Used to have to do 1 Autoland every 6 months, of which I suspect many were "sharp pencilled"
No longer required. I last did an autoland over a year ago?
As Rick says:
Manual landing following the flight director
I am unaware of any type where you manually land "following the FD"
I am also interested in what suggestions or hard/fast rules operators may impose with regard to use of automation during final approach and landing
NB for a genuine autoland you require LVPs in force, which will only be in exceptionally low vis. If LVPs are not in force, then it is at the pilots' risk to carry out and monitor an autoland (SQ777 @ MUC).
