EMB120 DOES NOT MEET ALT XING RESTR DSNDING INTO MCO.

Narrative

ON THE MINEE 3 ARR INTO MCO; WE HAD BEGUN A DSCNT FROM FL200 TO 16000 FT. THE CAPT WAS INVOLVED IN A LENGTHY DISCUSSION ABOUT FISHING AND HE WAS THE PLT FLYING. WE WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO CROSS MOANS AT 10000 FT (83 DME 030 DEG RADIAL). I ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AND AS WE PASSED THROUGH 15000 FT. I NOTICED THAT OUR DSCNT RATE (ABOUT 1700 FPM) WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO MEET THE XING. I SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN UP IMMEDIATELY BUT I WAS HOPING THE CAPT WOULD NOTICE IN THE NEXT 30 SECONDS. HE DID; AND BY THE TIME HE CORRECTED THE DSCNT RATE WE CROSSED MOANS AT ABOUT 11000 FT (OR ABOUT 2-3 MI PAST MOANS AT 10000 FT). THE CTLR SAID 'VERIFY 10000 FT' AS WE WERE LEVELING AND I ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AND IN A NORMAL TONE OF VOICE HE TURNED US OVER TO APCH CTL. THERE WAS NO OTHER MODE C TFC IN THE AREA. I FELT THAT MY HESITATION TO SPEAK UP WAS A PROB THAT WAS COMPOUNDED BY A CAPT WHO HAD TO BE CORRECTED QUITE A BIT. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A NAG. ALSO; 3 DAYS OF XA00-XA30 MORNING RPT TIMES HAD WORN ME DOWN A BIT AS WELL. NEXT TIME; I WILL BE MORE AWARE OF MY OWN PHYSICAL FATIGUE AND MENTAL ASSERTIVENESS WHEN I'M ON ANY TRIP. EVEN THOUGH I HAD REASONABLE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IT MEANT NOTHING WITHOUT A WILLINGNESS TO SPEAK UP.
