Narrative:
Geela RNAV approach to phx has incorrect altitude restrictions programmed for the geela waypoint. FMGC reflects a crossing restriction of 16;000 feet or above at geela. Correct altitude restriction is 16;000 feet or below. You must cross lower than 16;000 feet to make the next restriction on the STAR of 10;000 feet and 210 knots. If you descend on this RNAV arrival in a managed descent mode; the FMGC can not comply with the altitude restrictions after geela.
