Is it right to say pilots only operate autoland approach when CAT2 or CAT3 ILS operating?
No they can make an autoland in VMC when making a visual approach, for practice... They may request 'sensitive area protection' when doing so, they may not, they can still autoland without the protection but pilots need to monitor the approach very closely in case of interference.
