Human Factors
On climbout with an assigned altitude of 4000 FT the flying pilot (Captain) did not follow his command bars and allowed the aircraft to accelerate to 270 KTS. This appeared to be an automation and workload management issue. As I announced this deviation he was slow to correct which allowed the airspeed to achieve a maximum of 270 KTS betweent 3500-3800 FT. Shortly after this correction we were given a climb to 5000 FT. All normal altitude SOPS were followed but as we approached 4500 FT I could see that the flying pilot was again deviating now above the pitch bar and was not appearing to level. I made one verbal attempt to correct the condition with no results. I then; as pilot monitoring; pitched the aircraft over in order to minimize the altitude deviation. We achieved a maximum deviation of 180 FT. As I leveled I the aircraft at 5000 FT I gave full control back to the flying pilot. There were no conflicts or comments from ATC. At cruise altitude we performed a full debrief to include possible causes and remedies.
After dept on 360 heading; [we] entered clouds. As I approached my cleared altitude of 4000 FT'; I accelerated to 250 KTS. I was hand flying; attempting to slow the climb rate; and with the pilot monitoring on radio I ignored the flight director and got 20 KTS fast. Pilot monitoring pointed out the excess speed and we were given a climb to 5000 FT with a turn and a traffic report at 6000 FT. During the correction to airspeed I overshot my altitude by 180 FT leveling at 5180 FT. I was dealing with speed correction; turn; and level off without flight director guidance because of earlier deviation and thinking of the 6000 FT (as my clearded altitude vs. the traffic's altitude) when Pilot monitoring helped spot/correct Altitude deviation.
A320 Flight Crew reports altitude and speed deviations during departure with the Captain hand flying and not precisely following the flight director commands.
