I have never flown, but I would imagine that if you have clear weather and visibility, the hardest part about landing a plane is knowing the best landing speed to use with flaps on. Too slow and you stall, too fast and you use up your runway trying to stop.
Lining up the plane to the runway is hard the first time you ever land a plane.
Also he was lucky crosswinds were light.
Great job by a novice.
I’ve never flown either. The thing that would probably kill me in a situation like this are the instruments, rudders, flaps, etc.
Having to successfully accomplish 3 or 4 things all at once would freak me out.
And even if I did everything perfectly, I would probably run into a tree on the ground.
