Narrative:
Executed missed approach from ILS runway 22 lga. Controller initiated due to separation on aircraft ahead. We were at 1700 ft MSL and initially told to climb to 2000 ft, heading 360 degrees. Almost immediately ATC changed altitude to 2500 ft. Altitude initially misunderstood to be 3000 ft. We leveled at 2500 ft then continued climb to 3000 ft with immediate correction back to 2500 ft. Contributing factors: unexpected missed altitude assigned very close to present altitude.

Title: FLC OF AN MLG OVERSHOT INITIAL CLB ALT DURING ATC REQUESTED GAR.
Narrative: EXECUTED MISSED APCH FROM ILS RWY 22 LGA. CTLR INITIATED DUE TO SEPARATION ON ACFT AHEAD. WE WERE AT 1700 FT MSL AND INITIALLY TOLD TO CLB TO 2000 FT, HDG 360 DEGS. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ATC CHANGED ALT TO 2500 FT. ALT INITIALLY MISUNDERSTOOD TO BE 3000 FT. WE LEVELED AT 2500 FT THEN CONTINUED CLB TO 3000 FT WITH IMMEDIATE CORRECTION BACK TO 2500 FT. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: UNEXPECTED MISSED ALT ASSIGNED VERY CLOSE TO PRESENT ALT.
