Default ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

wrong. There might be "need" to do autolanding for 3 month (?)
currency.

It's not a problem because the pilots can see. The need for currency
doesn't alter the weather.


correct but there is a need to do an autoland. It is not
*required* since the weather is good enough but the
need is still there.

I hear this often at night for jets going into SFO.

SFO has a full-time tower.


correct but I was referring to jets asking to do a
CAT III approach for currency even though it is VFR.
