The outside will get some extra polish between now and the discharge, primarily adjusting the shading. We will even attempt to add some cool new issues to it, however extra on that if we make it.
Plane techniques are full except for 3-4 minor objects. Of these, the ITT simulation has been one of the vital tough options to implement.
The plane shall be ITT restricted after, 12000ft, which means you’ll have to progressively energy again to keep away from exceeding 760 °C.
Residual ITT has been refined because the Kodiak and can drop sooner within the air. Dry-motoring the engine with the inertial separator closed will make ITT drop sooner, as all of the air will now be directed into the engine, pushing the new air out of the exhausts. Lastly, the double ITT spike on startup lastly appears to work.
Avionics are additionally of their ultimate phases. All the performance is now inbuilt, and subsequent week shall be spent refining the final recognized bugs and correcting the EFIS coloration.
The PC-12’s Avionics have saved us busy for greater than 12 months as we had been making an attempt to be taught the brand new abilities, whereas primarily creating a complete avionics suite from scratch.

Whereas ready for the assessment, we’ll proceed testing and bettering the plane as a lot as we will to make it an excellent launch.
