Narrative:

A qualified first officer was in the left seat for the flight to lwd. We picked up the clearance for the 1 hour flight. Upon receiving the clearance we briefed the departure and the noise profile for runway 24. As we taxied out we were given a re-route for WX. We rebriefed the clearance and the noise profile for a minimum EPR power takeoff for runway 24 to teb .6 DME and also the SID -- runway heading to 1500 ft turn to 280 degrees, maintain 1500 ft until passing teb 4.5 DME climb to 3000 ft. After takeoff we reduced power. I called out 500 ft for 1500 ft and then coming up on 1500 ft heading 280 degrees. At that time tower switched us over to departure. I looked down to switch the radio. As I looked up and called departure I noticed we were approaching 2000 ft. I told departure we were 2000 ft. He said you should be at 1500 ft descend to 1500 ft and then he said to maintain 2000 ft. Departure control and I discussed the SID as we were cleared to 3000 ft then handed off to another sector. The situation occurred due to a high performance aircraft with a light load coupled with a high performance takeoff for noise and low initial altitude. To prevent a recurrence the captain should monitor the complete leveloff before switching radios.

Title: FLC OF CPR JET CLBS ABOVE ASSIGNED AND PUBLISHED ALT ON DEP.

Narrative: A QUALIFIED FO WAS IN THE L SEAT FOR THE FLT TO LWD. WE PICKED UP THE CLRNC FOR THE 1 HR FLT. UPON RECEIVING THE CLRNC WE BRIEFED THE DEP AND THE NOISE PROFILE FOR RWY 24. AS WE TAXIED OUT WE WERE GIVEN A RE-RTE FOR WX. WE REBRIEFED THE CLRNC AND THE NOISE PROFILE FOR A MINIMUM EPR PWR TKOF FOR RWY 24 TO TEB .6 DME AND ALSO THE SID -- RWY HEADING TO 1500 FT TURN TO 280 DEGS, MAINTAIN 1500 FT UNTIL PASSING TEB 4.5 DME CLB TO 3000 FT. AFTER TKOF WE REDUCED PWR. I CALLED OUT 500 FT FOR 1500 FT AND THEN COMING UP ON 1500 FT HDG 280 DEGS. AT THAT TIME TWR SWITCHED US OVER TO DEP. I LOOKED DOWN TO SWITCH THE RADIO. AS I LOOKED UP AND CALLED DEP I NOTICED WE WERE APCHING 2000 FT. I TOLD DEP WE WERE 2000 FT. HE SAID YOU SHOULD BE AT 1500 FT DSND TO 1500 FT AND THEN HE SAID TO MAINTAIN 2000 FT. DEP CTL AND I DISCUSSED THE SID AS WE WERE CLRED TO 3000 FT THEN HANDED OFF TO ANOTHER SECTOR. THE SIT OCCURRED DUE TO A HIGH PERFORMANCE ACFT WITH A LIGHT LOAD COUPLED WITH A HIGH PERFORMANCE TKOF FOR NOISE AND LOW INITIAL ALT. TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE THE CAPT SHOULD MONITOR THE COMPLETE LEVELOFF BEFORE SWITCHING RADIOS.
