Perhaps we should remember that most of the "great unwashed" think that everything on an airliner is "automatic" and that we just sit there and press a few buttons everyday. Maybe these pictures will cause those people to think that it's not as easy as they think! Landing in marginal conditions can be demanding for even an experienced pilot on type but it is all about knowing the a/c limitations (and your own) and being prepared to make a decision to abandon an approach and/or landing which is not going as planned.

In short, if in doubt then don't!
