Narrative:

During departure from jfk, des sfo, we were initially assigned 5000 ft. Prior to reaching 5000 ft we were assigned 11000 ft. The captain was introducing me to the pms with which I had never flown before. I missed the SOP call '10000 ft for 11000 ft' and the captain did not level off at 11000 ft. The altitude alerter sounded and I called for the leveloff. The captain returned to 11000 ft. Maximum altitude was 11700 ft. New york departure asked about our altitude, but by then we were nearly level at 11000 ft. Contributing factors: the altitude alerter in the B747-100/200 at xx is not standard with other xx aircraft in that there is no aural warning until the aircraft has passed 300 ft beyond the set altitude. Other aircraft have an aural warning at 800-900 ft before the set altitude. I did not have adequate training on the pms. Both the captain and I were too busy conducting the training and familiarization during a critical phase of flight.

Title: A B747-200 NEARING RBV CLBED THROUGH ASSIGNED ALT.

Narrative: DURING DEP FROM JFK, DES SFO, WE WERE INITIALLY ASSIGNED 5000 FT. PRIOR TO REACHING 5000 FT WE WERE ASSIGNED 11000 FT. THE CAPT WAS INTRODUCING ME TO THE PMS WITH WHICH I HAD NEVER FLOWN BEFORE. I MISSED THE SOP CALL '10000 FT FOR 11000 FT' AND THE CAPT DID NOT LEVEL OFF AT 11000 FT. THE ALT ALERTER SOUNDED AND I CALLED FOR THE LEVELOFF. THE CAPT RETURNED TO 11000 FT. MAX ALT WAS 11700 FT. NEW YORK DEP ASKED ABOUT OUR ALT, BUT BY THEN WE WERE NEARLY LEVEL AT 11000 FT. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: THE ALT ALERTER IN THE B747-100/200 AT XX IS NOT STANDARD WITH OTHER XX ACFT IN THAT THERE IS NO AURAL WARNING UNTIL THE ACFT HAS PASSED 300 FT BEYOND THE SET ALT. OTHER ACFT HAVE AN AURAL WARNING AT 800-900 FT BEFORE THE SET ALT. I DID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE TRAINING ON THE PMS. BOTH THE CAPT AND I WERE TOO BUSY CONDUCTING THE TRAINING AND FAMILIARIZATION DURING A CRITICAL PHASE OF FLT.
