Guys, IAW "my concierge can fly it " policy, Airbus industry allows autoland wherever and whenever operator deems it safe. I've came across two examples:

Airline X allows autoland only on CAT2 (or better) certified ILSes with LVP in force. Practice autolands can be performed in VMC only and again strictly on CAT II ILSes.

Airline Y allows autoland on any ole ILS, as long as rollout is not used on CAT1. AP has to be disengaged after the mainwheels touch down but before nosewheel is down.

I'm all X. It's very tempting to just sit back and let 320 guide you, but if you succumb, you'll turn into flying imbecile very rapidly.
