Narrative:

We went around at 900 AGL due to improper configuration on an autoland. We were doing an autoland approach and the system did not arm at GS intercept on the practice CAT III. Pm was watching outside for traffic on a parallel approach. As the flying pilot I got totally sucked into my display and did [not] configure in time for a stabilized approach and decided at 900 AGL to initiate [a] go-around. Go-around was uneventful.having not flown a lot in the last couple months I allowed myself to get distracted with the display and lost overall situational awareness in regards to proper aircraft configuration.
