A319, slightly orange in tint from the FCOM 3.1.22 (MTOM 68000kg, MLM 61,000kg)

AUTOMATIC LANDING

CAT II and CAT III autoland are approved in CONF 3 and CONF FULL.

Automatic landing is demonstrated :

With CAT II and CAT III ILS beam.


With slope angle within (– 2.5°, – 3.15°) range.


For airport altitude at or below 9200 feet.


At or below the maximum landing weight.

At approach speed (VAPP) = VLS + wind correction.

Minimum wind correction 5 knots ; maximum wind correction 15 knots.


Automatic rollout performance has been approved on dry and wet runways, but performance on snow–covered or icy runways has not been demonstrated.


Note : Depending on the situation (e.g. emergency or other) and provided that the runway is approved for automatic landing, the flight crew can decide to perform an autoland up to 69 tons (152 117 lb).

The added emphasis is mine. Says you can't then says you can. Clear as ever.
