Is water ingestion causing a flame-out from precip an active consideration as you fly into the storm? Have you experienced any engine outs while in a hurricane/tropical storm? Would ditching even be possible inside the storm or is crew bailout a safer alternative given the surf conditions. Are you folks separate from the NOAA Corps? When you cross the eye wall how much of a change in altitude does your pressure altimeter show assuming your radar altimeter reading stays constant. Are you hiring recently minted PPLs?

Thanks! I'm sure there's enough rudder on the 130 to compensate for a couple engines out, but I'd imagine climbing would be akin to an over-gross 150 on a high, hot, and humid day at around 200 FPM Max.
