Narrative:

We were departing teterboro; nj (teb) on a part 91 ferry flight. We were assigned the ruudy 2 departure and given an altitude assignment of expect 3000 ft in 10 minutes. Both my captain and I reviewed the plate; read the initial altitude assignment block and ensured each waypoint was listed in the FMS before taxiing to runway 24. Unfortunately; we did not notice the altitude restriction of 1500 ft at wentz on the plan view. We set the initial altitude as 3000 ft in the altitude alerter due to this error. Upon initiating the departure we flew through the 1500 ft restriction and reached 2000 ft when we were alerted by ATC of our deviation. We immediately returned to the correct altitude for the departure and continued the flight with no further issues. Since both of us had never done the ruudy departure procedure before; a better review of the plan view portion of the SID would have enabled us to set the correct altitude from the start. Our complacency in reading only the initial climb section of the plate caused us to make the error in selecting 3000 ft as our initial altitude. Luckily; as per the controller; there was no conflicting traffic in the area at the time.

Narrative: We were departing Teterboro; NJ (TEB) on a Part 91 ferry flight. We were assigned the RUUDY 2 Departure and given an altitude assignment of expect 3000 FT in 10 minutes. Both my Captain and I reviewed the plate; read the initial altitude assignment block and ensured each waypoint was listed in the FMS before taxiing to Runway 24. Unfortunately; we did not notice the altitude restriction of 1500 FT at WENTZ on the plan view. We set the initial altitude as 3000 FT in the altitude alerter due to this error. Upon initiating the departure we flew through the 1500 FT restriction and reached 2000 FT when we were alerted by ATC of our deviation. We immediately returned to the correct altitude for the departure and continued the flight with no further issues. Since both of us had never done the RUUDY departure procedure before; a better review of the plan view portion of the SID would have enabled us to set the correct altitude from the start. Our complacency in reading only the initial climb section of the plate caused us to make the error in selecting 3000 FT as our initial altitude.
