Aircraft; Procedure; Weather
Were cleared for Visual Rwy 01 at ZZZ. At about 600 feet AGL; experienced a 15 knot airspeed loss accompanied by Windshear Warning. Executed windshear escape maneuver. Notified ATC of windshear and going around.Tower told us to climb to 2000 feet and intercept ZZZ 328 radial. Exiting windshear at about 1200 AGL with max thrust; a light airplane; and a cold night; we had a correspondingly significant climb rate and were unable to level at 2000 feet. We peaked at 2400 feet before descending to our assigned altitude.I called Tower and said that we were returning to our assigned altitude. We completed the required checklists and returned for another visual approach to Rwy 01. Tower advised that subsequent aircraft had not experienced significant windshear. We completed an uneventful approach and landing. Maintenance was notified of the windshear escape maneuver and told that we were not aware of any engine exceedances or gear/flap overspeeds.
A CRJ-200 air crew executed a low level go around due to windshear. The aircraft flew through the level off altitude of 2000 feet due to light load. They returned to 2000 feet and executed an uneventful approach and landing.
