Reporter 1
During a visual approach backed by the ILS to Runway 23 at TRI, we descended to 3600 for the FAF. At 3700 the EGPWS (Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System) commanded a climb. The AP (Autopilot) was disconnected immediately and we followed the command. ATC was notified and once we were clear we advised ATC and descended back. After this the approach and landing was uneventful.
