No it cannot. It would end in disaster.


Why?



For the same reason I'm really good at killing zombies on my computer, it
isn't real life you nitwit.

Unfortunately, that's not an answer. The reality is that there is no basis
for your assertion.

It has long been taken as gospel that a non-pilot could never land an
airliner, and as long as one sticks to the outdated assumption that he'd have
to actually take the controls, that's probably true. But today's airliners
are so heavily automated that they can be flown and landed without ever
touching the flight controls, so the dogma of yesteryear is no longer
applicable.

Dude, I wouldn't guarantee that I could land an airliner, even if I did it
wouldn't be pretty. But don't let reality get in the way of your delusion of
saving the day. If you want to pretend that pushing a few buttons that you
are told to push and the thing autolanding as "really" landing an airliner
then that is hardly landing an airliner. Now if you want to talk hand flying
the plane onto the runway with just MSFS experience as your background then
I think you live in fantasy land.

The airliner ends up on the ground, stopped, undamaged, with all passengers
safe. That's as real as it gets.

Hand-flying isn't necessary, as I have explained.

You hope it includes stopped. Not all autoland systems have auto-braking much
less automatic deployment of spoilers and thrust reversers.


The person flying the aircraft can be instructed on applying the brakes.

Dream on. You've never hand flown anything so how could you possibly know?


By reading and learning, something that many people never attempt.

As usual you miss the point entirely. You claimed that nothing was required
but flipping a few switches and such. Go out and stop an aircraft and then
come back and tell us all how easy it was.


Done. Just apply the brakes.
