Narrative:

On approach to pbi, bad storms at the airport storm on east end. Had to land east with tailwind. On final, ILS runway 9L, 2 mi out, tailwind went beyond legal limits. Called go around thrust, flaps 15 degrees, gear up. Tower said 'turn left 270 degrees, climb and maintain 2500 ft.' in the twin, aircraft pitched up to 32 degrees and the rapid climb rate caused the aircraft to fly past 2500 ft to 3400 ft before the climb was arrested. We told tower. They said 'descend to 3000 ft.' it is not understood yet why the aircraft pitched up so rapidly on the go around.

Title: B73Q FLC INCURRED A LIMITING TAILWIND ON FINAL AND EXECUTED A GAR.

Narrative: ON APCH TO PBI, BAD STORMS AT THE ARPT STORM ON E END. HAD TO LAND E WITH TAILWIND. ON FINAL, ILS RWY 9L, 2 MI OUT, TAILWIND WENT BEYOND LEGAL LIMITS. CALLED GAR THRUST, FLAPS 15 DEGS, GEAR UP. TWR SAID 'TURN L 270 DEGS, CLB AND MAINTAIN 2500 FT.' IN THE TWIN, ACFT PITCHED UP TO 32 DEGS AND THE RAPID CLB RATE CAUSED THE ACFT TO FLY PAST 2500 FT TO 3400 FT BEFORE THE CLB WAS ARRESTED. WE TOLD TWR. THEY SAID 'DSND TO 3000 FT.' IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD YET WHY THE ACFT PITCHED UP SO RAPIDLY ON THE GAR.
