Airspace Structure; Procedure
During our climb out of IAH on the STYCK 6 departure our cockpit jumpseater said that we overflew a black quad copter drone. Our altitude was about five thousand feet and climbing; and we estimated that the drone altitude was about 3500-4000 feet. We reported this to ATC and continued on to our destination.
Air Carrier Captain reported sighting a quadcopter drone at approximately 4000 feet while flying the STYCK6 departure out of IAH.
