Narrative:

We were navigating on the radial north of huq VOR toward intersection and were given a crossing restr of 60 mi south of tiverton VOR at FL290. At the time we were given the clearance we were already about 80 mi south of tiverton. I did not realize this, however, because we were navigating off the charleston VOR and the first officer was busy with radio calls to company and copying the ATIS. By the time we got the tiverton VOR tuned in and DME responding we were already past the crossing restr. The captain was flying, and first officer on radio. We were both awakened by crew scheduling at early morning for this trip, and were both tired. We were both on a long call reserve day. This means they give you 4 hours to show for the trip. This situation was caused by a lack of positional awareness on my part, and a large contributing factor was the fact that I had only 4 hours of sleep that night and we were just completing a cle-mco-cle trip.

Title: MLG FLC MISSES XING RESTR.

Narrative: WE WERE NAVING ON THE RADIAL N OF HUQ VOR TOWARD INTXN AND WERE GIVEN A XING RESTR OF 60 MI S OF TIVERTON VOR AT FL290. AT THE TIME WE WERE GIVEN THE CLRNC WE WERE ALREADY ABOUT 80 MI S OF TIVERTON. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS, HOWEVER, BECAUSE WE WERE NAVING OFF THE CHARLESTON VOR AND THE FO WAS BUSY WITH RADIO CALLS TO COMPANY AND COPYING THE ATIS. BY THE TIME WE GOT THE TIVERTON VOR TUNED IN AND DME RESPONDING WE WERE ALREADY PAST THE XING RESTR. THE CAPT WAS FLYING, AND FO ON RADIO. WE WERE BOTH AWAKENED BY CREW SCHEDULING AT EARLY MORNING FOR THIS TRIP, AND WERE BOTH TIRED. WE WERE BOTH ON A LONG CALL RESERVE DAY. THIS MEANS THEY GIVE YOU 4 HRS TO SHOW FOR THE TRIP. THIS SIT WAS CAUSED BY A LACK OF POSITIONAL AWARENESS ON MY PART, AND A LARGE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR WAS THE FACT THAT I HAD ONLY 4 HRS OF SLEEP THAT NIGHT AND WE WERE JUST COMPLETING A CLE-MCO-CLE TRIP.
