Narrative:

Approach kept us high until 5 mi from IAF (10000 ft). Had us descend from 10000 ft to 1600 ft. Unstabilized approach. Full scale right of course. Full scale above GS. ILS 35 mco. Finally executed missed approach. Tower gave us right turn 090 degrees, climb to 3000 ft. I noticed altitude at 3200 ft. Told captain assigned altitude of 3000 ft. After setting climb power noticed altitude climbing through 3800 ft. Again told captain 3000 ft. Leveled at 3000 ft. Executed normal ILS to landing. Specifics: approach asked us early in approach if we wanted vectors to get down. Captain refused. Entered clouds approximately 2 mi from IAF at 4500 ft descending rapidly. Went through localizer. Captain disengaged autoplt to try to reengage localizer. During attempt angle of bank exceeded 30 degrees. At IAF localizer still pegged full right, GS pegged full down. I suggested go around as we had no idea where runway was. He continued rapid descent. Finally got on localizer. Altitude approximately 1500 ft. GS still pegged down. Again advised go around. Captain refused. GS suddenly went to full up. Told captain 'full scale deflection below GS.' captain initiated go around but did not call for go around checklist. During go around captain pushed power levers to 138 percent torque, limitation is 120 percent for 5 seconds. Then altdevs occurred. At no time was a checklist called for until setting up for second ILS attempt. If captain had not initiated go around when he did, I would have taken control of aircraft.

Title: ALT OVERSHOT DURING A SERIOUSLY MISSED APCH.

Narrative: APCH KEPT US HIGH UNTIL 5 MI FROM IAF (10000 FT). HAD US DSND FROM 10000 FT TO 1600 FT. UNSTABILIZED APCH. FULL SCALE R OF COURSE. FULL SCALE ABOVE GS. ILS 35 MCO. FINALLY EXECUTED MISSED APCH. TWR GAVE US R TURN 090 DEGS, CLB TO 3000 FT. I NOTICED ALT AT 3200 FT. TOLD CAPT ASSIGNED ALT OF 3000 FT. AFTER SETTING CLB PWR NOTICED ALT CLBING THROUGH 3800 FT. AGAIN TOLD CAPT 3000 FT. LEVELED AT 3000 FT. EXECUTED NORMAL ILS TO LNDG. SPECIFICS: APCH ASKED US EARLY IN APCH IF WE WANTED VECTORS TO GET DOWN. CAPT REFUSED. ENTERED CLOUDS APPROX 2 MI FROM IAF AT 4500 FT DSNDING RAPIDLY. WENT THROUGH LOC. CAPT DISENGAGED AUTOPLT TO TRY TO REENGAGE LOC. DURING ATTEMPT ANGLE OF BANK EXCEEDED 30 DEGS. AT IAF LOC STILL PEGGED FULL R, GS PEGGED FULL DOWN. I SUGGESTED GAR AS WE HAD NO IDEA WHERE RWY WAS. HE CONTINUED RAPID DSCNT. FINALLY GOT ON LOC. ALT APPROX 1500 FT. GS STILL PEGGED DOWN. AGAIN ADVISED GAR. CAPT REFUSED. GS SUDDENLY WENT TO FULL UP. TOLD CAPT 'FULL SCALE DEFLECTION BELOW GS.' CAPT INITIATED GAR BUT DID NOT CALL FOR GAR CHKLIST. DURING GAR CAPT PUSHED PWR LEVERS TO 138 PERCENT TORQUE, LIMITATION IS 120 PERCENT FOR 5 SECONDS. THEN ALTDEVS OCCURRED. AT NO TIME WAS A CHKLIST CALLED FOR UNTIL SETTING UP FOR SECOND ILS ATTEMPT. IF CAPT HAD NOT INITIATED GAR WHEN HE DID, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN CTL OF ACFT.
