Narrative:
On departure, miscom between copilot (PNF) and captain (PF) resulted in temporary altitude deviation from 4000 ft assigned to 5000 ft. Correction started immediately just before controling agency called. No known conflicts with other aircraft. More emphasis is now being placed on departure briefing even if from home field.
