Narrative:
I was so on a flight between fll and lga on mar/thu/95. During the nancy arrival, we were cleared to 11000 ft about 10 mi northeast of yardley. The captain was flying, and inadvertently continued the descent through 11000 ft to approximately 10500 ft before realizing the error. He immediately climbed back up to 11000 ft and we continued the arrival and landing without further incident. The first officer and so were both reviewing charts at the exact time of the event.
