Narrative:

Over the past several months; napa (apc) tower has been issuing unattainable taxiway exit instructions to landing aircraft! Example: foxtrot for runway 18R and echo for runway 18L. Aircraft with the normal aim point to begin the flare will still possess a high speed. My concern is that a pilot; and especially a student pilot (of which there are many at apc) will attempt to comply with these instructions and enter the accident phase of flying! I have contacted apc tower on each occurrence; but they still issue these instructions.
