Why do you think landing a Hornet on a 10,000 ft runway is difficult? What do you think would make you unable to land it? You know what the throttle does, you know what the stick does, you know what the AOA indicator is showing you, you know what the velocity vector is on the HUD and what that is telling you - and you know what to change to make the airplane do what you want. It is not complicated to land the damn thing. You fly it onto the runway, there isn't even a flare! Hold that flight path marker around where you want to touch down, use the pitch to regulate AOA and throttle to move your touchdown point.
A Super Cub is a lot harder to land well than a Hornet - it just is. The Hornet sim I flew illustrated that point to me quite clearly - I was surprised as to how stable it was and how easy it was to fly, to get it configured for landing and to land it - there really isn't anything to it - there was absolutely no dancing around with the controls as I got close to the ground (like there is in a light airplane/Super Cub), once you're stabilized on the glide path just fly it right down to the runway, touched down at about 600 FPM.
Maybe I have a hard time understanding how someone couldn't land one, because what seems simple to me may not be for someone else.
