Way it was done on 320 while I was active:
Compulsory AP for all LVP approaches, CAT2 with either manual or autoland, CAT3 down to NO DH 3b strictly autoland, which is allowed only for actual or practice LVP approaches, however most of the 320 operators are not so conservative and allow autolands even on CAT 1 beams, if practice shows they are safe. Beats me how they evaluate that.

Can or can't depends on who issued your CofA and who are you working for.

That autoland is compulsory for some LVP approaches has lead many a person to wrongly assume that it is connected with LVP only. If your (type, model, version, installation specific) George was limited to CAT3 autolands only, it doesn't follow all the others were so. Currently I can perform CAT3a even without CAT3 capable autopilot, let alone autoland.
