Autopilot minimum for RNAV visual approaches is which altitude?

• A. 700' AGL
• B. 600' AGL
• C. 500' AGL
• D. 400' AGL

Answer: (C)

When flying RNAV visual approaches, you can keep the autopilot engaged down to a minimum altitude of 500 feet above the ground. This means the system will help you follow the approach path and maintain situational accuracy until you’re close enough to the runway to fly visually. If you don’t have the runway environment in sight by then, you’re expected to execute a go-around and take manual control to complete the landing. The 500' AGL limit is the standard autopilot minimum for these approaches, which is why 500' AGL is the correct choice.
