Narrative:
Prior to departure we received our pre departure clearance clearance which included the LOGAN9 SID; climb via SID. The pilot flying who was also the sic for the leg set up the cockpit for departure. After we were both seated we briefed the LOGAN9 departure for runway 04L which is what we anticipated our departure runway to be. I read from the legs page of the FMS to verify the routing with the PF who was checking it against the chart displayed on the mfd. There were no altitudes displayed on the legs page of the FMS so I asked what the hold down altitude was and looked up at the jeppesen SID 10-3E displayed on the mfd which was zoomed in to the initial climb and top altitude table displaying 5000 ft. I verified that 5000 ft was set in the asel and we continued with our checklist. After calling for taxi we were given a runway assignment of 09 and I updated the FMS departure page to comply and we re-verified the routing which was 'climb heading 093; top altitude 5000 ft' again with the SID chart zoomed in to the routing table. We then changed to the 10-9 page to taxi to runway 09.after takeoff while we were climbing through 4500 ft we were switched to boston departure and I checked in with them climbing to 5000 ft. Departure instructed us to continue climbing to 10000 ft and asked if we had been assigned 5000 ft which I responded 'yes' thinking that our assignment was climb via SID and that the top altitude was 5000 ft. Once we leveled at cruise we began discussing that query about our altitude assignment and decided to look at the SID jepp chart again. When we reselected it and zoomed out we discovered that we missed the non-jet aircraft initial climb and top altitude table and saw that our top altitude should have been 3000 ft and not 5000 ft.while we were never rushed or hurried; we should have done a better job at verifying our brief and reviewing the SID; both of us fly jet and non-jet aircraft for our employer and it can be easy to overlook the different procedures for the different type of aircraft. Also I believe that caution should be taken while using the electronic charts on the mfd with the zoom function as that can cause one to focus on what is directly displayed in front of them at the time overlooking key information. As a reminder to myself I plan on scrolling to the corners of the chart with the zoom function out to help ensure that critical information doesn't get overlooked.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: BE-300 flight crew reported climbing above the SID restriction on the LOGAN 9 SID because they were zoomed in too tight on the electronic chart to catch the restriction.
Narrative: Prior to departure we received our PDC clearance which included the LOGAN9 SID; climb via SID. The pilot flying who was also the SIC for the leg set up the cockpit for departure. After we were both seated we briefed the LOGAN9 departure for runway 04L which is what we anticipated our departure runway to be. I read from the legs page of the FMS to verify the routing with the PF who was checking it against the chart displayed on the MFD. There were no altitudes displayed on the LEGS page of the FMS so I asked what the hold down altitude was and looked up at the Jeppesen SID 10-3E displayed on the MFD which was zoomed in to the initial climb and top altitude table displaying 5000 ft. I verified that 5000 ft was set in the ASEL and we continued with our checklist.
