EMB 505 Flight Crew reported a GPWS Warning on descent for landing.
Synopsis
EMB 505 Flight Crew reported a GPWS Warning on descent for landing.
Narrative
On our way to ZZZ; planning the guided visual into Runway XX we were left high by center due to crossing traffic below (17;000 feet MSL) and despite calling the airport prior. We were cleared the visual XX and needed to reach ZZZZZ at 8;500 feet for the first fix on the visual. Pilot Flying (PF) entered in a descent at 3;000 FPM which would have gotten us down a little late so rolled the vertical speed to 3;700 FPM. At approx 12;000 feet we got a GPWS terrain caution and PF adjusted vertical speed but then we got the warning and audible pull up. PF disconnected autopilot and arrested descent which then removed the warning. At no point did the terrain feel a factor as we were VFR and well above the terrain in VFR conditions. We continued the guided visual with no issue. As Pilot Monitoring (PM) I had already setup the guided visual altitudes and was checking the fixes and altitudes over as this was my first time into ZZZ. In hindsight I could have focused on suggesting getting an earlier descent or a vector away in order to get down.
Second reporter narrative
ATC kept us high for longer than usual and we had to increase our descent rate to get on profile. I increased the rate out of 17;000 feet and passing 12;000 feet I got an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) alarm. We were VMC and all terrain was visible. I disconnected autopilot; initiated a climb and the alarm disappeared. We continued the VFR approach and pattern.
