Narrative:
Normally, ICAO-a departure for noise -- per 10-7. B757 ICAO-a procedure: climb at V2 +10 ft to 1500 ft, then flight level change, set V2 +15 ft to 3000 ft. On runway, due to WX, given right turn, heading 350 degrees, climb to 1500 ft. (Runway 27R departure.) following ICAO-a procedure caused the autoplt to fly through 1500 ft rapidly. We caught it at 2000 ft and returned to 1500 ft as soon as possible (no conflict). There is no warning in our procedures to not use ICAO-a procedures below 3000 ft.

Title: A B757-200 CLBS RAPIDLY ABOVE ITS ASSIGNED ALT OF 1500 FT AT PBI WHEN THE FLC USES A NOISE ABATEMENT DEP PROC DESIGNED FOR ALTS 3000 FT AND ABOVE.
Narrative: NORMALLY, ICAO-A DEP FOR NOISE -- PER 10-7. B757 ICAO-A PROC: CLB AT V2 +10 FT TO 1500 FT, THEN FLT LEVEL CHANGE, SET V2 +15 FT TO 3000 FT. ON RWY, DUE TO WX, GIVEN R TURN, HDG 350 DEGS, CLB TO 1500 FT. (RWY 27R DEP.) FOLLOWING ICAO-A PROC CAUSED THE AUTOPLT TO FLY THROUGH 1500 FT RAPIDLY. WE CAUGHT IT AT 2000 FT AND RETURNED TO 1500 FT ASAP (NO CONFLICT). THERE IS NO WARNING IN OUR PROCS TO NOT USE ICAO-A PROCS BELOW 3000 FT.
