Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Human Factors; Procedure
Departed VFR on Runway 6 and entered right pattern at 3500 [ft.] for Runway 34. Received a terrain warning from the EGPWS on downwind and established a climb. The warning promptly extinguished after a 200 feet climb.
We departed Runway 06; and entered a right downwind for Runway 34. At 3;500 [ft.] we leveled off and maintained visual separation with the mountains. However; we got the terrain warning and complied with it. Within 2 seconds the message extinguished as we were climbing. We leveled off at 3;800 and continued our downwind to [Runway] 34.
Air carrier flight crew reported the EGPWS alert sounded during takeoff resulting in an additional climb to avoid terrain.
