Ya, people have this thing about airplanes being these big complicated behemoths that are impossible for a normal person to just use. Part of that's because you see all the buttons and gauges and stuff so people talk themselves out of it and go "I can't possibly do that". Sure, everything has a purpose and the plane is complicated but in terms of controlling your location and speed it's not that impenetrable. I'm fairly positive if for whatever crazy reason I had to fly a plane down to landing, I could. It wouldn't be a pretty landing but I wouldn't burst into flames at least. Well ok, there might be some flames.
