Narrative:
We were assigned the dalton departure off runway 19 at teb. The PIC was newly qualified in the aircraft. We did brief the departure and wanted to climb as quickly as possible to comply with noise abatement. I was the non-flying pilot and after being switched over to departure I started to check in. I started to call with our altitude and was startled that it was above 1300 ft and climbing rapidly. I shoved the yoke forward to rapidly descend back to 1300 ft as no passenger were on board. The aircraft probably ballooned up to 1600 ft before descending back to 1300 ft. Departure was not pleased to say the least. We got the plane level at 1300 ft without any other problems. I believe that the error occurred due to the lack of experience that the PIC has in this aircraft and that he turned the pitch control wheel improperly to cause the altitude not to capture. The pilot error certainly was not on purpose and I believe that the PIC understands his error. We will both be more diligent on this particular departure in the future.

Title: CE550 FLT CREW OVERSHOT THE PUBLISHED ALT SPECIFIED IN THE DALTON DEP FOR TEB.
Narrative: WE WERE ASSIGNED THE DALTON DEP OFF RWY 19 AT TEB. THE PIC WAS NEWLY QUALIFIED IN THE ACFT. WE DID BRIEF THE DEP AND WANTED TO CLB AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO COMPLY WITH NOISE ABATEMENT. I WAS THE NON-FLYING PLT AND AFTER BEING SWITCHED OVER TO DEP I STARTED TO CHK IN. I STARTED TO CALL WITH OUR ALTITUDE AND WAS STARTLED THAT IT WAS ABOVE 1300 FT AND CLBING RAPIDLY. I SHOVED THE YOKE FORWARD TO RAPIDLY DSND BACK TO 1300 FT AS NO PAX WERE ON BOARD. THE ACFT PROBABLY BALLOONED UP TO 1600 FT BEFORE DSNDING BACK TO 1300 FT. DEP WAS NOT PLEASED TO SAY THE LEAST. WE GOT THE PLANE LEVEL AT 1300 FT WITHOUT ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THAT THE ERROR OCCURRED DUE TO THE LACK OF EXPERIENCE THAT THE PIC HAS IN THIS ACFT AND THAT HE TURNED THE PITCH CONTROL WHEEL IMPROPERLY TO CAUSE THE ALTITUDE NOT TO CAPTURE. THE PLT ERROR CERTAINLY WAS NOT ON PURPOSE AND I BELIEVE THAT THE PIC UNDERSTANDS HIS ERROR. WE WILL BOTH BE MORE DILIGENT ON THIS PARTICULAR DEP IN THE FUTURE.
