Narrative:
Request by msp to descend from 9000 ft to 4000 ft within 10 DME northeast of mkt VOR -- at that time I was 11 NM DME southwest of mkt. By time I was at 4000 ft I was 15 NM DME northeast of mkt VOR. It was impossible to descend any faster taking into account conditions of passenger comfort, and distance plus a very hot day.

Title: ALTDEV ALT XING RESTR -- ATX PLT DSNDS TOO SLOWLY TO MAKE A XING RESTR.
Narrative: REQUEST BY MSP TO DSND FROM 9000 FT TO 4000 FT WITHIN 10 DME NE OF MKT VOR -- AT THAT TIME I WAS 11 NM DME SW OF MKT. BY TIME I WAS AT 4000 FT I WAS 15 NM DME NE OF MKT VOR. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DSND ANY FASTER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT CONDITIONS OF PAX COMFORT, AND DISTANCE PLUS A VERY HOT DAY.
