I know naught about this event's detail. However, for what little it may be worth, years ago I was working on an aircraft support project. Two LAMEs were my operator-support-go-on-lots-of-world-trips guys. Both were active FS junkies (as well as being top troops). As far as I knew, neither had ever touched a pole.

I took them along one night on a 734 sim session and, while the studs were having a break, gave them each a run (motion off). Each managed a takeoff, circuit and landing to a respectable standard, considering. Not decorative and pretty but certainly workable. Raw data, manual throttle.

For what it may be worth.
Hi JT along the same lines, years ago flying an ETPS Viscount out of Boscombe down to Hurn, with a RAF flight engineer in the RHS ( he was there because I knew nothing about the aircraft systems etc). Anyway, he flew a couple of really good ILS's IMC breaking out at about 400ft - good landings, no prompting required. I suspect he may have done similar before😁
