February 3, 20224 yr Author TY everyone for the help on this. After adopting some of the principles here, I got in to the airstrip safely but the landing was on the bumpy side. I need to go back and learn engine management skills as I have been too depentent on my AutoPilot and Mobiflight control panel for controlling my Altitude and Vertical Speeds. At least I feel I am not cheating now and I am starting to straighten up and fly right. I dedicate this song to all of you: Edited February 3, 20224 yr by MSFLYER5856 5 MHz 8087 IBM Clone, 640k RAM, 10 MB HD, Hercules 64k Graphics card, 14 in Monochrome Monitor, CH Products Mach-1 Joy Stick.

If your really keen on learning the Kodiak and do not mind spending a bit of real money, Ryan has an online course (I believe the proceeds go towards helping remote villages in PNG - though not sure about that). https://kodiak-training.teachable.com/p/kodiak-simulator-training

Rules about where you should be in the sky and proper pattern procedures often go out the window in bush flying, because it's common that if you follow a typical traffic pattern you end up lithobraking into the side of a hill. There are some runways where you need to drop it in at the last moment so you don't have to fly, Star Wars speeder chase-style, through the trees. There are others where there is no "final approach" as you usually think of it because the terrain in front of the runway is too steep, so you have to do a turn just before landing. There are cases where you don't bother planning a missed approach because you're committed once you're on final, due to terrain on the other end of the runway. There are still other times when there isn't a runway at all, and you set down in a meadow, or on a sandbar next to a river. That, of course, is why autopilot flying during the landing phase in bush country is discouraged. The autopilot doesn't know about any of those situations, and so it's much more likely to "mess up" than the pilot who can actually see the surrounding terrain and take steps to avoid it.

February 10, 20224 yr In real life flying, GA aircraft I always fly the last 1000' vertical by hand or more unless workload is too intense and I have no co pilot. The reason is it takes a while to get the feel of the plane. And of the wind and turbulence in the area. This is especially true for an ILS approach. And flying around a standard pattern or special approaches hand flying really is a must.
