Narrative:
VFR uncontrolled airport. Visual approach with unlimited visibility. We chose to RNAV 03 for awareness. From approximately 15 miles I stated that there is a terrain issue with this approach. We elected to continue with the autopilot flying to allow us to better scan for VFR aircraft. As we approached the hill under the path I stated that I would be surprised if we didn't get a GPWS. We were almost past the hill when the ground proximity momentarily annunciated and extinguished faster than you could respond. (No pull up)...I contacted foqua to review this airport.

Title: Captain reported problems with approach because of terrain; causing Ground Proximity warnings resulting in an unstabilized approach.
Narrative: VFR UNCONTROLLED AIRPORT. Visual approach with unlimited visibility. We chose to RNAV 03 for awareness. From approximately 15 miles I stated that there is a terrain issue with this approach. We elected to continue with the autopilot flying to allow us to better scan for VFR aircraft. As we approached the hill under the path I stated that I would be surprised if we didn't get a GPWS. We were almost past the hill when the GND PROX momentarily annunciated and extinguished faster than you could respond. (No PULL UP)...I contacted FOQUA to review this airport.
