Do you really believe that a pilot without any previous jet experience could fly a B767 or a B757 during a low flight, presumably at 250kt or faster, make that precise small turn just prior to hit exactly the target?
A FS pilot only could fly an airplane if the A/P were engaged, hands on experience is quite nil. If non experienced pilots would have tried that maneuver, without any doubt, they'd flown to the wrong direction, at least once, and in those cases, there were only one attempt (except UAL757).
I don't think that B767/757 simulator training is required to fly those airplanes since you have some knowledge of FMS, MCP controls, and of course some jet airplane reaction experience, during manual flight. Landing practice wasn't absolutely required...
