Narrative:

Flying to lnk and arriving from the north we were assigned a visual approach runway 36. We were vectored onto a close left downwind for runway 36 and cleared for the visual approach. As we were descending in VMC the radar altimeter briefly dipped below 1;000 feet and we received the egpws 'terrain' warning. We could clearly see the ground and airport; so I merely reduced my descent rate. I do not believe that we were less than 1;000 feet height above terrain.close-in downwind and the perception that I needed to 'get down' quickly to remain on glide path. Flying a visual left downwind from the right seat is also a contributing factor because it is difficult to accurately perceive spacing from final and when to turn or descend. This was my dumb mistake. I should have just extended the downwind to give us more time and space.
