Narrative:

After an extensive wait on the ground for departure from teb airport while #3 for departure the airport was turned around and we transitioned to the opposite runway for takeoff. I had all instruments; FMS; etc; set up for the teb 5 departure to the north. With a transition to a southerly takeoff. I switched my FMS to the different departure procedure (still the teb 5) and prepared for takeoff. The wind was a near direct crosswind 20 gusting to 30 with windshear reported by multiple aircraft. I took off; when cleared; and followed the departure procedure. The procedure prescribed a climb to 1500 ft with a turn till reaching 4.5 DME; then climbing to 2000 ft. Instead of correctly following the procedure; I climbed to 2000 ft when I started the turn which is the procedure for taking off to the north; not the south. Approach control told me to descend back down to 1500 ft; the correct altitude; which I did. The altitude deviation was due to my confusion between the north and south departure procedure. I had been all ready for the north procedure; but although I got the FMS etc; programmed for the south procedure; my brain was still programmed for the north procedure. Contributing factors were the difficult WX conditions and windshear that I encountered on takeoff; that we were running late after a 50 minute ground delay; the switching of takeoff runways right before my departure; and that I was flying the jet aircraft single pilot in the very busy and complex airspace and complex departure procedure.

Title: A CORPORATE JET CAPT FAILED TO OBSERVE THE 1500 FT ALT RESTR ON THE TEB 5 PROC .

Narrative: AFTER AN EXTENSIVE WAIT ON THE GND FOR DEP FROM TEB ARPT WHILE #3 FOR DEP THE ARPT WAS TURNED AROUND AND WE TRANSITIONED TO THE OPPOSITE RWY FOR TAKEOFF. I HAD ALL INSTRUMENTS; FMS; ETC; SET UP FOR THE TEB 5 DEP TO THE N. WITH A TRANSITION TO A SOUTHERLY TAKEOFF. I SWITCHED MY FMS TO THE DIFFERENT DEP PROC (STILL THE TEB 5) AND PREPARED FOR TAKEOFF. THE WIND WAS A NEAR DIRECT CROSSWIND 20 GUSTING TO 30 WITH WINDSHEAR RPTED BY MULTIPLE ACFT. I TOOK OFF; WHEN CLRED; AND FOLLOWED THE DEP PROC. THE PROC PRESCRIBED A CLB TO 1500 FT WITH A TURN TILL REACHING 4.5 DME; THEN CLBING TO 2000 FT. INSTEAD OF CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE PROC; I CLBED TO 2000 FT WHEN I STARTED THE TURN WHICH IS THE PROC FOR TAKING OFF TO THE N; NOT THE S. APCH CTL TOLD ME TO DSND BACK DOWN TO 1500 FT; THE CORRECT ALTITUDE; WHICH I DID. THE ALTITUDE DEV WAS DUE TO MY CONFUSION BETWEEN THE N AND S DEP PROC. I HAD BEEN ALL READY FOR THE N PROC; BUT ALTHOUGH I GOT THE FMS ETC; PROGRAMMED FOR THE S PROC; MY BRAIN WAS STILL PROGRAMMED FOR THE N PROC. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE THE DIFFICULT WX CONDITIONS AND WINDSHEAR THAT I ENCOUNTERED ON TAKEOFF; THAT WE WERE RUNNING LATE AFTER A 50 MINUTE GND DELAY; THE SWITCHING OF TAKEOFF RWYS RIGHT BEFORE MY DEP; AND THAT I WAS FLYING THE JET ACFT SINGLE PLT IN THE VERY BUSY AND COMPLEX AIRSPACE AND COMPLEX DEP PROC.
