Could you land a commercial airplane in an emergency?

Debate topic with my sisters
They have a theory (I think from a tiktok trend) that ALL men confidently state that if need be in an emergency… life or death…
That they could take control of a cockpit of a commercial airplane and land it safely.
Could you?
I read a book about survival situations once and the first step was to change the radio frequency to some FAA emergency channel.
That’s all I’ve got
Maybe 777tiger can weigh in here or other pilots.

If I'm on a commercial airliner, I'm probably 8 beers deep at that point.
So yes, definitely.

Oh, we'd land alright. One way or the other that plane would end up on the ground.

Yeah, if I had ground control help.

Lesser people have done it, so yes I think I could, provided the plane was intact and I could have someone talk me through it.
Posted on 8/3/23 at 11:34 am to Delacroix22
Yes
Safely?
Safely?

I’d just start a thread on TD and the baws will land it for me.

Nope. Pray for all 191 souls on board because we're goners.
Posted on 8/3/23 at 11:34 am to Delacroix22
I’d give it a shot and I give myself a 35-40% chance with someone on the radio talking me in.
Posted on 8/3/23 at 11:35 am to Delacroix22
You didn't mention how it would arrive on the land, but yes, I could "land" it
Posted on 8/3/23 at 11:35 am to Delacroix22
Could I get it on the ground and not kill everyone on board? I’d give myself 70-30
Could I ever so delicately put it right down the middle of the runway? Not a fricking chance. I’ve been playing flight simulator since it came out in the mid 90s all the way up to the present and I have done that maybe…MAYBE…3 or 4 times.
