Narrative:

Got a spurious egpws warning on visual approach for runway 22 into avp. We were on 2 mile right base intercepting between wexin and julut and just leveled off at 2800 feet (published glide slope intercept altitude for wexin/FAF). Clear of all terrain/towers; but still received warning. Disconnected autopilot and climbed up 100 feet and warning stopped.
