Absolutely. In fact, flying an aircraft with fixed wings doesn't make
significant difference in these terms - the fixed-wing aircraft is just
a bit more forgiving if you make mistakes while in air (your passengers
might be _not_  ;-)
This is why you will always get into trouble doing a 'smooth' landing
with just a simple, spring-loaded joystick - even with the C172,
