Lololol. Yes he is
How to land a Cutter:
1. God shields in solo.
2. Wait for flight control to clear all traffic within 1ls.
3. Try.
Or if you're me and flying bricks is what you do:
1. Drift that big girl in like a boss and slam the landing gear through the pad.
2. Possibly pay for a few funerals.
3. Read hate mail.
This is how you land a Cutter. :3
Trust me. I had a looooooong learning period, too. Now having to learn small nimble ships again.

? i always play in Open, was against any other mode from the start. As for shields, they were just about down as id just come from a warzone.
Docking computer for the win.
Landing a cutter is easy ..approach station, ask for docking clearance, throttle to zero, feet up on dash board
The same. He mistook SDC for Thargs.
Ha, the docking computer on my Cutter fails to dock 25% of the time.
I've had my Cutter for over a week now, and have had little to no trouble at all manually landing, be it at a starport, surface port, or just on the surface of a planet/moon. Sure, she's a big ship, but not necessarily difficult. I quite like the flight model. It feels big, as it should, unlike the Corvette which is largely unaware of the laws of physics.
VR helps a lot; more situational awareness and depth-perception. A good HOTAS helps, too.

Never had any problem landing my cutter anywhere except a 9G planet when I forgot where I was for a moment.
Mind you, I'd flown a T9 for nearly a year by the time I could afford a Cutter so I was used to slow manoeuvring ships.
So, how to land a cutter? Slow and easy. Take your time. Make no sudden changes.
