The fellows who land commercial airliners in poor weather do it for a living and it's never a "piece of cake" to put a 125,000 lb. machine moving at 180 mph on a strip of pavement that's 150' wide.......no matter how easy they might make it look.

Flying a helicopter is much more difficult than a commercial airliner.
