Narrative:
After completing VOR 16 approach for runway 16, we missed approach due to losing sight of runway during descent from MDA. I initiated go around and informed tower of our missed approach. Pwk tower cleared us up to 2000 ft with left turn to 020 degrees. I failed to arrest climb and level off at 2000 ft. We arrested climb at 2400 ft and corrected my error. Tower, understanding my error, cleared us to 3000 ft. A contributing factor I believe is that clrncs to 3000 ft are routinely given at pwk for departure. I frequent pwk often and for some unknown reason 3000 ft after takeoff/go around is what was 'stuck on my mind.' perhaps the same altitude for takeoff or missed approach could/should be given. Especially since the IAF altitude is 2300 ft if a subsequent approach is in the plan. In the future I will spend more deliberate time briefing for the approach and possible contingencies.

Title: CPR JET CLBS TOWARDS 3000 FT AFTER A MISSED APCH AT PWK WHEN THE CLRNC WAS TO 2000 FT. RPTR CITES PERSONAL HABIT AND MINDSET AS AN EXCUSE.
Narrative: AFTER COMPLETING VOR 16 APCH FOR RWY 16, WE MISSED APCH DUE TO LOSING SIGHT OF RWY DURING DSCNT FROM MDA. I INITIATED GAR AND INFORMED TWR OF OUR MISSED APCH. PWK TWR CLRED US UP TO 2000 FT WITH L TURN TO 020 DEGS. I FAILED TO ARREST CLB AND LEVEL OFF AT 2000 FT. WE ARRESTED CLB AT 2400 FT AND CORRECTED MY ERROR. TWR, UNDERSTANDING MY ERROR, CLRED US TO 3000 FT. A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR I BELIEVE IS THAT CLRNCS TO 3000 FT ARE ROUTINELY GIVEN AT PWK FOR DEP. I FREQUENT PWK OFTEN AND FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON 3000 FT AFTER TKOF/GAR IS WHAT WAS 'STUCK ON MY MIND.' PERHAPS THE SAME ALT FOR TKOF OR MISSED APCH COULD/SHOULD BE GIVEN. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE IAF ALT IS 2300 FT IF A SUBSEQUENT APCH IS IN THE PLAN. IN THE FUTURE I WILL SPEND MORE DELIBERATE TIME BRIEFING FOR THE APCH AND POSSIBLE CONTINGENCIES.
