Narrative:
After dropping off a passenger, we departed lebanon, nh, on an IFR flight plan to bdr. After departing, cleared direct to unker intersection, maintain 7000 ft, we had an uneventful flight to bdr. After postflt while cleaning up the aircraft, I realized that I had misread the instrument departure procedure at leb. The chart wording said something in the effect of 'climb visually to cross the airport at or above 1500 ft MSL' while departing runway 18. I had departed runway 18 climbing at 1500 FPM, and had reached 1500 ft MSL in under a min while in VMC, but didn't 'cross' the airport directly overhead at or above 1500 ft MSL. At no time was there a collision risk with terrain, but instrument departure procedures are presented for a reason, and should be followed to the letter. I had simply misread it.

Title: PLT OF AN SMT TWIN FAILED TO FOLLOW THE IFR STANDARD DEP AFTER TKOF DUE TO LACK OF REVIEWING IFR DEP PROC.
Narrative: AFTER DROPPING OFF A PAX, WE DEPARTED LEBANON, NH, ON AN IFR FLT PLAN TO BDR. AFTER DEPARTING, CLRED DIRECT TO UNKER INTXN, MAINTAIN 7000 FT, WE HAD AN UNEVENTFUL FLT TO BDR. AFTER POSTFLT WHILE CLEANING UP THE ACFT, I REALIZED THAT I HAD MISREAD THE INST DEP PROC AT LEB. THE CHART WORDING SAID SOMETHING IN THE EFFECT OF 'CLB VISUALLY TO CROSS THE ARPT AT OR ABOVE 1500 FT MSL' WHILE DEPARTING RWY 18. I HAD DEPARTED RWY 18 CLBING AT 1500 FPM, AND HAD REACHED 1500 FT MSL IN UNDER A MIN WHILE IN VMC, BUT DIDN'T 'CROSS' THE ARPT DIRECTLY OVERHEAD AT OR ABOVE 1500 FT MSL. AT NO TIME WAS THERE A COLLISION RISK WITH TERRAIN, BUT INST DEP PROCS ARE PRESENTED FOR A REASON, AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER. I HAD SIMPLY MISREAD IT.
