Narrative:

While looking over the POM7 SID during preflight; I noticed that there was a crossing restr at pom of 7000 ft maximum. I twisted in 7000 ft in the altitude alerter; as our FMS does not honor altitudes in a climb. Later; when the pre departure clearance arrived it had cleared us to 14000 ft and I twisted that into the altitude alerter; forgetting about the 7000 ft. It was the first officer's leg and he was briefing the departure and I allowed myself to be distraction with some other paperwork; and did not pay attention that closely to what he was saying. During climb out passing through approximately 8500 ft; socal departure asked if we were aware of the crossing restr at pom. I said yes it is 7000 ft and noted we were at pom. The controller replied 'just checking.' all of this could have been avoided if: I had not allowed myself to get hurried when the pre departure clearance arrived and put in 14000 ft. Both the first officer and I discussed the crossing altitude in the brief. As captain it's my job to make sure all items are briefed and understood. Contributing factors: it was my second leg after being off for a month. Commercial charts are still not second in nature to me and their 8.5 X 11 inch size makes them difficult to use on a yoke clip. I'll avoid this problem in the future by slowing down in the preflight and being more involved in the brief.

Title: AN A300 FLT CREW CLIMBING OUT OF ONT ON THE POM7 SID FAIL TO CROSS POM AT 7000 OR BELOW.

Narrative: WHILE LOOKING OVER THE POM7 SID DURING PREFLT; I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A XING RESTR AT POM OF 7000 FT MAX. I TWISTED IN 7000 FT IN THE ALT ALERTER; AS OUR FMS DOES NOT HONOR ALTS IN A CLB. LATER; WHEN THE PDC ARRIVED IT HAD CLRED US TO 14000 FT AND I TWISTED THAT INTO THE ALT ALERTER; FORGETTING ABOUT THE 7000 FT. IT WAS THE FO'S LEG AND HE WAS BRIEFING THE DEP AND I ALLOWED MYSELF TO BE DISTR WITH SOME OTHER PAPERWORK; AND DID NOT PAY ATTN THAT CLOSELY TO WHAT HE WAS SAYING. DURING CLBOUT PASSING THROUGH APPROX 8500 FT; SOCAL DEP ASKED IF WE WERE AWARE OF THE XING RESTR AT POM. I SAID YES IT IS 7000 FT AND NOTED WE WERE AT POM. THE CTLR REPLIED 'JUST CHKING.' ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF: I HAD NOT ALLOWED MYSELF TO GET HURRIED WHEN THE PDC ARRIVED AND PUT IN 14000 FT. BOTH THE FO AND I DISCUSSED THE XING ALT IN THE BRIEF. AS CAPT IT'S MY JOB TO MAKE SURE ALL ITEMS ARE BRIEFED AND UNDERSTOOD. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: IT WAS MY SECOND LEG AFTER BEING OFF FOR A MONTH. COMMERCIAL CHARTS ARE STILL NOT SECOND IN NATURE TO ME AND THEIR 8.5 X 11 INCH SIZE MAKES THEM DIFFICULT TO USE ON A YOKE CLIP. I'LL AVOID THIS PROB IN THE FUTURE BY SLOWING DOWN IN THE PREFLT AND BEING MORE INVOLVED IN THE BRIEF.
