Narrative:
I was issued a clearance to depart using the teterboro 5 departure from runway 24. In the clearance I was issued and jotted down the departure frequency. With the first officer on the controls we were climbing through 1300 ft. Tower issued a frequency change. I looked at the tet 5 chart and dialed in the frequency. At 1500 ft I told the first officer to turn right heading 280 degrees as the procedure stated. I could not get departure and realized I had been issued an alternate frequency. I dialed in the frequency, assisted the first officer with speed control then he asked if he should continue to 2000 ft. I said 'yes, climb to level at 2000 ft.' I then got a hold of ATC and he informed me that I had climbed too early and to level at 2000 ft. He said to do it right next time. We had climbed at about 2.5-3 DME, not 4.5 DME as the procedure dictates. We continued on with no other problems. I had briefed the procedure correctly. On departure we were given an immediate takeoff and I tuned tower. I did not pretune approach. Additionally I had dialed 2000 ft into the altitude alerter with the intention of having the first officer level at 1500 ft and then climbing. (Due to the extremely short time at 1500 ft), when prompted about climbing, I glanced at the altitude alerter and said, yes. It says 2000 ft. Supplemental information from acn 564170: while on departure from teterboro, nj, we climbed to 1500 ft per the SID (teb 5 departure). The captain was instructed to switch to departure control. When he attempted to make contact no one answered. I leveled at 1500 ft while the captain obtained the correct frequency. He then advised me to turn to 280 degrees and climb to 2000 ft. I asked him to verify the altitude and heading. He again advised to climb to 2000 ft. I did this while the captain contacted departure. Departure then advised us that we were not following the SID and that we were too high. He then advised us to maintain 2000 ft. This was a training flight for this first officer. In the future, I will verify the frequencys and SID prior to flight.

Title: C550 CREW DEPART TEB ON TEB 5 DEP AND FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE INITIAL HEADING AND ALTS TO BE FLOWN.
Narrative: I WAS ISSUED A CLRNC TO DEPART USING THE TETERBORO 5 DEP FROM RWY 24. IN THE CLRNC I WAS ISSUED AND JOTTED DOWN THE DEP FREQ. WITH THE FO ON THE CTLS WE WERE CLBING THROUGH 1300 FT. TWR ISSUED A FREQ CHANGE. I LOOKED AT THE TET 5 CHART AND DIALED IN THE FREQ. AT 1500 FT I TOLD THE FO TO TURN R HEADING 280 DEGS AS THE PROC STATED. I COULD NOT GET DEP AND REALIZED I HAD BEEN ISSUED AN ALTERNATE FREQ. I DIALED IN THE FREQ, ASSISTED THE FO WITH SPD CTL THEN HE ASKED IF HE SHOULD CONTINUE TO 2000 FT. I SAID 'YES, CLB TO LEVEL AT 2000 FT.' I THEN GOT A HOLD OF ATC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT I HAD CLBED TOO EARLY AND TO LEVEL AT 2000 FT. HE SAID TO DO IT RIGHT NEXT TIME. WE HAD CLBED AT ABOUT 2.5-3 DME, NOT 4.5 DME AS THE PROC DICTATES. WE CONTINUED ON WITH NO OTHER PROBS. I HAD BRIEFED THE PROC CORRECTLY. ON DEP WE WERE GIVEN AN IMMEDIATE TKOF AND I TUNED TWR. I DID NOT PRETUNE APCH. ADDITIONALLY I HAD DIALED 2000 FT INTO THE ALT ALERTER WITH THE INTENTION OF HAVING THE FO LEVEL AT 1500 FT AND THEN CLBING. (DUE TO THE EXTREMELY SHORT TIME AT 1500 FT), WHEN PROMPTED ABOUT CLBING, I GLANCED AT THE ALT ALERTER AND SAID, YES. IT SAYS 2000 FT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 564170: WHILE ON DEP FROM TETERBORO, NJ, WE CLBED TO 1500 FT PER THE SID (TEB 5 DEP). THE CAPT WAS INSTRUCTED TO SWITCH TO DEP CTL. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE CONTACT NO ONE ANSWERED. I LEVELED AT 1500 FT WHILE THE CAPT OBTAINED THE CORRECT FREQ. HE THEN ADVISED ME TO TURN TO 280 DEGS AND CLB TO 2000 FT. I ASKED HIM TO VERIFY THE ALT AND HEADING. HE AGAIN ADVISED TO CLB TO 2000 FT. I DID THIS WHILE THE CAPT CONTACTED DEP. DEP THEN ADVISED US THAT WE WERE NOT FOLLOWING THE SID AND THAT WE WERE TOO HIGH. HE THEN ADVISED US TO MAINTAIN 2000 FT. THIS WAS A TRAINING FLT FOR THIS FO. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL VERIFY THE FREQS AND SID PRIOR TO FLT.
