Why are you so adamant that you'll be able to successfully hand-fly a jet to a landing in an emergency situation if your only hours are in a PA28?
I'm not. I only mentioned that in the 1st post. I do maintain I have a fighting chance though. And I've mentioned above it might not be pretty. Basically what pulse1 said:

typical PPL flight simmer would screw up once in less than 10 landings.
I interpret this - so at least 1 in every 10 times there is a possibility. And if I found myself under the conditions that I described in the 1st post, that is more than enough to try it as opposed to just running out of fuel and crashing.

However if I was indeed in that situation I'm sure the 1st thing I would do is get help from the ground and follow instructions of another pilot as opposed to flying it the way I want to!
