Beech B200 Super King Air, G-SYGA

Summary:

On approach to Glasgow Airport, the crew inadvertently activated the go-around mode as they approached a cleared altitude. The distraction of this, coupled with their lack of experience on this type of B200, caused a short breakdown in crew situational awareness and the aircraft descended below the cleared altitude.
