You've never heard of people completely untrained as pilots landing planes and being coached by the tower on what to do? Landing is the hardest part and there have been many cases of planes being landed in emergencies that way. As someone that has quite a few numbers of cockpit time in small planes, I can tell you its not impossible at all. Landings and takeoffs are the hard part.
