Narrative:
We were given clearance to cross beuty intersection at 10000 ft (when we were over allentown). Due to the complexity of this arrival, we did not meet our crossing restr at beuty. When we realized we were not going to make beuty, we increased our rate of descent. I feel the arrival needs to be changed. The 8 mi jag between lizzi and beuty is not necessary.

Narrative: WE WERE GIVEN CLRNC TO CROSS BEUTY INTXN AT 10000 FT (WHEN WE WERE OVER ALLENTOWN). DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS ARR, WE DID NOT MEET OUR XING RESTR AT BEUTY. WHEN WE REALIZED WE WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE BEUTY, WE INCREASED OUR RATE OF DSCNT. I FEEL THE ARR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THE 8 MI JAG BTWN LIZZI AND BEUTY IS NOT NECESSARY.
