CAPT OF A DC10 OVERSHOT ALT DURING SID DEP AND ALSO WAS SLOW IN TURNING ON HEADING DUE TO MISSETTING THE AUTOPLT MODE FOR ALT CAPTURE AND HEADING CTL.

Narrative

NORMAL TKOF AND INITIAL CLBOUT HEADING 050 DEGS CLB INITIAL TO 10000 FT OUT OF 8000 FT CLRNC TO 13000 FT TURN R TO 180 DEGS. I REACHED TO TURN ON THE AUTOPLT AND FUMBLED WITH THE SWITCH. EVIDENTLY; NOT ENGAGING IT I PULLED THE ALT KNOB AND COULD HAVE SWORN I SAW AMBER ARM ON FMA. STARTED THE R TURN CLBED THROUGH 10000 FT STARED TO ACCELERATE AND FO RECEIVED CLRNC DIRECT TO INTXN ON GENEVA 2 DEP. I ACCIDENTALLY REVERSED (I THINK -- NOT SURE) SELECTING NAV THEN SWITCHED TO INS. REALLY; NOT SURE. THE FO SUBSEQUENTLY SAID 'YOU'RE NOT TURNING.' I RECHKED FMA AND INS NAV NOT LIT. WENT TO RE-SELECT INS AND NAV AND SO SAID ALT 13000 FT. I WAS CLBING THROUGH IT. I ROLLED THE NOSE DOWN AND STOPPED CLB. INADVERTENTLY; DISCONNECTED AUTOPLT THEN RE-SELECTED AUTOPLT AND PULLED ALT BUTTON BUT ACFT WAS IN SLIGHT CLB AND THE NEXT THING I DID WAS TO RE-SELECT INS/NAV. IN SECONDS THE ACFT I THOUGHT WAS LEVEL AT 13000 FT HAD SLIGHTLY ASCENDED THROUGH 13400 FT. THE ACFT WAS THEN RE-DSNDED TO 13200 FT FOR 13000 FT WHEN CTLR CLRED US TO FL210. END OF INCIDENT.
