i had the same interviewer.. she was trying to put you under pressure. from your post it seems like you didn't handle it very well.even if your answer was completely correct she will still question it. pretty standard interviewing technique. regarding the fuel situation, her attitude to the situation was because she wanted to see how you would respond to a captain making a bad decision.. she wasn't "just being harsh". the engine question you had was also one you should have known straight away. in every post on pprune with past interview questions it says "know how to identify all aircraft types, engines, mtow, range, ceiling etc". The fact that you couldn't answer such a basic and expected question probably showed her straight away that you didn't know your stuff or were under prepared . sorry mate but she ran a standard interview and you failed. i had her for stage 2, and while she was quite tough and intimidating, it was a good experience because i was actually prepared
