COMMUTER FLC HAS ALTDEV.

Narrative

TOOK OFF LMT VFR AND PICKED UP CLRNC (IFR) TO RDD; ASKED FOR 13000 FT AND FOR A HDG FOR DIRECT RDD. CLRNC WAS GIVEN AS REQUESTED. AFTER PERFORMING THE AFTER TKOF AND CRUISE CHKLIST (AFTER 10000 FT) I; AS PNF PULLED OUT A MAGAZINE TO LOOK THROUGH. I MENTIONED AN ARTICLE IN THE MAGAZINE. WE WERE BOTH DISCUSSING THE ARTICLE WHEN THE CAPT NOTICED WE HAD REACHED AN ALT OF 13700 FT WHEN CTR QUERIED WHETHER WE WANTED 14000 FT AS A FINAL. HE STATED NO AND PROCEEDED BACK TO 13000 FT. I BELIEVE MY COMPLACENCY OF (KICKING BACK) BEFORE REACHING CRUISE ALT AND INATTN BY BOTH OF US CONTRIBUTED TO THE ALT BUST. ALSO; LACK OF ACFT STANDARDIZATION; SINCE THIS PLANE WE WERE FLYING IS ONE OF ONLY A COUPLE IN THE FLEET THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN ALT ALERTER INSTALLED; ALSO PLAYED A PART. NO CONFLICT WAS RPTED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 270850: THERE WERE A NUMBER OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CONSPIRED TO ALLOW ME TO MAKE THIS ERROR! 1) WE HAD AN EARLY SHOW AND I HAVE NOT BEEN SLEEPING VERY WELL. THIS WAS THE LAST LEG OF THE DAY AND MY MIND WAS WANDERING. 2) THE FO DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE ALT CALLOUTS. IN FACT; HE IS QUITE SLOPPY ABOUT THIS AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED IT.
