Narrative:
We were cleared for a visual approach to runway 24 at mht. While on the right base leg; approach control notified us of a low altitude alert. Our position at the time was level flight and approximately 1;900 ft MSL and two miles northeast of the RNAV GPS FAF (FAF altitude was 1800A). Aircraft was configured with gear and flaps 15. We were backing up the visual with the GPS approach. There were no GPWS alerts/warnings. We acknowledged approach's call; cleared terrain and obstacles; finished configuring; and continued to landing.
