Since "Snakes on a plane" it should be common knowledge that one doesn't even need a PPL to successfully land a 747
.
Seriously, being a PPL holder and MSFS aficionado as well (and having thought and read about this scenario, obviously), I'd say: "Autoland in the most favorable of circumstances with a bit of luck: maybe. Trying a manual landing in the most favorable of circumstances with a bit of luck: outcome probably similar to UA 232.
To quote a previous poster: instead of sitting there and waiting for this thing to hit the ground (anywhere) very, very hard, a PPL/MSFS person trying a manual landing might succeed at hitting the ground at an airport very, very hard, which at least has the advantage of emergency crews ready and waiting.
