Human Factors
While on the ILS 11 Approach into SBP I deviated from both the localizer and glide slope. At one point I was low enough on the glide slope that I was advised by the Control Tower that I set off a low altitude alert. I corrected and landed uneventfully. I was distracted by a passenger which was a contributing factor.
PA-24 pilot reported receiving a low altitude alert from ATC on approach to SBP; citing cockpit distractions as contributing.
