Narrative:

On the boach 2 departure, passing through 6200 ft MSL, climbing at 2500 FPM, las departure advised 'climb to FL190, comply with restrs.' we passed through the assigned altitude at boach (7000 ft) and discovered our error at 7600 ft MSL. We began a descent back toward 7000 ft as the departure controller was calling us. Normally, we are not given a restr climb from las. We have a modest climb profile and this is not usually something we are issued. Also, since it was windy, and there were airmets for turbulence at lower altitudes, I was thinking to get to a higher altitude quickly. In addition, we were follwoing a larger aircraft on the departure and I wanted to climb above his wake turbulence. The controller's instructions gave me very little time to arrest my upward momentum without causing passenger discomfort. More importantly, I failed to review the initial climb restrs during my pretkof brief. I had noted the initial directions and turn points, but did not reinforce the initial altitude as 'at or below.' this was due to 2 factors: 1) the 'abnormal' climb restr (error of expectation) and 2) a disagreement with my first officer. He felt as though I had been too detail-oriented during our tour, in an attempt to 'lighten-up' I failed to check this particular detail. Also, there was a sense of 'las flight before going home,' and it was a clear day and an easy flight, both of which contributed to a less regimented attitude during the initial stages of the flight. This event reinforced for me the concept that every flight requires the same attention to detail, regardless of which part of the duty rotation it falls in. In addition, conflicts between crew members cannot be allowed to manifest in inattention to cockpit duties or detail. In the future, I will solicit more feedback during or after my briefings to ensure that both crew members have reviewed assigned procedures for details, and that each has the opportunity to clarify any issues which were not specifically mentioned. Also, I have been reminded that procedural restrs noted may be imposed at any time. Consequently, I should expect to be required to comply with them unless instructed otherwise, rather than expecting that they will not be required because I don't often get them.

Title: A CE525 FLT CREW FAIL TO PROPERLY BRIEF AND COMPLY WITH THE DEP PROC OUT OF LAS, RESULTING IN A CLBING XING RESTR NOT BEING MET.

Narrative: ON THE BOACH 2 DEP, PASSING THROUGH 6200 FT MSL, CLBING AT 2500 FPM, LAS DEP ADVISED 'CLB TO FL190, COMPLY WITH RESTRS.' WE PASSED THROUGH THE ASSIGNED ALT AT BOACH (7000 FT) AND DISCOVERED OUR ERROR AT 7600 FT MSL. WE BEGAN A DSCNT BACK TOWARD 7000 FT AS THE DEP CTLR WAS CALLING US. NORMALLY, WE ARE NOT GIVEN A RESTR CLB FROM LAS. WE HAVE A MODEST CLB PROFILE AND THIS IS NOT USUALLY SOMETHING WE ARE ISSUED. ALSO, SINCE IT WAS WINDY, AND THERE WERE AIRMETS FOR TURB AT LOWER ALTS, I WAS THINKING TO GET TO A HIGHER ALT QUICKLY. IN ADDITION, WE WERE FOLLWOING A LARGER ACFT ON THE DEP AND I WANTED TO CLB ABOVE HIS WAKE TURB. THE CTLR'S INSTRUCTIONS GAVE ME VERY LITTLE TIME TO ARREST MY UPWARD MOMENTUM WITHOUT CAUSING PAX DISCOMFORT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I FAILED TO REVIEW THE INITIAL CLB RESTRS DURING MY PRETKOF BRIEF. I HAD NOTED THE INITIAL DIRECTIONS AND TURN POINTS, BUT DID NOT REINFORCE THE INITIAL ALT AS 'AT OR BELOW.' THIS WAS DUE TO 2 FACTORS: 1) THE 'ABNORMAL' CLB RESTR (ERROR OF EXPECTATION) AND 2) A DISAGREEMENT WITH MY FO. HE FELT AS THOUGH I HAD BEEN TOO DETAIL-ORIENTED DURING OUR TOUR, IN AN ATTEMPT TO 'LIGHTEN-UP' I FAILED TO CHK THIS PARTICULAR DETAIL. ALSO, THERE WAS A SENSE OF 'LAS FLT BEFORE GOING HOME,' AND IT WAS A CLR DAY AND AN EASY FLT, BOTH OF WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO A LESS REGIMENTED ATTITUDE DURING THE INITIAL STAGES OF THE FLT. THIS EVENT REINFORCED FOR ME THE CONCEPT THAT EVERY FLT REQUIRES THE SAME ATTN TO DETAIL, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PART OF THE DUTY ROTATION IT FALLS IN. IN ADDITION, CONFLICTS BTWN CREW MEMBERS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO MANIFEST IN INATTENTION TO COCKPIT DUTIES OR DETAIL. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL SOLICIT MORE FEEDBACK DURING OR AFTER MY BRIEFINGS TO ENSURE THAT BOTH CREW MEMBERS HAVE REVIEWED ASSIGNED PROCS FOR DETAILS, AND THAT EACH HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLARIFY ANY ISSUES WHICH WERE NOT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN REMINDED THAT PROCEDURAL RESTRS NOTED MAY BE IMPOSED AT ANY TIME. CONSEQUENTLY, I SHOULD EXPECT TO BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THEM UNLESS INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE, RATHER THAN EXPECTING THAT THEY WILL NOT BE REQUIRED BECAUSE I DON'T OFTEN GET THEM.
