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.
Safety Actions: As a result of this incident, the operator has introduced procedures to ensure that pilots who have not flown a mechanically instrumented aircraft within 90 days receive an expanded differences briefing from a training captain before flying the aircraft. The CAA has amended Section 4, Part H of CAP 804 to include guidance on differences training for pilots converting from EFIS to mechanical instruments.
Conclusions: The incident followed a loss of situational awareness by the crew, caused by a combination of distraction and an unfamiliar cockpit layout.
