Narrative:

We were en route to mco on the goofy 4 arrival. ZJX assigned a crossing altitude of 11000 ft at bairn. I was flying the aircraft, and became distraction by other cockpit duties. The CDU was set to the descent page, but I misinterped the information provided. I was 6 mi from bairn and had not initiated the descent when I realized the error. I asked for and received permission for a right 360 degree turn to accomplish the descent. The cause for the deviation was inattn on my behalf.
