Narrative:

During visual approach landing south at rno; given an early clearance for a visual approach; configured aircraft early in order to lose altitude; extended out on downwind as long as ATC would allow. [I] turned from downwind straight to final as ATC as attempting to place us ahead of another aircraft for landing. During turn to final had a GPWS 'sink rate' warning while still early on approach. Corrected sink rate and continued approach to landing. I felt we were within the stabilized approach criteria upon reaching 500 AGL for visual. Landing was normal at rno. Received call from foqa gatekeeper [who advised] upon reviewing flight data as having been flagged for excessive angle of bank (39); sink rate and a terrain notification. Discussed incident with foqa gatekeeper and was advised to file as soon as possible on incident. As previously mentioned I did hear a sink rate call but not a terrain call by egpws. I did acknowledge that it was a tight turn to final but since [I was] visual didn't realize the bank angle increased to 39 degrees during the turn. Do not let ATC prompt an early turn to final to satisfy their flow requirements. Take the extra few minutes and miles to reduce the time compression.
