Narrative:

On a left base for the visual runway 03 into cho; we received one terrain egwps warning. We reacted in accordance with the fom. Detection occurred with the aural announcement of terrain once and the caution on the pfd (primary flight display).while on a right base for runway 03; at 3;000 feet; and 8.5 NM final; the PF (pilot flying) started to turn us toward the final approach fix for the ILS runway 03 in cho. While in the right turn we started a shallow descent to 2600 feet for glideslope intercept. At approximately 2800 feet; we received the one terrain call out from the egpws.when we received the egpws notification; I noticed the pilot flying automatically disengage the autopilot and begin a climb. Before I had any more time to react I noticed that the caution cleared and I announced that we were clear of the terrain. At that point we were back to approximately 3;000 feet which was the last assigned ATC altitude. Now at around 7.5 NM final; the PF (pilot flying) and myself quickly looked at the chart and determined that we were still at a safe altitude and the aircraft was still in a safe profile/configuration to continue the approach and landing.no suggestions at this time. The actual terrain that we passed over was briefed extensively due to its vicinity to tall towers adjacent to the approach and we purposefully set ourselves up at a long final to avoid said towers. As the pilot monitoring; I had terrain selected on my mfd (multi-function flight display) for situational awareness. We reacted to [it with] our best in accordance with the fom and due to the quickness of the event and the quick climb back to the safe altitude of the last assigned by ATC; we felt we were in a safe position to continue the flight.

Title: Air carrier First Officer reported receiving a terrain warning during a visual approach to CHO airport.

Narrative: On a left base for the visual Runway 03 into CHO; we received one terrain EGWPS warning. We reacted in accordance with the FOM. Detection occurred with the aural announcement of terrain once and the caution on the PFD (Primary Flight Display).While on a right base for Runway 03; at 3;000 feet; and 8.5 NM final; the PF (Pilot Flying) started to turn us toward the final approach fix for the ILS Runway 03 in CHO. While in the right turn we started a shallow descent to 2600 feet for glideslope intercept. At approximately 2800 feet; we received the one Terrain call out from the EGPWS.When we received the EGPWS notification; I noticed the Pilot Flying automatically disengage the autopilot and begin a climb. Before I had any more time to react I noticed that the caution cleared and I announced that we were clear of the terrain. At that point we were back to approximately 3;000 feet which was the last assigned ATC altitude.
