you are right as you usually are. let me add something as a precaution for all pilots.
when you are conducting a coupled approach or an autoland approach and the wx is 800/2 or less...ADVISE ATC both appch and tower that you are conducting an AUTOLAND or COUPLED approach. Say: verify critical areas protected.
and if you crash and atc screwed up...at least you will look good at the hearings.
I've spoken with tower controllers who have told me that they often do not protect the critical areas of gs/loc...so be careful
I have NEVER been impressed with CLT controllers of any kind and Ihave flown there ALOT.
