Narrative:

Enroute from pie to rsw we were vectored to intercept sarasota 3 arrival (srq.SRQ3) and cleared to cross wouds intersection at 11000 ft and subsequently handed off to miami center. With cockpit workload on the short leg busy with checklists, ATIS, vectors, etc, a quick glance at the commercial arrival chart led me to misinterpret the DME to wouds as 64 DME (which is off pie) and miss the crossing restriction. In the interest of safety, the commercial plate needs cleanup to avoid a misread error.

Title: DC9 CREW DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE XING RESTRICTION AT WOUDS ON THE SARASOTA 3 STAR INTO SRQ.

Narrative: ENROUTE FROM PIE TO RSW WE WERE VECTORED TO INTERCEPT SARASOTA 3 ARR (SRQ.SRQ3) AND CLRED TO CROSS WOUDS INTXN AT 11000 FT AND SUBSEQUENTLY HANDED OFF TO MIAMI CTR. WITH COCKPIT WORKLOAD ON THE SHORT LEG BUSY WITH CHECKLISTS, ATIS, VECTORS, ETC, A QUICK GLANCE AT THE COMMERCIAL ARR CHART LED ME TO MISINTERPRET THE DME TO WOUDS AS 64 DME (WHICH IS OFF PIE) AND MISS THE XING RESTRICTION. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, THE COMMERCIAL PLATE NEEDS CLEANUP TO AVOID A MISREAD ERROR.
