Can a private pilot land a big boy?

When doing the ATOP program, I did 2 landings in a B737 full motion sim with simulated CAVU one time and 500’ OVC the other (ILS).

This.

I did the ATOP program several years ago when the training was done at United's training facility at the old Stapleton airport in Denver. It was three days of drinking water from a firehose, but a terrific learning experience. Each student made three landings at SFO in the 737 sim, the third at IFR minimums. I also got my high altitude endorsement.

Highly recommended; well worth the $495 registration fee.

The other thread on pilot jumping out of the cockpit got me thinking... this is my fantasy world and it's my rules...nut some valid questions.

Say I am going from KFAR to kmsp ... it's a regional jet. The pilot dies, the FO isn't there, for whatever reason, he fell sick, had a fight with the captain and decided to jump out of the window bla bla bla.... can a private pilot actually safely take her back to the ground?

What about my next flight from kmsp to wherever in a 747.... with all the help in the world, can you as a private pilot land it?

On a diff note, if I do land it... can I log that time as PIC in complex??

short answer, sure you could "land it' but if you mean on a runway without breaking anything, no, not without expert help.
