Narrative:

Upon flying the published SID (teb 5) the PNF placed the altitude selector on 2000 ft when the published altitude is 1500 ft. Going through 1400 ft I questioned the PNF on the altitude at which he confirmed 2000 ft. Upon closer examination he noticed it was actually 1500 ft. The aircraft was at approximately 1700 ft when I began a quick descent back to 1500 ft. Although the SID was briefed including turns; DME and altitudes the altitude selector was set to the final climb altitude instead of the initial. This problem could have been diverted by better briefing by the PNF and not getting into a rush. This has been discussed to the company and placed into our training program to be sure this was the last deviation.

Title: BE30 FAILS TO STOP CLIMB AT 1500 PER TEB SID FROM TEB.

Narrative: UPON FLYING THE PUBLISHED SID (TEB 5) THE PNF PLACED THE ALTITUDE SELECTOR ON 2000 FT WHEN THE PUBLISHED ALTITUDE IS 1500 FT. GOING THROUGH 1400 FT I QUESTIONED THE PNF ON THE ALTITUDE AT WHICH HE CONFIRMED 2000 FT. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION HE NOTICED IT WAS ACTUALLY 1500 FT. THE ACFT WAS AT APPROX 1700 FT WHEN I BEGAN A QUICK DSCNT BACK TO 1500 FT. ALTHOUGH THE SID WAS BRIEFED INCLUDING TURNS; DME AND ALTITUDES THE ALTITUDE SELECTOR WAS SET TO THE FINAL CLB ALTITUDE INSTEAD OF THE INITIAL. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN DIVERTED BY BETTER BRIEFING BY THE PNF AND NOT GETTING INTO A RUSH. THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED TO THE COMPANY AND PLACED INTO OUR TRAINING PROGRAM TO BE SURE THIS WAS THE LAST DEVIATION.
