At what altitude is the AFCS non-precision visual approach minimum elevation set?

The altitude for the AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System) non-precision visual approach minimum elevation is indeed set at 400 feet AGL (Above Ground Level). This altitude is significant because it represents the point at which the aircraft should be stabilized and ready for a visual approach to landing. It is crucial for pilots to understand this limitation to maintain safe operational practices during an approach.

Setting the minimum at 400 feet AGL provides a necessary buffer for pilots to recognize and respond to their surroundings, while ensuring that they are within a safe altitude range as they transition from instrument to visual flight. This altitude is designed to give pilots a sufficient height to make visual assessments of the runway environment, enhancing safety during the critical phases of approach and landing.

Understanding this limit helps ensure that pilots comply with the necessary approach procedures, contributing to overall flight safety and operational efficiency.
