Airspace Structure; Procedure
Upon arrival in NEW airspace. ATC cleared [us] for approach via SAFES IAF to RNAV runway 36L. Clearance was then modified and was told to stay at 3;000 ft. until further advised for departing traffic. Aircraft flew past initial approach descent point. FMS dropped vertical navigation guidance at that point. A manual descent was initiated just prior to that. I hurriedly reloaded the FMS to re-establish vertical guidance. While reloading; I received a low altitude alert from ATC with my call sign. I appeared to be in the vertical path of the approach just inside TOYBO at 2;400 ft. I had the runway insight and asked for and was cleared for visual approach.I am unsure if descent rate or altitude tripped the low altitude warning issued by ATC as I appeared to be in parameters while trying to re-establish the approach in the aircraft FMS.Flight continued to runway on glide path with nothing unusual other than the low altitude warning from ATC near TOYBO intersection.
Pilot reported a Low Altitude alert on approach to NEW airport.
