Loss of both RA automatically degrades the "guidance" capability. To CAT I manual landing. This will be announced on FMA and if under specific height also by "Autoland" warning light.

In fact, there is no need for AP to disengage and I would guess it doesn't. The guidance mode changes but AP is still well capable of following any FD modes that remain available after the downgrade.

FD (the un-real)
