Clutch,
There's nothing I've ever seen that restricts Cat-3b to autoland only(company opspecs might but not FAR or ICAO type rules). It allows use of a DH (less than 50') which implies see to land operations (like in some of the CDG approaches). How you get to that DH in order to see something (w/ approval from on high) seems to be irrelevant (although, if I was riding on that aircraft, it would be HIGHLY relevant to me!!).
