An in-depth look at calculating take-off performance values, performing normal take-offs, and what poor take-offs can look like. Also includes the first part of the climb out.
A few points not covered:
- Aux fuel pump is ON for take-off and STANDBY on climb (but not actually essential in terms of how the aircraft performs in the sim)
- On a normal flight start the timer when you are ready to begin your roll (unless you started it at engine start)
For great take-offs from a real-world Kodiak, pilot see @MissionaryBushPilot

Also, here is a nice video of the Daher Chief Demo Pilot Mark Brown showing the gentle rotation at 55knots (at 6423lbs). Note this is a Kodiak 100, series III
