Han calls upon luck to get him through a lot of situations. All things considered ... it works out far more often than is statistically probable. In this case, things were just as likely to go well as they were to go wrong - maybe more so with Natasha doing the planning.
The only thing challenging at all about that landing is the fact that Captain Solo had never helmed the craft before. The weather was clear. The landing was on super smooth pavement. The craft was designed so well the damn thing might be able to fly itself. You didn't need someone as skilled as Han at the controls to get them on the ground easy.
It's hard for Han to figure out how to cycle the power down than it was to land.
When everything has settled, he stands and stretches for a moment, pleased with himself for a job well done. Then he heads over to Nat's still sleeping form and he tries to bring her to a state of awake by gently dragging his fingertips over her arm.
