Daher Aircraft Design, LLC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Quest Aircraft Design, LLC) Airplanes
This AD applies to Quest Aircraft Design, LLC (type certificate data sheet currently held by Daher Aircraft Design, LLC) Model KODIAK 100 airplanes, serial numbers 100-0001 through 100-0273, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Daher Aircraft Design, LLC (type certificate previously held by Quest Aircraft Design, LLC (Quest)) Model KODIAK 100 airplanes. This AD requires revising the pilot's operating handbook and FAA approved airplane flight manual (POH/AFM) or supplement 5 to the POH/AFM. This AD was prompted by incorrect low weight landing distances in the performance section of the POH/AFM and supplement 5 to the POH/AFM. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
(1) Before further flight after April 1, 2020 (the effective date of this AD), revise the POH/AFM for your airplane by removing the “Obstacle Landing Distance” table (2 pages) and replacing it with Table 5-19, Obstacle Landing Distance, pages 5_68 and 5_69, Section 5, Performance, from Quest Aircraft Kodiak 100 Series Aircraft, Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual (Document No: AM901.0), Revision 22, dated April 10, 2019.
Note 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD: The Obstacle Landing Distance table may be located either in the Performance section (Section 5) of the POH/AFM or in supplement 5 to the POH/AFM, depending on the revision level of your POH/AFM.
(2) The actions required by paragraphs (g)(1) of this AD may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a)(1) through (4) and 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
