How easy is it to land a plane with no flying experience?

It's the nightmare scenario, the pilot passes out and you are called on to land the plane, despite having absolutely no flying experience.The pilot of the Cessna 208 had been flying to Florida from the Bahamas when he told his two passengers he wasn't feeling well

I've been a plane geek since I was a boy, so I was in absolutely no position to pass up the opportunity to not just fly - but land - an aircraft.Watch: Air traffic controller Robert Morgan helped passenger Darren Harrison land the plane. The ground seemed to come at me from nowhere. I almost forgot there was an instructor next to me, and nerves ramped up. The radio went quiet and the instructions stopped - I just had to touch the ground.

Back down we went, and I felt the wheels hit the tarmac. I've had worse landings at Glasgow Airport after a holiday, so I'll take that as a win.

I'd give it a go I think it would be really easy I could do it any1 want tae let me try it in Ur plane tae prove it let me know hahaha haha

I did it all the time on flight simulator

Or that difficult if you are interested in aviation

Just like a flight sim ain’t it?!
