Narrative:

We were cleared to depart teb runway 24 via the ruudy 3 departure. We reviewed the departure before takeoff; but for some reason neither of us noticed the 1;500 ft restriction at wentz. Both of us have flown the departure previously; but not in the past year or more.with the altitude selector set at 2;000 ft for tasca; we were climbing after takeoff and following the departure track. When we were switched to departure; we were immediately directed to return to 1;500 ft; which we did. We had reached somewhere between 1;900 ft and 2;000 ft at that time and were beginning to level off. We were also directed to review the departure procedure after reaching cruise altitude. No other traffic was observed on TCAS nor were any resolution advisories given or reported. No other aircraft were seen or reported; so there were no traffic conflicts.this is obviously a more complicated departure procedure than most and a busy time in a jet cockpit. However; the key is setting the first altitude restriction correctly; which we somehow overlooked. There needs to be a more thorough review and briefing of the departure before takeoff including the narrative portion so that intermediate altitude restrictions aren't missed.

Title: Departing TEB on the RUUDY RNAV SID; the flight crew of a Citation suffered an altitude deviation when they failed to set and comply with the 1;500 FT MSL crossing restriction at WENTZ.

Narrative: We were cleared to depart TEB Runway 24 via the RUUDY 3 departure. We reviewed the departure before takeoff; but for some reason neither of us noticed the 1;500 FT restriction at WENTZ. Both of us have flown the departure previously; but not in the past year or more.With the altitude selector set at 2;000 FT for TASCA; we were climbing after takeoff and following the departure track. When we were switched to Departure; we were immediately directed to return to 1;500 FT; which we did. We had reached somewhere between 1;900 FT and 2;000 FT at that time and were beginning to level off. We were also directed to review the departure procedure after reaching cruise altitude. No other traffic was observed on TCAS nor were any resolution advisories given or reported. No other aircraft were seen or reported; so there were no traffic conflicts.This is obviously a more complicated departure procedure than most and a busy time in a jet cockpit.
