Narrative:

On the departure I executed a turn at 1500 ft as depicted on the SID; however I did not wait until the required 4.5 DME fix to begin the climb to 2000 ft. ATC queried us as to the climb; however immediately cleared us to 10000 ft. Some contributing factors include the heavy workload of a extremely busy airport; IMC conditions; and a rushed departure out of teb. It was also the first time my first officer had flown out of teb in a turbojet aircraft. The situation could have been avoided by a better departure briefing; refusing the takeoff clearance and slowing the pace of the departure down.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN LR35 ON THE TEB5 RWY 24 SID CLBED TO 2000 FT PRIOR TO 4.5 DME.

Narrative: ON THE DEP I EXECUTED A TURN AT 1500 FT AS DEPICTED ON THE SID; HOWEVER I DID NOT WAIT UNTIL THE REQUIRED 4.5 DME FIX TO BEGIN THE CLB TO 2000 FT. ATC QUERIED US AS TO THE CLB; HOWEVER IMMEDIATELY CLRED US TO 10000 FT. SOME CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INCLUDE THE HEAVY WORKLOAD OF A EXTREMELY BUSY ARPT; IMC CONDITIONS; AND A RUSHED DEP OUT OF TEB. IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST TIME MY FO HAD FLOWN OUT OF TEB IN A TURBOJET ACFT. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY A BETTER DEP BRIEFING; REFUSING THE TKOF CLRNC AND SLOWING THE PACE OF THE DEP DOWN.
