In case of extreme weather conditions, who would land a plane in the most comfortable way for the passengers, a pilot or the auto pilot?

One of my best landings ever was in some of the worst weather imaginable. It was at night, in heavy rain, lightning, and in moderate turbulence. I did not use the autopilot because it would not likely handle all the turbulence and wind shear.

After being bounced around all the way down, I ‘squeaked’ the landing “on the numbers” so soft, even I was not certain we had touched down until the spoilers deployed.

There was a loud applause from the rear, and later quite a number of “thank yous” as the passenger deplaned. It was a landing I will never forget.
