Well in aviation there are a varied form of operations than just putting on the autopilot at 400 feet and pinching the stew bottom, which some people avocate.

In all the different types of landings I had experienced (except for carrier deck) the strips types is the most challanging as there is sometimes no room for error, you simply had to put it on the dime, with 600 feet landing run and no option for a go-around.

Its no sweat to do an autoland at minimum visibility, but landing at Cameron or the old Tioman strip always put me in perspirations.
