Narrative:

First officer was flying from the left seat on a ferry flight from teb to bds. On climb out, captain called 1000 ft below leveloff altitude of 6000 ft. First officer acknowledged 5000 ft for 6000 ft. Through 6600 ft, captain noticed and called 'airspeed' which was increasing to 280 KTS. First officer climbed through 6000 ft, captain said 'stop, stop climb.' first officer finally leveled at 6300 ft and descended back to 6000 ft and brought speed back to 250 KTS. Next, we were cleared to 17000 ft. Through 16100 ft, ATC called to amend altitude to 16000 ft. Captain was handling radios and said we are already through 16000 ft but will descend back down. First officer stopped climb at maximum altitude of 16800 ft and descended back to 16000 ft. We must remain ever vigilant -- especially when other pilot is experienced. First officer is retired airline pilot, now 61 yrs old. I expected him to perform better, since he now has 1 yr with current company and 500+ hours in type.

THROUGH 6600 FT, CAPT NOTICED AND CALLED 'AIRSPD' WHICH WAS INCREASING TO 280 KTS. FO CLBED THROUGH 6000 FT, CAPT SAID 'STOP, STOP CLB.' FO FINALLY LEVELED AT 6300 FT AND DSNDED BACK TO 6000 FT AND BROUGHT SPD BACK TO 250 KTS. NEXT, WE WERE CLRED TO 17000 FT. THROUGH 16100 FT, ATC CALLED TO AMEND ALT TO 16000 FT. CAPT WAS HANDLING RADIOS AND SAID WE ARE ALREADY THROUGH 16000 FT BUT WILL DSND BACK DOWN. FO STOPPED CLB AT MAX ALT OF 16800 FT AND DSNDED BACK TO 16000 FT. WE MUST REMAIN EVER VIGILANT -- ESPECIALLY WHEN OTHER PLT IS EXPERIENCED. FO IS RETIRED AIRLINE PLT, NOW 61 YRS OLD. I EXPECTED HIM TO PERFORM BETTER, SINCE HE NOW HAS 1 YR WITH CURRENT COMPANY AND 500+ HRS IN TYPE.
