Narrative:

Departed IFR to acy from teb, assigned 040 degrees after departure to 1500 ft MSL then direct to beacon climb to 8000 ft. Departed and followed climb out instructions. At about 4000 ft the controller told us to stop our climb at 6000 ft due to higher traffic. I was slow in pulling the power back and arresting the climb. I reached 6600 ft before I was able to start a descent back down to 6000 ft. To avoid this from happening again the simple solution is for me to pay closer attention to my situational awareness and react quicker to a situation that always changes.

Title: ALT OVERSHOOT.

Narrative: DEPARTED IFR TO ACY FROM TEB, ASSIGNED 040 DEGS AFTER DEP TO 1500 FT MSL THEN DIRECT TO BEACON CLB TO 8000 FT. DEPARTED AND FOLLOWED CLBOUT INSTRUCTIONS. AT ABOUT 4000 FT THE CTLR TOLD US TO STOP OUR CLB AT 6000 FT DUE TO HIGHER TFC. I WAS SLOW IN PULLING THE PWR BACK AND ARRESTING THE CLB. I REACHED 6600 FT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO START A DSCNT BACK DOWN TO 6000 FT. TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN THE SIMPLE SOLUTION IS FOR ME TO PAY CLOSER ATTN TO MY SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND REACT QUICKER TO A SIT THAT ALWAYS CHANGES.
