Narrative:

During arrival into dfw, we crossed the rome fix at 10000 ft MSL instead of at 9000 ft MSL as assigned by dfw approach. Deviation was caused by a late initiation of descent from last assigned altitude of FL240, and subsequent late use of speed brakes to increase descent rate. We advised approach control of our inability to meet the altitude restr approximately 8 mi prior to rome.

Narrative: DURING ARR INTO DFW, WE CROSSED THE ROME FIX AT 10000 FT MSL INSTEAD OF AT 9000 FT MSL AS ASSIGNED BY DFW APCH. DEV WAS CAUSED BY A LATE INITIATION OF DSCNT FROM LAST ASSIGNED ALT OF FL240, AND SUBSEQUENT LATE USE OF SPD BRAKES TO INCREASE DSCNT RATE. WE ADVISED APCH CTL OF OUR INABILITY TO MEET THE ALT RESTR APPROX 8 MI PRIOR TO ROME.
