Narrative:
Landing runway 34 at avl. The glide slope was out of service. Day VMC with good visibility. I entered a visual approach in the FMS. I set 3700 ft (1500 afl) at the 5 mile fix. That corresponds with the FAF on the ILS which is 3.7 miles with a 3700ft crossing altitude. The GPWS called 'terrain' as we approached the fix and then 'pull up'. I climbed a few hundred feet. Terrain was always in sight and we were clear. Next time; I'll intercept the final farther out and higher.
