NP330, you can do autoland in any weather (limitations observed of course), but you cannot do a LVP in any weather. LVP autoland is autoland with very low minimas. Practise autoland require high minimas, if you have not all installations in place (no redundancy on airport installations, sensitive zone not protected). You cannot just come and say "let's make an autoland" just because the visibility is 2000m. Autolands are reasonable if LVP in force (<550m visibility) and in good weather (say a few 1000m). The "marginal" weather case is exactly the weather you should NEVER make an autoland!!! SIA's Op philiosophy goes exactly the other way around.
