Are people on here seriously suggesting that they will leave the autopilot in and allow the aircraft to autoland? Without a clearance for such and therefore without the sensitive areas protected, or a statement as such from tower and an acknowledgement from you?
We're permitted (indeed required) in my airline to fly practice autolands, when weather is CAT I or better. There's no requirement to tell ATC, or for the sensitive areas to be protected in such a case. The operating minima remains CAT I.
