane must be regularly inspected and maintained
in accordance with information contained in the “KODIAK 100 Airplane
Maintenance Manual” and Quest Aircraft Company issued Service
Notications. All recommendations for product improvements called out
by Service Bulletins should be accomplished and the airplane should
receive the required inspections. Quest Aircraft Company does not condone
modications to the aircraft, whether by Supplemental Type Certicate or
otherwise, unless these certicates are held and/or approved by Quest
Aircraft Company. Other modications may void airplane warranties since
Quest Aircraft has no way of knowing the full effect on the airplane.
Operating a modied airplane may impose a risk to the occupants. The
operating procedures and performance data outlined in the operating
handbook may no longer be considered as accurate information for the
modied airplane.
