Narrative:
Upon departing runway 1 at teb; we climbed on a 040 heading up to 2;000 ft. We were supposed to make the turn to heading 280 upon reaching the 2.3 DME from teb. When new york departure asked are we going to make the turn; we then turned to a 280 heading. The DME was closer to 3.5 miles by the time we made the turn. No further action was taken. We continued on that 280 heading and climbed when we were given a higher altitude. We briefed the departure two times before takeoff and we understood what we were supposed to do. There was moderate wet snow falling; and we had been de-iced prior to taxiing on the ramp. I was concerned about the snow sticking to the surface of the aircraft and I was trying to make sure we were going to take-off prior to the end of our hold-over time. I believe we could have been more engaged in the departure and been paying more attention to the teb DME. We also could have engaged navigation on the flight director since we had the teb 6 departure selected. That would have been another indication for us to use for the turn to 280 at 2.3 DME.

Title: A BE20 crew on the TEB6 Runway 1 departure failed to begin the turn to 280 at 2.3 DME. ATC cued the crew to begin at 3.5 DME.
Narrative: Upon departing Runway 1 at TEB; we climbed on a 040 heading up to 2;000 FT. We were supposed to make the turn to heading 280 upon reaching the 2.3 DME from TEB. When New York Departure asked are we going to make the turn; we then turned to a 280 heading. The DME was closer to 3.5 miles by the time we made the turn. No further action was taken. We continued on that 280 heading and climbed when we were given a higher altitude. We briefed the departure two times before takeoff and we understood what we were supposed to do. There was moderate wet snow falling; and we had been de-iced prior to taxiing on the ramp. I was concerned about the snow sticking to the surface of the aircraft and I was trying to make sure we were going to take-off prior to the end of our hold-over time. I believe we could have been more engaged in the departure and been paying more attention to the TEB DME. We also could have engaged NAV on the flight director since we had the TEB 6 departure selected. That would have been another indication for us to use for the turn to 280 at 2.3 DME.
