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.
On right base for the visual to Runway 22 at AVP at night. Flying to intercept ILS at WEXIN at 2800 feet MSL. GPWS warning for terrain went off with 'Pull Up.' We were clear of obstacles and terrain. The Captain disconnected autopilot and climbed 100 feet and the warning went away.
