What’s the chance that the fairing wasn’t secured (screws not tightened up) post maintenance inspection, certainly easy to overlook. If the aircraft was overstressed in flight, I’m sure the flight data recorder will tell the story.
How’s their R66 going?

Flight data recorder in a Kodiak ? That would cost more than the aircraft ?
I read that they have two more R-66 types planned for delivery.

Most of the Caravans have data recorders in them that pick up exceedances, even the old ones. So I’m sure the Kodiak would with the gear they got in them.

What happens in PNG stays in PNG!😀
You don't have google?
I doubt there is anyone in Australia who operated both types to provide a comparison.
As LB says, you’ll need a google search for that. And it’s good info.

I have operated both. Kodiak is superior in almost every way except payload and cabin size. For context though the Kodiak was designed well after the caravan and I believe the guy who designed the floats for the caravan had a hand in designing the Kodiak.
it’s an impressive aircraft if I had the choice for a private aircraft I would take a Kodiak any day. For commercial I probably would take the Caravan

I have not heard of this aircraft type before. How does it compare to a C208?

Banjo should direct his interest to the 209, a much better aircraft
With or without the Philpot modification?
