Requesting CAT II approach in CAT I Wx

[nitpicker330]

No no no.

If the weather requires LVP then ATC "should" activate LVP proceedures and you go ahead and shoot whatever approach your company allows.

You cannot do a real CAT2 or 3 or 3B approach below CAT 1 minimas unless ATC advise "LVP IN FORCE"

However:-

1/ Some ATC may be a bit slow implementing LVP and you may need to give them a nudge.

2/ In weather above LVP you may within your companies allowable proceedures carry out an Autoland for the intension of practicing LVO procedures ( or not, you may just want to complete an autoland for any other reason )with the caveat that you must be careful as the protected areas are not protected.
