Narrative:
Flight mco-clt. Conducting IOE for new captain, second leg on aircraft. Instructed by departure control to climb to 14000 ft. Captain was flying, I was concerned with WX radar at the time and getting vectors from ATC. Next occurrence was altitude alerter going off. Our altitude was 14300 ft. We leveled off at 14000 ft. No evasive action or ATC response. Contributing factors: new captain. Instruction. Attention diverted to WX activity. I did not know captain (student) had disengaged the autoplt! He was trying to hand-fly a situation in which autoplt would have enhanced safety.
