Large aircraft are completely different, in a former life I flew B-747’s, doing auto land requires that the arrival be loaded properly, autopilot engaged and lots of other things to be properly done for it to work. Very challenging if you have never done it before.
I can and have (with someone certified instructors present) flown helicopters and small airplanes. Actually landed a small airplane once (again instructor present).
That was not too tough.
Wasn’t stupid enough to try to land the heli.
I have NO illusions I could land a heavy. None. Would only try if there was NO other option. Hey a small chance is better than no chance.
If I got into the cockpit of a heavy (commercial airliner) at request of the crew, first thing I would do is get on the intercom and ask, “Any military aviators on this plane?” And then immediately turn over controls in the cockpit to whomever said yes and could answer a few basic questions so I knew they were not faking it.
BTW flight sims are mosty very simplified to make game play fun. Little relation to actual flight let alone landing. But Freepers know that. (There are a few exceptions re simulators but they are very expensive - used for actual training and recreation for much wealthier people than me.)
