Narrative:

Issued tralr departure and 7000 ft by clearance. On climb out, shortly after takeoff, entered clouds with heavy rain and moderate turbulence. I was conducting IOE training on a new first officer and I was flying the leg. The autoplt had disengaged in the turbulence, so I was hand flying using the flight director and map mode of the FMS. Departure issued a clearance to 'climb to FL190, comply with restrs' during the initial turn on the departure. We set FL190 in the altitude alerter and I asked the first officer to monitor the departure and altitude restrs. My concern at the time was making the at or above 16000 ft restr at the FMS. Once I was certain we would make the willw restr, I transitioned to a normal climb mode. The first indication of a deviation was when approach control asked me to call after landing. After reviewing the departure plate, I realized that both of us had missed the at or below 7000 ft restr at roppr and crossed above 7000 ft (estimate 500 ft high). Although we should have seen this restr, it is an easy mistake to make, particularly in less than ideal conditions. Suggest that departure not issue a climb above 7000 ft until after roppr or use 'after roppr, climb to xxxxx,' if traffic is a factor. Supplemental information from acn 599388: I believe my low time in the md-83 and the new, 'for me,' first officer duties during the climb out caused me to not repeat the altitude restr on the climb out. The new fix names on the new departure also made the departure planning more confusing. Due to the 8000 ft traffic usually crossing over roppr, I feel the policy of clearing an aircraft to FL190 'with restrs' does not adequately highlight the critical nature of the '7000 ft or below' restr. I believe we should retain the policy in practice prior to this day of issuing the original clearance to maintain 7000 ft. The aircraft should not be cleared higher until departure control confirms there is no traffic conflict.

Title: MD83 CAPT CONDUCTING AN FO IOE, HAND FLYING DUE TO TURB, OVERSHOOTS LAS TRALR SID RESTR.

Narrative: ISSUED TRALR DEP AND 7000 FT BY CLRNC. ON CLBOUT, SHORTLY AFTER TKOF, ENTERED CLOUDS WITH HVY RAIN AND MODERATE TURB. I WAS CONDUCTING IOE TRAINING ON A NEW FO AND I WAS FLYING THE LEG. THE AUTOPLT HAD DISENGAGED IN THE TURB, SO I WAS HAND FLYING USING THE FLT DIRECTOR AND MAP MODE OF THE FMS. DEP ISSUED A CLRNC TO 'CLB TO FL190, COMPLY WITH RESTRS' DURING THE INITIAL TURN ON THE DEP. WE SET FL190 IN THE ALT ALERTER AND I ASKED THE FO TO MONITOR THE DEP AND ALT RESTRS. MY CONCERN AT THE TIME WAS MAKING THE AT OR ABOVE 16000 FT RESTR AT THE FMS. ONCE I WAS CERTAIN WE WOULD MAKE THE WILLW RESTR, I TRANSITIONED TO A NORMAL CLB MODE. THE FIRST INDICATION OF A DEV WAS WHEN APCH CTL ASKED ME TO CALL AFTER LNDG. AFTER REVIEWING THE DEP PLATE, I REALIZED THAT BOTH OF US HAD MISSED THE AT OR BELOW 7000 FT RESTR AT ROPPR AND CROSSED ABOVE 7000 FT (ESTIMATE 500 FT HIGH). ALTHOUGH WE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS RESTR, IT IS AN EASY MISTAKE TO MAKE, PARTICULARLY IN LESS THAN IDEAL CONDITIONS. SUGGEST THAT DEP NOT ISSUE A CLB ABOVE 7000 FT UNTIL AFTER ROPPR OR USE 'AFTER ROPPR, CLB TO XXXXX,' IF TFC IS A FACTOR. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 599388: I BELIEVE MY LOW TIME IN THE MD-83 AND THE NEW, 'FOR ME,' FO DUTIES DURING THE CLBOUT CAUSED ME TO NOT REPEAT THE ALT RESTR ON THE CLBOUT. THE NEW FIX NAMES ON THE NEW DEP ALSO MADE THE DEP PLANNING MORE CONFUSING. DUE TO THE 8000 FT TFC USUALLY XING OVER ROPPR, I FEEL THE POLICY OF CLRING AN ACFT TO FL190 'WITH RESTRS' DOES NOT ADEQUATELY HIGHLIGHT THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THE '7000 FT OR BELOW' RESTR. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD RETAIN THE POLICY IN PRACTICE PRIOR TO THIS DAY OF ISSUING THE ORIGINAL CLRNC TO MAINTAIN 7000 FT. THE ACFT SHOULD NOT BE CLRED HIGHER UNTIL DEP CTL CONFIRMS THERE IS NO TFC CONFLICT.
