As I understand it, the key point here was that the guy who landed it was in fact a (PPL?) pilot, albeit only sigle engine rated, and the owner of the a/c concerned - so had some basic knowledge of the a/c.

If (big IF) you have some aviation background and basic a/c handling skills (not FS) you might just be lucky enough to bring a single engined light a/c in. But if a PPL or FS "expert" thinks they could land a widebody airliner, FORGET IT!
