The go around button on the A-109 series can be more of a distraction than a help. Depending on the series or dash number of the auto pilot installed in the machine the aircraft may have had a restriction on its use below 120 KIAS. If this was the case, activation of the go around mode could have created a situation where the autopilot created a pretty extreme unusual attitude situation for the pilot.
