Narrative:

Landing runway 16 nrt. At first, considered using first high speed turnoff, but during rollout decided not to use brakes until 80 KTS to allow next crew (departing in 1 hour) to have cool brakes and tires for their heavy gross weight takeoff. I then decided to take next exit from runway, but I didn't realize until reaching the taxiway that it was a reverse high speed turnoff. Since it was no problem to make a turn onto this taxiway, I took aircraft to the right of centerline to facilitate left turn onto taxiway A-7 as I simultaneously asked the PNF to request clearing onto taxiway A-7. At this time I also turned the aircraft nose approximately 20 degree left, anticipating that our request would be granted. At that time the controller said 'continue to taxiway A-8, traffic on short final.' I saw the aircraft at approximately 100 ft and I knew I couldn't get to a- 8 fast enough to get out of his way. Therefore, I pushed the power up and made a quick turn on A-7, contrary to controller's instructions. The aircraft following executed a go around. I would like to emphasize the following: 1) at no time did a controller alert us that we had an aircraft close behind us until it was too late. 2) we landed at an extremely light gross weight with a 140 KT approach speed. We were at taxi speed prior to A-7 taxiway and since we had no knowledge of the minimum separation, would not have cleared runway in time, even if we had not slowed in anticipation of exit on A-7. 3) we exited on A-7 after being told to exit on A-8 only because we feared being struck by the other aircraft.

Title: WDB DOES NOT FOLLOW TWR INSTRUCTIONS AND PROBABLY CAUSES FOLLOWING ACFT TO HAVE TO GAR.

Narrative: LNDG RWY 16 NRT. AT FIRST, CONSIDERED USING FIRST HIGH SPD TURNOFF, BUT DURING ROLLOUT DECIDED NOT TO USE BRAKES UNTIL 80 KTS TO ALLOW NEXT CREW (DEPARTING IN 1 HR) TO HAVE COOL BRAKES AND TIRES FOR THEIR HVY GROSS WT TKOF. I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE NEXT EXIT FROM RWY, BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL REACHING THE TXWY THAT IT WAS A REVERSE HIGH SPD TURNOFF. SINCE IT WAS NO PROB TO MAKE A TURN ONTO THIS TXWY, I TOOK ACFT TO THE R OF CTRLINE TO FACILITATE L TURN ONTO TXWY A-7 AS I SIMULTANEOUSLY ASKED THE PNF TO REQUEST CLRING ONTO TXWY A-7. AT THIS TIME I ALSO TURNED THE ACFT NOSE APPROX 20 DEG L, ANTICIPATING THAT OUR REQUEST WOULD BE GRANTED. AT THAT TIME THE CTLR SAID 'CONTINUE TO TXWY A-8, TFC ON SHORT FINAL.' I SAW THE ACFT AT APPROX 100 FT AND I KNEW I COULDN'T GET TO A- 8 FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF HIS WAY. THEREFORE, I PUSHED THE PWR UP AND MADE A QUICK TURN ON A-7, CONTRARY TO CTLR'S INSTRUCTIONS. THE ACFT FOLLOWING EXECUTED A GAR. I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THE FOLLOWING: 1) AT NO TIME DID A CTLR ALERT US THAT WE HAD AN ACFT CLOSE BEHIND US UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. 2) WE LANDED AT AN EXTREMELY LIGHT GROSS WT WITH A 140 KT APCH SPD. WE WERE AT TAXI SPD PRIOR TO A-7 TXWY AND SINCE WE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE MINIMUM SEPARATION, WOULD NOT HAVE CLRED RWY IN TIME, EVEN IF WE HAD NOT SLOWED IN ANTICIPATION OF EXIT ON A-7. 3) WE EXITED ON A-7 AFTER BEING TOLD TO EXIT ON A-8 ONLY BECAUSE WE FEARED BEING STRUCK BY THE OTHER ACFT.
