I had filed the flight plan earlier and listed myself as PIC; but after landing in TEB the SIC; who is also rated and current in the aircraft; wanted to fly this leg back to our home base. After takeoff from Runway 24 the PIC climbed to 1;500 FT on way to WENTZ Intersection. After crossing WENTZ the SID required crossing TASCO at 2;000 FT. I saw on the FMS that we had passed WENTZ; but did not know of our position in relation to WENTZ; and said that we could climb to 2;000 FT. While communicating with Departure we were told that we had missed WENTZ by two miles and that we should turn to a heading of 300 degrees. I instructed the PIC to turn to 300 degrees and maintain 1;500 FT. We had climbed to 2;000 FT and were holding altitude waiting for further climb instructions upon learning of the missed intersection and instructed that we should be at 1;500 FT; we descended to 1;500 FT at the direction of Departure Control. It seemed that this problem arose from a loss of situational awareness on the part of the PIC and the work load at that time by SIC (myself) and the PIC. Having flown this SID before; I am at a loss as to just why it went the way it did. The PIC and I discussed the SID and what could have been improved during the execution of the SID. I believe taking time to fully understand what each of us are [expected] to do will go a long way in preventing this in the future.
A Corporate flight crew departed on the TEB RUUDY 4 departure and believing they crossed WENTZ climbed to 2;000 FT but ATC gave them a vector with a descent to 1;500 FT because they missed WENTZ by two miles.
