Narrative:
Departed runway 29 cae. Clearance was climb to 2500 ft. At 400 ft AGL we switched to cae departure. They said, 'climb to 10000 ft, cleared direct choo choo VOR.' we were climbing at 3000 FPM. At 2600 ft MSL cae said, 'maintain 2500 ft.' we missed the mooney visually by leveling at 2800 ft. We need TCASII on all freighters and we need it yesterday, not tomorrow!
