Narrative:
On approach to kavl; we received an egpws warning. It was day; VMC and positive visual verification found that no obstacle or terrain hazard existed so the warning was regarded as cautionary and the approach was continued; per the [flight manual]. After turning final and descending; flaps 45 was selected at approximately 1000 and the aircraft was stabilized at 500 feet. A normal landing was performed.rising terrain beneath the aircraft appeared to have triggered the warning based on closure rate. That caused a momentary delay in configuring the aircraft for landing.due to surrounding terrain; vectors to the final approach course well outside the FAF would have helped to avoid the terrain issue and allowed additional time to configure the aircraft for landing.
