Narrative:
We were on approach to crw and assigned 3000 feet by ATC. Conditions were clear and we called the airport in sight. ATC cleared us for the visual while on a left base. We were vectored between the if (intermediate fix) and FAF (final approach fix) and the captain set the altitude for the FAF at 2400 feet and initiated an easy descent. As we were about to level; there was a terrain warning that sounded one time and cleared. The ca (captain) immediately disconnected the ap (autopilot) and stopped descent. We confirmed there were no terrain issue and completed the approach and landing without further issues.ca disconnected ap and assumed manual control to arrest the descent and assure clearance of any obstacles.it would be helpful to have a topographic reference for these special qualification airports.
