Narrative:

First officer (on initial first officer IOE) was flying the new korry one profile descent into lga. The published profile depicts holey 'at or above' 13000 ft. Then only 6 mi later, you are required to cross brand at 11000 ft. We were above 13000 ft at holey, and were unable to cross brand at 11000 ft. Our actual crossing altitude was 12000 ft. This is a very misleading approach, requiring a high rate of descent that was not anticipated by either myself or the first officer. I'll be aware of this next time around. A little more detailed study of this new arrival would also have helped us out. However, the fact remains that this is a poorly designed descent profile and needs further review.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN MD80 CREW, DSNDING INTO LGA, WERE UNABLE TO MAKE PUBLISHED STAR XING RESTR.

Narrative: FO (ON INITIAL FO IOE) WAS FLYING THE NEW KORRY ONE PROFILE DSCNT INTO LGA. THE PUBLISHED PROFILE DEPICTS HOLEY 'AT OR ABOVE' 13000 FT. THEN ONLY 6 MI LATER, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO CROSS BRAND AT 11000 FT. WE WERE ABOVE 13000 FT AT HOLEY, AND WERE UNABLE TO CROSS BRAND AT 11000 FT. OUR ACTUAL XING ALT WAS 12000 FT. THIS IS A VERY MISLEADING APCH, REQUIRING A HIGH RATE OF DSCNT THAT WAS NOT ANTICIPATED BY EITHER MYSELF OR THE FO. I'LL BE AWARE OF THIS NEXT TIME AROUND. A LITTLE MORE DETAILED STUDY OF THIS NEW ARR WOULD ALSO HAVE HELPED US OUT. HOWEVER, THE FACT REMAINS THAT THIS IS A POORLY DESIGNED DSCNT PROFILE AND NEEDS FURTHER REVIEW.
