Narrative:

We missed the part on the SID that said climb from 1500 ft MSL to 2000 ft MSL after crossing 4.5 DME. We had been in and out of that airport 4 times within the last 2 days. Each time we used another runway that used the same altitudes, but with no DME distance. As soon as you hit 1500 ft MSL you continued the climb to 2000 ft MSL with a left turn. Ny ATC said we might want to study the SID more carefully next time, and we did. I think the teb SID is way too complicated with low altitudes for the high workload phase of the takeoff. I don't think you would find a SID like this at an airport served by part 121 carriers. I think my decision to let the sic pilot brief me on the departure, and not looking at the SID myself was not a wise one. In a word, complacency.

Title: A LEAR 60 FLT CREW FAIL TO FOLLOW THE SID INSTRUCTIONS OUT OF TEB.

Narrative: WE MISSED THE PART ON THE SID THAT SAID CLB FROM 1500 FT MSL TO 2000 FT MSL AFTER CROSSING 4.5 DME. WE HAD BEEN IN AND OUT OF THAT ARPT 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 2 DAYS. EACH TIME WE USED ANOTHER RWY THAT USED THE SAME ALTS, BUT WITH NO DME DISTANCE. AS SOON AS YOU HIT 1500 FT MSL YOU CONTINUED THE CLB TO 2000 FT MSL WITH A L TURN. NY ATC SAID WE MIGHT WANT TO STUDY THE SID MORE CAREFULLY NEXT TIME, AND WE DID. I THINK THE TEB SID IS WAY TOO COMPLICATED WITH LOW ALTS FOR THE HIGH WORKLOAD PHASE OF THE TAKEOFF. I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD FIND A SID LIKE THIS AT AN ARPT SERVED BY PART 121 CARRIERS. I THINK MY DECISION TO LET THE SIC PLT BRIEF ME ON THE DEP, AND NOT LOOKING AT THE SID MYSELF WAS NOT A WISE ONE. IN A WORD, COMPLACENCY.
