<< >> NASA ASRS Report 416938, October 1998

Flight crew of a beech jet 400 overshot departure assigned altitude during initial climb from a non tower airport resulting in unauthorized entry of class B airspace. Departure controller reclred rptrs back to the secondary assigned altitude that would have been given after their initial contact at the first assigned altitude. Crew claimed that they had mistakenly left the last altitude in the FMS by mistake.

Narrative:

Our clearance was 'as filed, climb and maintain 1500 ft, at 1000 ft turn to 210 degrees.' after departure, we were told to contact mco departure. We called and stated we were out of 2000 ft for 3100 ft. The controller immediately cleared us 'to and maintain 2000 ft.' we had inadvertently left the last altitude select (3100 ft) in the FMS. We never reset it to the 1500 ft that was given in our clearance. A better departure before takeoff brief would have reduced the risk of this happening.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: FLC OF A BEECH JET 400 OVERSHOT DEP ASSIGNED ALT DURING INITIAL CLB FROM A NON TWR ARPT RESULTING IN UNAUTH ENTRY OF CLASS B AIRSPACE. DEP CTLR RECLRED RPTRS BACK TO THE SECONDARY ASSIGNED ALT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN AFTER THEIR INITIAL CONTACT AT THE FIRST ASSIGNED ALT. CREW CLAIMED THAT THEY HAD MISTAKENLY LEFT THE LAST ALT IN THE FMS BY MISTAKE.

Narrative: OUR CLRNC WAS 'AS FILED, CLB AND MAINTAIN 1500 FT, AT 1000 FT TURN TO 210 DEGS.' AFTER DEP, WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT MCO DEP. WE CALLED AND STATED WE WERE OUT OF 2000 FT FOR 3100 FT. THE CTLR IMMEDIATELY CLRED US 'TO AND MAINTAIN 2000 FT.' WE HAD INADVERTENTLY LEFT THE LAST ALT SELECT (3100 FT) IN THE FMS. WE NEVER RESET IT TO THE 1500 FT THAT WAS GIVEN IN OUR CLRNC. A BETTER DEP BEFORE TKOF BRIEF WOULD HAVE REDUCED THE RISK OF THIS HAPPENING.
