AN ACR LGT MISSED ITS XING RESTR ON DSCNT.

Narrative

WE WERE ON THE MIDDY ARR TO MEM; GIVEN A CLRNC TO CROSS MIDDY AT 10000 FT MSL AND 250 KTS BY ZME. I STARTED MY DSCNT FROM 24000 FT COMPUTING A PROFILE WHICH WOULD GET ME THERE WITH PLENTY OF DISTANCE TO SPARE. AS WE WERE SWITCHED TO APCH CTL AT ABOUT 37 DME OUT; I NOTICED THE GROSS ERROR I HAD MADE. I HAD COMPUTED MY PROFILE TO THE VOR; NOT MIDDY (30 DME) AND WAS 5000-6000 FT HIGH. I IMMEDIATELY INCREASED MY DSCNT RATE TO THE MAX AND REQUESTED MY COPLT TO ASK FOR RELIEF ON THE RESTR. THE FREQ WAS SO CONGESTED WE COULD NOT CHK IN UNTIL ABOUT 6-8 MI PAST THE FIX WHEN I LEVELED OFF. THE CTLR WAS CANCELING THE RESTR FOR OTHER ACFT BEHIND US. NOTHING WAS EVER MENTIONED ABOUT THE MISSED RESTR BY US OR THE CTLR. MY ARR PLATE WAS CLIPPED ON THE YOKE IN FRONT OF ME AND THE COPLT HAD HIS OUT. THE OTHER 2 CREW MEMBERS NEVER CAUGHT MY ERROR! I CALLED MEM APCH CTL AND TALKED TO THE CTLR AND TOLD HIM I WAS HIGH LOOKING FOR RELIEF; BUT COULDN'T GET ON THE FREQ DUE TO CONGESTION. HE SAID THERE WAS NO PROB NOTED ON MY FLT INBOUND. NEEDLESS TO SAY; I TALKED TO MY CREW ABOUT BACKING EACH OTHER UP IN THESE AND ALL SITS.
