Landing a plane at night. Real life, not simulation.

Now one might assume that all these are automated. Well most of the planes and airports don't have those advanced electronics to guide the plane for automated landing. So most of the time its old school visual landing watching the lights.

Your altimeter, speed and distance are most important. And pilots don't target the edge of the runway to touch down, rather they target one third way inside the runway.

And I have no idea how they manage those crosswind landing.
