The A320 FCOM limits autopilot use to MDA minus 50’ on a non-precision approach. If I recall correctly, a NPA procedure that is flown fully managed (approach path computed and flown by the FMGC) will lead to the autopilot disconnecting automatically at MDA minus 50’, but this does not occur when the approach is flown with a pilot-selected flight path angle.
