i had a go at this in the sim for fun once. The aircraft was a 737/300. first attempt i managed to fly a series of turns then get the aircraft onto the centreline . i landed the aircraft although not entirley on the runway, the second attempt was dog doo (got a little unstable in roll.) so possibly luck....
Overall i found it not difficult but, a challenge to control the aircraft - the trick is (in my opinion) is small changes slowly and smoothly so as not to get in this business of chasing the aircraft because of over-controlling. It can be done successfully just requires practice.
Would never ever ever want to have to do it for real, think you would escape one in a million attempts only. Made me think of sioux city in particular and what legends those guys are.
