Human Factors
On DATE I was pilot monitoring on Aircraft X ZZZ1-ZZZ. Upon arrival into ZZZ; we were being vectored for the right downwind for Runway XX. It was clear skies and good visibility. Shortly after passing the airport off our right; Tower asked us if we had the runway in sight and we did. We were then cleared for the visual XX. On our base turn we received a terrain alert. The FO (First Officer) disconnected the autopilot and started the climb. Not a second later the warning went away. We were still in a good position to land so we continued and landed normally.
Air carrier flight crew reported a CFIT event during a visual approach. Pilot initialed a climb which silenced terrain alert immediately.
