Narrative:

We were cleared the RNAV visual to runway 26 at abq. All points were briefed and altitudes confirmed during the approach briefing. The approach commenced normally until turning final. After turning final we were very low on the PAPI. At this point autopilot was turned off and I shallowed out the descent and made a normal landing. We were in visual conditions the entire time and from a visual standpoint everything looked normal. At some point during the approach the actual navigation performance (anp) bars turned amber. There were no real issues seeing that this approach was conducted in day VFR conditions. It might have been more of an issue at night. As far as I know there were no notams concerning this approach.
