Narrative:

On approach into roa we had the airport in sight. We were cleared for the visual to runway 24. We backed up the visual with the RNAV approach. In visual conditions right past the FAF we got a GPWS alert. With all terrain in sight we leveled off and the alert stopped. We seemed to be on altitude and lateral path at the time of the alert. We continued the approach to a normal landing. We believed the cause to be the initial pitch down when we started descending at the FAF.
