It appears that some of the (FR) SOPs are out of step with the majority of UK operators! The incapacitation issue is one of them.
Big Airways have had a Cat 3 incapacitation policy for many years, namely:
In the event of a lack of response by the Captain to the "decide" call, due to incapacitation, it is considered safer for the co-pilot to continue to autoland the a/c in Cat 3 conditions than to execute a go-around.
Perhaps, you should ask your Managers to review their policy on this matter.
