Narrative:

On the jaike 3 RNAV arrival into teb; we were told to cross jaike at 13;000 ft as depicted on the STAR. Left our assigned altitude of FL190; inputted direct to the 13;000 ft on the FMS and set VNAV to allow the autopilot to descend. 4 miles from jaike; we noticed we were still high (about 2;000 ft) and then increased our descent rate to make the crossing restricting. Approximately one mile later our FMS sequenced to the next waypoint ilene and then the controller asked to increase our descent rate which I acknowledge. Soon after; the controller handed us off to the next sector. Careful watch over the FMS computer would have prevented us from having to hurry up and increase our rate of descent. The computer calculations from the FMS were off and it would have had us approximately 1;000 ft high at the location of jaike if we didn't turn off VNAV and go into vs. The controller may have seen we were not going to cross at 13;000 ft and that is why they asked us to increase our rate of descent.

Title: A BD-700's Honeywell Primus 2000 FMS missed the TEB JAIKE 13;000 FT constraint as the aircraft slowed to 250 KTS and was apparently descending and slowing so as to comply with ILENE; the next 13;000 FT constraint.
