Narrative:
Going in to asheville airport (avl) we were cleared for the visual approach runway 35 on a perpendicular course to the south at 8;000 feet. We had to rush down to make the speed and configuration changes needed to get on the approach. We were using the ILS frequency as backup. We were intercepting the localizer from the south and were slightly below glideslope at umuxe when we got a ground proximity warning from the aircraft. I (being pilot flying) immediately stopped the descent and leveled off as we had visual references to the ground. The warning went away and we continued the approach without incident.
