Well, you've just killed every single 'mental reenactment' of me saving the day on a commercial airliner. I watched an air crash investigation episode vis-a-via the greek hypoxia tragedy. I've always wondered whether I (a humble PPL holder) could, with the help of ATC, manage to bring the thing down safely. I guess you've answered that, ha!
If you left the autopilot in you would probably be fine being talked to an autoland. You would at least have the advantage of being able to understand what they were talking about when they refer to speed/altitude/heading/flaps and numerous other items a non pilot would have no idea about.

I am Maverick once again then!
There is no way you would be asked by ATC to disconnect the autopilot and hand fly
Ok, I hadn't even thought of this. What if, for whatever reason, it wasn't working? Would I not have even the remotest of chance with just a PPL?
