Narrative:

Shooting ILS 16R at slc with trw in vicinity, light to moderate chop and moderate rain. Latest ATIS received called field VFR with no unusual winds. On final, tower gave us winds gusting right at aircraft crosswind limits, wind shear at 700' AGL on final, but would not tell us how heavy rain was on the field. Broke out and acquired visibility contact with runway with the aircraft slightly right of the runway and slightly high. At about 100' AGL, with the aircraft lined up with runway and strong gusting xwinds, the approach was not stabilized and the captain initiated a missed approach. Originally cleared to 7000', and then to 8000'. We overshot by 300' and were correcting back to 8000' when approach control asked us our altitude. We replied '83000' correcting back to 8000'.' they responded that they had another aircraft at 9000', but voiced no excessive concern. The aircraft was immediately turned around, and an uneventful ILS approach and landing were made on runway 34L. A lot of unusual WX was encountered with little warning on the approach and the missed approach, with tower communications slower than normal (talking to other aircraft). Closer monitoring of the missed approach by both crew members might have prevented that altitude deviation, although the chop/turbulence was also a contributing factor. Supplemental information from acn 139010: on final tower gave us winds gusting close to aircraft crosswind limits and stated they were not allowed to give us rain intensity.

Title: FLT CREW OF ACR LGT ENCOUNTERS SEVERE GUSTS AND TURBULENCE LNDG AT SLC. THEY EXECUTE A MISSED APCH DURING WHICH THEY CLIMBED THROUGH THEIR ASSIGNED ALT OF 8000' BY 300'.

Narrative: SHOOTING ILS 16R AT SLC WITH TRW IN VICINITY, LIGHT TO MODERATE CHOP AND MODERATE RAIN. LATEST ATIS RECEIVED CALLED FIELD VFR WITH NO UNUSUAL WINDS. ON FINAL, TWR GAVE US WINDS GUSTING RIGHT AT ACFT XWIND LIMITS, WIND SHEAR AT 700' AGL ON FINAL, BUT WOULD NOT TELL US HOW HEAVY RAIN WAS ON THE FIELD. BROKE OUT AND ACQUIRED VIS CONTACT WITH RWY WITH THE ACFT SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF THE RWY AND SLIGHTLY HIGH. AT ABOUT 100' AGL, WITH THE ACFT LINED UP WITH RWY AND STRONG GUSTING XWINDS, THE APCH WAS NOT STABILIZED AND THE CAPT INITIATED A MISSED APCH. ORIGINALLY CLRED TO 7000', AND THEN TO 8000'. WE OVERSHOT BY 300' AND WERE CORRECTING BACK TO 8000' WHEN APCH CTL ASKED US OUR ALT. WE REPLIED '83000' CORRECTING BACK TO 8000'.' THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY HAD ANOTHER ACFT AT 9000', BUT VOICED NO EXCESSIVE CONCERN. THE ACFT WAS IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND, AND AN UNEVENTFUL ILS APCH AND LNDG WERE MADE ON RWY 34L. A LOT OF UNUSUAL WX WAS ENCOUNTERED WITH LITTLE WARNING ON THE APCH AND THE MISSED APCH, WITH TWR COMS SLOWER THAN NORMAL (TALKING TO OTHER ACFT). CLOSER MONITORING OF THE MISSED APCH BY BOTH CREW MEMBERS MIGHT HAVE PREVENTED THAT ALT DEVIATION, ALTHOUGH THE CHOP/TURB WAS ALSO A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 139010: ON FINAL TWR GAVE US WINDS GUSTING CLOSE TO ACFT XWIND LIMITS AND STATED THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE US RAIN INTENSITY.
