Narrative:
On our approach we got a momentary GPWS warning when leveling off at ATC cleared altitude of 3;000 [feet]. The captain disconnected the autopilot and was getting ready to perform the escape maneuver when the warning stopped. We were able to see the terrain and the airport and [we were] above the published approach altitude so we determined it was safe to continue approach.
