Human Factors
We were cleared for the visual approach 33 and the FO (First Officer) was hand flying. Initiated a descent to 2;700 ft. and a base leg turn. We got an obstacle caution aural on the base leg of the visual approach Runway 33 into SYR at 2;700 ft. Upon getting the obstacle alert; ATC told us MSA was 3;700 ft. and I initiated a climbing right turn to gain obstacle clearance; while keeping the obstacle in sight the entire time. I misread the approach plate for the RNAV33 SYR and thought that we were still clear of obstacles at 2;700 ft. coming from the west outside of the FAF. Be more thorough on briefing an approach; even if the conditions are for a visual approach to an airport you have been to before.
Landing Runway 33 in Syracuse. FO (First Officer) was hand flying in visual conditions. We got cleared for the visual 33 and started a descent down to 2;700 ft. and turned toward the final approach course. As we made our base turn we received an obstacle GPWS caution. We did a climbing right turn and had the obstacle in sight. Should have stayed at the MSA until closer to the final approach course; also referencing the approach plate better.
Air Carrier flight crew reported GPWS warning on approach and flight crew complied with advisory.
