Narrative:
On final approach to apf RNAV (GPS) 5: I accidentally stepped down to 295 ft; which was the lpv da. The MDA or da for LNAV/VNAV was 446 ft. I could not see the ground; and at the same time apf reported a low altitude alert. I reported 300 ft. Simultaneously I realized I had busted minimums and declared a go-around. This was executed normally. I don't recall visibility.
