Isn't that something to be practiced in the sim?
how many pilots have access to a full motion sim?

I would class zero/zero landing in the same realm as doing V1 cuts in the plane.
I am not quite sure how there can be a comparison between these two situations?
Sure its not the same as the real deal but it gives you some level of expectation without the inherent risk.
There is no risk involved in what I am describing because the monitoring pilot can see where you are going during the final approach and touch down, if you are not going to land on the runway all that needs to be done is for the non flying pilot to say I have control and either miss the approach or realign it with the runway and land it.

Remember all that is preventing you from seeing the runway is the map that was stuck in the windshield in front of you....and that is easy to remove.
