Narrative:
Initial altitude was 1;500 ft. Aircraft climbed to 2;000 ft before being brought back to 1;500 ft and rejoining the departure. Pilot failed to properly understand SID and set proper altitude due to not following published procedure. Cockpit procedures were not followed as copilot failed to acknowledge proper altitude and did not call out prior to reaching assigned altitude. Factors causing incident included crew fatigue due to long delay departing earlier in the evening.
