Narrative:

We were a climb out from syr, being stepped to FL390. I had a new freshly typed, foreign first officer that the company had given me. This was strictly a part 91 flight back to our base and it was a leg that he wanted to fly. We were IMC, with a little turbulence and we were cleared to 10000 ft. Things were going well and all of a sudden we were pitched up. That caused a climb of about 600-800 ft really fast. I grabbed the yoke and pushed the nose down to stop the plane from climbing. There didn't seem to be any problems from that point on. I regained my assigned altitude within 15 seconds. I later admonished the first officer for not being more forceful in the control of the aircraft.

Title: AN SMT CREW ZOOMED THROUGH THEIR ASSIGNED ALT WHILE N IMC AND TURB.

Narrative: WE WERE A CLB OUT FROM SYR, BEING STEPPED TO FL390. I HAD A NEW FRESHLY TYPED, FOREIGN FO THAT THE COMPANY HAD GIVEN ME. THIS WAS STRICTLY A PART 91 FLT BACK TO OUR BASE AND IT WAS A LEG THAT HE WANTED TO FLY. WE WERE IMC, WITH A LITTLE TURB AND WE WERE CLRED TO 10000 FT. THINGS WERE GOING WELL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE WERE PITCHED UP. THAT CAUSED A CLB OF ABOUT 600-800 FT REALLY FAST. I GRABBED THE YOKE AND PUSHED THE NOSE DOWN TO STOP THE PLANE FROM CLBING. THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY PROBLEMS FROM THAT POINT ON. I REGAINED MY ASSIGNED ALT WITHIN 15 SECONDS. I LATER ADMONISHED THE FO FOR NOT BEING MORE FORCEFUL IN THE CTL OF THE ACFT.
