Narrative:
While departing from teb runway 24 we were experiencing wind gusts from minus 20 KTS to plus 20 KTS on the airspeed and moderate turbulence. After leveling off at 1500 ft and turning to the 280 degree heading. We experienced a windshear or updraft that pushed the aircraft up to 1800 to 1900 ft. While correcting to the 1500 ft level and passing back through 1700 ft ATC asked what altitude we were at; we advised ATC 1700 ft. ATC immediately gave us a climb to 5000 ft. While reflecting on what happened after the flight and trying to come up with a solution. Understanding where we were at in the airspace in reference to ewr arrivals we decided we could have made a more aggressive descent to the 1500 ft and disregard the passenger comfort in this situation. Additional windshear training will definitely be in our curriculum for next recurrent training session.

Title: A FALCON 2000 FLT CREW DEPARTING TEB DEVIATED FROM THE CHARTED ALT WHEN AN UPDRAFT FORCED THEIR ACFT TO CLB.
Narrative: WHILE DEPARTING FROM TEB RWY 24 WE WERE EXPERIENCING WIND GUSTS FROM MINUS 20 KTS TO PLUS 20 KTS ON THE AIRSPEED AND MODERATE TURB. AFTER LEVELING OFF AT 1500 FT AND TURNING TO THE 280 DEG HEADING. WE EXPERIENCED A WINDSHEAR OR UPDRAFT THAT PUSHED THE ACFT UP TO 1800 TO 1900 FT. WHILE CORRECTING TO THE 1500 FT LEVEL AND PASSING BACK THROUGH 1700 FT ATC ASKED WHAT ALT WE WERE AT; WE ADVISED ATC 1700 FT. ATC IMMEDIATELY GAVE US A CLB TO 5000 FT. WHILE REFLECTING ON WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE FLIGHT AND TRYING TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE WERE AT IN THE AIRSPACE IN REFERENCE TO EWR ARRIVALS WE DECIDED WE COULD HAVE MADE A MORE AGGRESSIVE DESCENT TO THE 1500 FT AND DISREGARD THE PAX COMFORT IN THIS SITUATION. ADDITIONAL WINDSHEAR TRAINING WILL DEFINITELY BE IN OUR CURRICULUM FOR NEXT RECURRENT TRAINING SESSION.
