In addition to that, you also need to know how to:
Read the instruments. This is non-trivial with modern glass cockpits as the readings on the screen don't necessarily have labels.
Set the flaps at the right time. Too soon and you'll tear the wings off or run out of fuel before you make it to the runway. Too late and you will be flying too fast to land.
Lower the gear, again at the right time to prevent them being torn off by airflow or not being down when you hit the runway.
Know that, once on the ground, the nose gear is steered with the footpedals and not the sidestick (Airbus) or yolk (Boeing).
Set the autobrake so you don't need to brake manually at touchdown. If you get this right, you don't need to mess with reverse thrust.
It would be helpful to know how to turn off the cabin pressurization system so no one is blown out the doors when they are opened.
Even if you're lucky enough to get all this right, you're only going to make a smoking hole somewhere near the runway if there's any significant crosswind.
