Hi!
My airline has various restrictions on when the Captain should land or take off (short runways, contaminated, etc.), but, since we are not very standardized, most of the Captains don't pay any attention to what our manual says and let us (the FOs) do whatever they feel comfortable with. We can do everything with a training or evaluation captain.
We are prohibited from using autopilots on our approach below a certain height because ours are terrible. Basically, no one uses an autopilot on an approach, and if they do, it's off prior to the FAF.
