Narrative:
Not being that familiar with teb, I studied the departure for runway 19. I got distracted before I finished with the departure plate and never got to runway 24 departure. The passenger arrived early so I asked the first officer to read me the runway 24 departure. I wrote down key action points while taxiing. After departure, the SID requires runway heading to 1500 ft then right turn to 280 degrees, maintain 1500 ft until teb 4.5 DME, then climb to 3000 ft. In the 'heat of battle,' I glanced down at my notes completely missing the teb 4.5 DME, so when I reached 1500 ft I turned to 280 degrees but continued my climb out of 1500 ft. My first officer was distracted and when he noticed I was continuing the climb, he said I shouldn't be climbing but by then, departure had already noticed I had passed 2000 ft. He (departure) called me and I got a short tongue lashing. I immediately descended back to 1500 ft and complied with the SID. In retrospect, I should have taken more time to study the SID prior to takeoff. Had I not allowed the preflight distraction, none of this would have happened. Luckily, no one was hurt and no metal got bent, only my pride.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: CPR JET CAPT FAILS TO COMPLY WITH ALT RESTRS ON THE SID OUT OF TEB, NJ. N90 DEP CTLR CATCHES ERROR AND GAVE RPTR A '...SHORT TONGUE LASHING.' PIC HAD FAILED TO ALLOW HIMSELF ENOUGH TIME FOR THE REVIEW OF THE SID DEP PROC.
Narrative: NOT BEING THAT FAMILIAR WITH TEB, I STUDIED THE DEP FOR RWY 19. I GOT DISTRACTED BEFORE I FINISHED WITH THE DEP PLATE AND NEVER GOT TO RWY 24 DEP. THE PAX ARRIVED EARLY SO I ASKED THE FO TO READ ME THE RWY 24 DEP. I WROTE DOWN KEY ACTION POINTS WHILE TAXIING. AFTER DEP, THE SID REQUIRES RWY HEADING TO 1500 FT THEN R TURN TO 280 DEGS, MAINTAIN 1500 FT UNTIL TEB 4.5 DME, THEN CLB TO 3000 FT. IN THE 'HEAT OF BATTLE,' I GLANCED DOWN AT MY NOTES COMPLETELY MISSING THE TEB 4.5 DME, SO WHEN I REACHED 1500 FT I TURNED TO 280 DEGS BUT CONTINUED MY CLB OUT OF 1500 FT. MY FO WAS DISTRACTED AND WHEN HE NOTICED I WAS CONTINUING THE CLB, HE SAID I SHOULDN'T BE CLBING BUT BY THEN, DEP HAD ALREADY NOTICED I HAD PASSED 2000 FT. HE (DEP) CALLED ME AND I GOT A SHORT TONGUE LASHING. I IMMEDIATELY DSNDED BACK TO 1500 FT AND COMPLIED WITH THE SID. IN RETROSPECT, I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE TIME TO STUDY THE SID PRIOR TO TKOF. HAD I NOT ALLOWED THE PREFLT DISTR, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT AND NO METAL GOT BENT, ONLY MY PRIDE.
