Human Factors; Procedure
Was given PUFFR4 arrival; on the initial descent was given late and had to descend rapidly. Then was told to fly as per the PUFFR4 arrival. The FMS was calling to descend to 7;800 and the chart was confusing as to the fixes and altitudes. Then was told to fly the 17L transition as we were rapidly descending. The altitude should have been 11;000 at CREEQ we were descending to 7;800 as called by the FMS. The controller told us to climb to 11;000 and go to CREEQ. I misidentified CREEQ and programed CENIK into the FMS and the aircraft turned to CENIK. There was no loss of separation.
A C525 Captain reports receiving a late clearance to descend on the PUFFR4 arrival to APA resulting in a descent below assigned altitude and a track deviation when a fix name is misunderstood.
