Narrative:
We were cleared for the ILS runway 35L at efd and failed to meet the hard altitude of 2100 ft at marzy; the FAF. The controller vectored us for the approach such that the glideslope was below us by the time the autopilot captured the localizer. With the appr mode armed; the glideslope will not capture from above; and other vertical modes of the autopilot are locked out with extensive re-configuration. The co-pilot; pilot flying; ultimately disconnected the autopilot and hand flew the remainder of the approach; but it was too late to make 2100 ft at marzy. We crossed the fix at 2800 ft. Aside from ATC's vector way too close to the FAF; I was training two crew members who are brand new to the upgraded avionics and displays on this aircraft; not to mention that I'm a brand new aircraft commander (captain) myself. Also; it was late at night after a long crew duty day and we were tired.

Title: C5 Training Captain reports missing crossing restriction at MARZY during ILS RWY35 approach to EFD after late turn in by Approach.
Narrative: We were cleared for the ILS Runway 35L at EFD and failed to meet the hard altitude of 2100 FT at MARZY; the FAF. The Controller vectored us for the approach such that the glideslope was below us by the time the autopilot captured the localizer. With the APPR mode armed; the glideslope will not capture from above; and other vertical modes of the autopilot are locked out with extensive re-configuration. The co-pilot; pilot flying; ultimately disconnected the autopilot and hand flew the remainder of the approach; but it was too late to make 2100 FT at MARZY. We crossed the fix at 2800 FT. Aside from ATC's vector way too close to the FAF; I was training two crew members who are brand new to the upgraded avionics and displays on this aircraft; not to mention that I'm a brand new aircraft commander (Captain) myself. Also; it was late at night after a long crew duty day and we were tired.
