I believe all of the big airliners have the ability to land themselves and I think at least on one flight a day for the major carriers, it takes place to make sure it's working. I used to have quite a bit of contact with pilots of major airlines and I got this information from them.

I just watched the video and she did land it with the automatic system with the captain telling her what to do. It would be tough, but I think for sure most competent people could do it if they stayed calm. That would be the hardest part, but if one could establish communication with a pilot, then I think many people could press the right buttons to initiate the landing.

Physically capable I would say, but in practice, the adrenaline, fear, etc would make it impossible. I think in that scenario the best you could hope for is a controlled crash.

The plane is capable of landing itself if the right buttons are pushed. A passenger would not have to control the stick, speed, and the part of putting the plane down. The computer would do that automatically.
