A320 Autoland

Hi Muppet in the sky,

From FCOM for A319:
ENGINE OUT
CAT II and CAT III fail passive autoland are only approved in configuration 3 and FULL, and if engine-out procedures are completed before reaching 1000 feet in approach.
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).

But from FCOM A320:
ENGINE OUT
CAT II and CAT III fail passive autoland are only approved in configuration FULL, and if engine-out procedures are completed before reaching 1000 feet in approach.

So it depends if your flying 319 or 320.

I think it's because the A320 approval was given about 20 years ago and hasn't been changed since. The A319 approval was given more recently and Airbus included the F3 engine out & overweight demonstration. Despite approval for the 319 - it's not approved on 320s because it wasn't demonstrated at certification.
