Modern aircraft can just about land themselves, so yes, one could.

Just get it safely stopped and evacuate.

Oh, I could land it. Now, how intact it would be I cannot guarantee.

If you push all the correct buttons, the airplane will land itself and come to a complete stop on the runway. I think you could probably talk most people through the process if the airplance had enough gas.

I, however, could most definitely land it.
