"It is not only possible to land a plane on autpilot especially modern fly by wire aircraft, it is actually much safer than landing by pilot "

I landed at JFK in a TWA 1011 sometime in the early 80's in a blinding snow storm....flights and airports were closed all over the east coast....upon touchdown, our captain told us it was a completely automated landing. JFK was one of only a few airports equiped to do so at the time.
