Narrative:
We departed teb from runway 24 on the teb 5 departure to parke intersection. Shortly after being handed off to departure and leveling at 1500 ft MSL; we were given a heading of 280. I did not hear it but apparently we were told to maintain 1500 ft. Being on the teb 5; I thought we were able to climb to the final altitude on that procedure which is 2000 ft MSL. After initiating a slow climb from 1500 ft; we queried ATC about the altitude assignment and were told to maintain 1500 ft. We never even got to 1800 ft before returning to 1500 ft. ATC actually then cleared us to 4000 ft before we even got back to 1500 ft. As there was little traffic that day; there was no aircraft near us and ATC never mentioned any traffic or altitude deviation to us. It was hard to hear the controller and the way the teb 5 is depicted; it looked like we were allowed to climb to 2000 ft when he vectored us.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A CE560 FLT CREW ON THE TEB 5 WAS GIVEN AN EARLY HDG CHANGE TO 280 DEG AND WERE TOLD TO MAINTAIN 1500 FT. THE CREW EXPERIENCED AN EXCURSION FROM ASSIGNED ALT AS THEY BEGAN A SLOW CLB WITHOUT CLRNC.
Narrative: WE DEPARTED TEB FROM RUNWAY 24 ON THE TEB 5 DEPARTURE TO PARKE INTERSECTION. SHORTLY AFTER BEING HANDED OFF TO DEPARTURE AND LEVELING AT 1500 FT MSL; WE WERE GIVEN A HEADING OF 280. I DID NOT HEAR IT BUT APPARENTLY WE WERE TOLD TO MAINTAIN 1500 FT. BEING ON THE TEB 5; I THOUGHT WE WERE ABLE TO CLIMB TO THE FINAL ALTITUDE ON THAT PROCEDURE WHICH IS 2000 FT MSL. AFTER INITIATING A SLOW CLIMB FROM 1500 FT; WE QUERIED ATC ABOUT THE ALTITUDE ASSIGNMENT AND WERE TOLD TO MAINTAIN 1500 FT. WE NEVER EVEN GOT TO 1800 FT BEFORE RETURNING TO 1500 FT. ATC ACTUALLY THEN CLEARED US TO 4000 FT BEFORE WE EVEN GOT BACK TO 1500 FT. AS THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC THAT DAY; THERE WAS NO AIRCRAFT NEAR US AND ATC NEVER MENTIONED ANY TRAFFIC OR ALTITUDE DEVIATION TO US. IT WAS HARD TO HEAR THE CONTROLLER AND THE WAY THE TEB 5 IS DEPICTED; IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE ALLOWED TO CLIMB TO 2000 FT WHEN HE VECTORED US.
