Narrative:

The flight was from ZZZ to teb; with a total expected flight time of 1 hour and 30 mins. We were given the JAIKE2 arrival into the teb area. We programmed this arrival and crossing altitudes into the FMS and double-checked the fixes and altitudes with the STAR. ZDC gave us the first crossing restr of FL240 at peeds and we expected our next stepdown would be to cross ilene at 13000 ft. We had previously programmed this into the FMS flight plan and were expecting to cross ilene at 13000 ft. The first officer and I then began planning for our approach into teb by getting the airport WX; briefing the approach; and loading this ILS runway 19 into the FMS. Shortly thereafter; ZDC gave us the crossing restr of 13000 ft at jaike. The first officer set the altitude and I confirmed seeing that altitude set. I then selected the VNAV mode so the autoplt would control our descent profile. As we started our descent out of FL240 I was in the process of checking for and removing ice which was building on the wings as we were moving through some thin icing layers. I quickly looked down to confirm the new crossing altitude was programmed into the FMS and saw 13000 ft and that our next fix was jaike. We were out of those icing conditions somewhere between 16000-18000 ft so I then proceeded in turning off the necessary anti-ice switches. What we did not realize was the VNAV was still programmed to cross ilene at 13000 ft and not jaike. This caused us to be 1000 ft above jaike when we crossed that fix. At no time did washington ask if we were going to make our crossing restr; nor did they tell us that we missed the crossing altitude. We then continued the flight without incident. We discovered our mistake after ZDC handed us off to phl's control about 20 mi after jaike. We checked in with phl and they asked us if ZDC gave us a crossing restr at jaike. We replied yes; and realized that we made the mistake in programming the FMS. Improper programming of the FMS due to crew workload and icing conditions was the true cause of the problem. This could have been caught and corrected by carefully xchking every input the other crewmember makes to the FMS.

Title: A FMC EQUIPPED CORPORATE JET CREW ON THE TEB JAIKE2 ARRIVAL MISSED THE JAIKE INTERSECTION CROSSING CONSTRAINT OF 13000 FT BECAUSE THEY PROGRAMMED ILENE FOR 13000 FT.

Narrative: THE FLT WAS FROM ZZZ TO TEB; WITH A TOTAL EXPECTED FLT TIME OF 1 HR AND 30 MINS. WE WERE GIVEN THE JAIKE2 ARR INTO THE TEB AREA. WE PROGRAMMED THIS ARR AND XING ALTS INTO THE FMS AND DOUBLE-CHKED THE FIXES AND ALTS WITH THE STAR. ZDC GAVE US THE FIRST XING RESTR OF FL240 AT PEEDS AND WE EXPECTED OUR NEXT STEPDOWN WOULD BE TO CROSS ILENE AT 13000 FT. WE HAD PREVIOUSLY PROGRAMMED THIS INTO THE FMS FLT PLAN AND WERE EXPECTING TO CROSS ILENE AT 13000 FT. THE FO AND I THEN BEGAN PLANNING FOR OUR APCH INTO TEB BY GETTING THE ARPT WX; BRIEFING THE APCH; AND LOADING THIS ILS RWY 19 INTO THE FMS. SHORTLY THEREAFTER; ZDC GAVE US THE XING RESTR OF 13000 FT AT JAIKE. THE FO SET THE ALT AND I CONFIRMED SEEING THAT ALT SET. I THEN SELECTED THE VNAV MODE SO THE AUTOPLT WOULD CTL OUR DSCNT PROFILE. AS WE STARTED OUR DSCNT OUT OF FL240 I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHKING FOR AND REMOVING ICE WHICH WAS BUILDING ON THE WINGS AS WE WERE MOVING THROUGH SOME THIN ICING LAYERS. I QUICKLY LOOKED DOWN TO CONFIRM THE NEW XING ALT WAS PROGRAMMED INTO THE FMS AND SAW 13000 FT AND THAT OUR NEXT FIX WAS JAIKE. WE WERE OUT OF THOSE ICING CONDITIONS SOMEWHERE BTWN 16000-18000 FT SO I THEN PROCEEDED IN TURNING OFF THE NECESSARY ANTI-ICE SWITCHES. WHAT WE DID NOT REALIZE WAS THE VNAV WAS STILL PROGRAMMED TO CROSS ILENE AT 13000 FT AND NOT JAIKE. THIS CAUSED US TO BE 1000 FT ABOVE JAIKE WHEN WE CROSSED THAT FIX. AT NO TIME DID WASHINGTON ASK IF WE WERE GOING TO MAKE OUR XING RESTR; NOR DID THEY TELL US THAT WE MISSED THE XING ALT. WE THEN CONTINUED THE FLT WITHOUT INCIDENT. WE DISCOVERED OUR MISTAKE AFTER ZDC HANDED US OFF TO PHL'S CTL ABOUT 20 MI AFTER JAIKE. WE CHKED IN WITH PHL AND THEY ASKED US IF ZDC GAVE US A XING RESTR AT JAIKE. WE REPLIED YES; AND REALIZED THAT WE MADE THE MISTAKE IN PROGRAMMING THE FMS. IMPROPER PROGRAMMING OF THE FMS DUE TO CREW WORKLOAD AND ICING CONDITIONS WAS THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE PROB. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT AND CORRECTED BY CAREFULLY XCHKING EVERY INPUT THE OTHER CREWMEMBER MAKES TO THE FMS.
