The interesting thing is that the Mythbusters actually did this (well, in 
a full-cockpit simulator).  They tried to land it on their own and didn't 
do very well, but they also pointed out that the autopilots in aircraft 
these days are pretty amazing, and the plane can for the most part fly 
itself.
