Check this, I think they're worth every penny.

I member being in the jumpseat of a Focker50 into Birmingham airport and he landed it what seemed like sideways and nose first from where I was sitting.
But then again, the runway in Birmingham isn’t actually level, lots of ups and downs on it

The guy collecting me said..he thought we were all going to die..He said to me...you should find that Pilot and shake his hand.

Landing with engines on full power in case they have to TOGA.
Take Off Go Around.
Remarkable skills.

Rocket scientists are also taught what to do, it's not brain surgery.
