I disagree with that. You might now be a pilot who has lost his experience in how to land an airplane and so will do a much worse job of it compounded by the emergency situation. Every landing is also training.

Yes, that true, but this autoland system is not intended for routine use. It's for emergencies only.

Ah, 'you' being 'the passenger and/or the incapacitated pilot' rather than the regular and healthy variety of pilot. Ok, now I understand your comment. Thank you for clarifying.
