Narrative:

Descending into cleveland, we were cleared to cross cxy at 10000 ft. Headwinds had been strong this trip. Aircraft had no wind or ground speed readouts. We started a late, slow descent. We began discussing something in our manuals, and when we looked up to check the descent we were only 12 mi from cxy at 18000 ft. We deployed speed brakes and crossed lxr about 500-800 ft high descending about 3000 FPM. We leveled off just beyond cxr, about 3 mi. We became preoccupied with our discussion and were not monitoring the descent closely enough, that was our fault. However, these days ATC is using crossing restrs constantly as procedure rather than sits that necessitate a restr. Our workloads are increasing more and more and create a situation where we're having to do 2 things at once, monitor the restr and complete checklists, briefings, etc. Our restr was probably a 'gate' restr between center and cleveland approach. There was no conflicting traffic according to TCASII.

Title: MISSED XING RESTR.

Narrative: DSNDING INTO CLEVELAND, WE WERE CLRED TO CROSS CXY AT 10000 FT. HEADWINDS HAD BEEN STRONG THIS TRIP. ACFT HAD NO WIND OR GND SPD READOUTS. WE STARTED A LATE, SLOW DSCNT. WE BEGAN DISCUSSING SOMETHING IN OUR MANUALS, AND WHEN WE LOOKED UP TO CHK THE DSCNT WE WERE ONLY 12 MI FROM CXY AT 18000 FT. WE DEPLOYED SPD BRAKES AND CROSSED LXR ABOUT 500-800 FT HIGH DSNDING ABOUT 3000 FPM. WE LEVELED OFF JUST BEYOND CXR, ABOUT 3 MI. WE BECAME PREOCCUPIED WITH OUR DISCUSSION AND WERE NOT MONITORING THE DSCNT CLOSELY ENOUGH, THAT WAS OUR FAULT. HOWEVER, THESE DAYS ATC IS USING XING RESTRS CONSTANTLY AS PROC RATHER THAN SITS THAT NECESSITATE A RESTR. OUR WORKLOADS ARE INCREASING MORE AND MORE AND CREATE A SIT WHERE WE'RE HAVING TO DO 2 THINGS AT ONCE, MONITOR THE RESTR AND COMPLETE CHKLISTS, BRIEFINGS, ETC. OUR RESTR WAS PROBABLY A 'GATE' RESTR BTWN CTR AND CLEVELAND APCH. THERE WAS NO CONFLICTING TFC ACCORDING TO TCASII.
