Synopsis
EMB-145 flight crew reported responded to EGPWS on a night RNAV backed visual approach. Crew reported ambiguity with company page and procedure.
Narrative
On Day 0 flying from ZZZ to ROA planning on the RVAV 24 approach at night we were in the downwind and approached asked us if we had the field; and we did; at that point ROA approached cleared us for the visual. I told my First Officer we need to fly go out past HIBAN because it was night and we need to fly the approach. HIBAN fixed is 3700 [ft.] as I turned base and started to descend as we the course was starting to come alive we got a terrain followed by PULL UP. We did pull up after gaining about 150/200 feel the warning stopped and we joined the final approach course and landed we no issues. After landing I starting to thinking if I should have asked for a full IFR clearance instead of accepting the visual at night in ROA. The warning on the arrival page on CO page in Jepp states 'fly and instrument approach to the runway and we did fly the fly in RVAV 24 to the runway. My confusion is should I have asked for a full IFR clearance with vectors. In the future I will ask for the full approach. After reviewing updated document I was wrong.I think reference to [the] updated document should be on the company page as they are both worded differently.Confusion on the company page.
Second reporter narrative
Captain flying responded to EGPWS alert.Company page was a little ambiguous. If the exact wording from updated document could be added to the company reference page it could help other pilots from making the same mistake.Captain was PF (Pilot Flying) into ROA at night. Roanoke gave us the visual 24 and asked if we needed to go out to HIBAN. Captain responded yes. While flying to intercept the RNAV Y 24 at 3;700 [ft.] got a EGPWS alert. Captain responded promptly climbing 150 ft. until the alert stopped. I told ROA Tower that we were responding to terrain alert. Captain was able to then intercept the RNAV Y 24 approach. Normal approach into ROA. After reviewing the updated document we are both now aware that we can not accept the visual into ROA at night.
