9.6-1 GENERAL

The KODIAK 100 may be equipped with an External Cargo Compartment
(ECC) that attaches to the bottom of the fuselage and provides an additional
cargo volume of 63 cubic feet (or 750 pound capacity). The ECC is
comprised of the nose fairing and the body of the pod, which are separated
by a stainless steel firewall. The ECC has three separate compartments
that are accessible through three doors on the left side of the aircraft. Once
installed, the ECC and its components will increase the empty weight of the
aircraft by approximately 175 pounds.
The External Cargo Compartment is attached to the bottom of the aircraft
using screws and nutplates, and is fabricated from a gel coat, fiberglass,
resin, and foam core composite, also containing ground plane mesh. Ventral
fins, strakes, and aerodynamic fences are installed to provide additional
directional stability. Fuel drains and vents are routed to a common drain
manifold on the right side. Jacking of the nose gear is accomplished with
a column jack point, which extends below the aircraft firewall, through the
ECC.
