A B737 makes a hurried second approach to atl, GA, only to overshoot the localizer and get closer to an aircraft on a parallel runway. This results in a TCASII RA, and the aircraft has an excursion from assigned altitude.

Narrative:
Planning coupled autoland approach to ILS runway 26R atl for first officer IOE demonstration. Captain flying. Just prior to OM told to break off approach on 360 degree heading and climb to 4000 ft. During hurried vector for approach back to runway 26R ILS. Separation lost with brasilia on approach to runway 27L. Descended from assigned 2700 ft to 2000 ft for TCASII warning. Re-climbed and intercepted GS and localizer for VFR landing runway 26R atl. Missed approach was rushed by approach control trying to expedite traffic flow. Should have refused immediate downwind vector and intercept vector until better set up for another ILS approach to runway 26R.

Title: A B737 MAKES A HURRIED SECOND APCH TO ATL, GA, ONLY TO OVERSHOOT THE LOC AND GET CLOSER TO AN ACFT ON A PARALLEL RWY. THIS RESULTS IN A TCASII RA, AND THE ACFT HAS AN EXCURSION FROM ASSIGNED ALT.
Narrative: PLANNING COUPLED AUTOLAND APCH TO ILS RWY 26R ATL FOR FO IOE DEMO. CAPT FLYING. JUST PRIOR TO OM TOLD TO BREAK OFF APCH ON 360 DEG HDG AND CLB TO 4000 FT. DURING HURRIED VECTOR FOR APCH BACK TO RWY 26R ILS. SEPARATION LOST WITH BRASILIA ON APCH TO RWY 27L. DSNDED FROM ASSIGNED 2700 FT TO 2000 FT FOR TCASII WARNING. RE-CLBED AND INTERCEPTED GS AND LOC FOR VFR LNDG RWY 26R ATL. MISSED APCH WAS RUSHED BY APCH CTL TRYING TO EXPEDITE TFC FLOW. SHOULD HAVE REFUSED IMMEDIATE DOWNWIND VECTOR AND INTERCEPT VECTOR UNTIL BETTER SET UP FOR ANOTHER ILS APCH TO RWY 26R.
