Narrative:

I was PIC of a cpr flight which departed sbn for toronto on apr/mon/97. On approach my copilot, also a captain qualified pilot, advised me that he had recently (last week) flown into toronto and that he was familiar with the profile descent into runway 24. I acknowledged him and asked him to brief me on the procedure which he did, only he briefed me on the profile descent to runway 6. This error resulted in our descending approximately 1000 ft below the proper altitude at ricki intersection. The controller pointed out our error and we immediately climbed to the proper altitude. The error was fully and completely mine. I was responsible to verify that he was briefing me for the properly chartered arrival procedure. I will make sure that in the future I always confirm the arrival.
