Narrative:
I was cleared to land, on runway 36R. We anticipated touching down 1/2 of the way, down the runway. The tower apparently, thought that we would touchdown within the 1000 ft touchdown zone. The biplane's touchdown speed of about 35 KTS, also, probably caused us to remain on the runway longer than anticipated by the tower. A commercial jet on approach was then, directed to go around. After slowing to turning speed, on the runway, we executed a 270 degree turn, rather than spend the extra time taxiing to the next exit. The tower, then cleared us to exit at that turnoff. Although the tower was very busy, we and ATC, should have communicated earlier, regarding the touchdown point.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN EXPERIENCED PLT LANDED PAST THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE, AND DESIRED TXWY, THEN, TURNED 270 DEGS TO EXIT THE RWY.
Narrative: I WAS CLRED TO LAND, ON RWY 36R. WE ANTICIPATED TOUCHING DOWN 1/2 OF THE WAY, DOWN THE RWY. THE TWR APPARENTLY, THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD TOUCHDOWN WITHIN THE 1000 FT TOUCHDOWN ZONE. THE BIPLANE'S TOUCHDOWN SPD OF ABOUT 35 KTS, ALSO, PROBABLY CAUSED US TO REMAIN ON THE RWY LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED BY THE TWR. A COMMERCIAL JET ON APCH WAS THEN, DIRECTED TO GAR. AFTER SLOWING TO TURNING SPD, ON THE RWY, WE EXECUTED A 270 DEG TURN, RATHER THAN SPEND THE EXTRA TIME TAXIING TO THE NEXT EXIT. THE TWR, THEN CLRED US TO EXIT AT THAT TURNOFF. ALTHOUGH THE TWR WAS VERY BUSY, WE AND ATC, SHOULD HAVE COMMUNICATED EARLIER, REGARDING THE TOUCHDOWN POINT.
