Narrative:

In sharp contrast to the excellent service received yesterday, during a very heavy WX session at dfw coming in today on the bowie arrival from the northwest, with clear skies and gusty nnw winds, the dfw east tower controller made several important errors as regards our handling. We were turned on a left base for runway 35C, high, and close in. Turbulence and gusty winds were present from approximately 4500 ft MSL to the surface. I (PF) began slowing early so that we could get down in time and stabilize the approach on a normal descent path. Approach asked us to maintain 190 KTS as we turned a visual final outside the OM and high. The tower then cleared us to land and hold short of taxiway ej, which the first officer (PNF) acknowledged but declined the hold short, to which we received 'no reply' still descending rapidly to get to the GS and slowing to approach speed. 1/2 way in from the OM, we asked for confirmation of landing clearance and negative hold short, and after a delay, she said something to the effect that she had previously cleared us to land, and said it again -- again with the hold short -- to which we again (for the third time) restated 'unable hold short.' she then denied hearing the negative hold short reply, and launched into a quibbling match about this, as we flew towards the runway at about 140 KTS. Finally, we got her to repeat it, and we landed in the gusty winds. While still on the runway and decelerating through about 90 KTS, the controller launched into a string of taxi instructions, preceded by 'company S80 traffic 1/4 mi final, expedite to the next high speed' etc -- we did not, nor is it safe to do so, acknowledge this transmission at our high speed attempting to complete our landing at high speed on the runway, and we then exited on that high speed taxiway. Taxi instructions should never be given when a transport jet aircraft is at high speed on the runway.

Title: A LCL CTLR AT DFW ISSUED A LNDG CLRNC TO ACR X THAT INCLUDED A LAHSO CLRNC.

Narrative: IN SHARP CONTRAST TO THE EXCELLENT SVC RECEIVED YESTERDAY, DURING A VERY HVY WX SESSION AT DFW COMING IN TODAY ON THE BOWIE ARR FROM THE NW, WITH CLR SKIES AND GUSTY NNW WINDS, THE DFW E TWR CTLR MADE SEVERAL IMPORTANT ERRORS AS REGARDS OUR HANDLING. WE WERE TURNED ON A L BASE FOR RWY 35C, HIGH, AND CLOSE IN. TURB AND GUSTY WINDS WERE PRESENT FROM APPROX 4500 FT MSL TO THE SURFACE. I (PF) BEGAN SLOWING EARLY SO THAT WE COULD GET DOWN IN TIME AND STABILIZE THE APCH ON A NORMAL DSCNT PATH. APCH ASKED US TO MAINTAIN 190 KTS AS WE TURNED A VISUAL FINAL OUTSIDE THE OM AND HIGH. THE TWR THEN CLRED US TO LAND AND HOLD SHORT OF TXWY EJ, WHICH THE FO (PNF) ACKNOWLEDGED BUT DECLINED THE HOLD SHORT, TO WHICH WE RECEIVED 'NO REPLY' STILL DSNDING RAPIDLY TO GET TO THE GS AND SLOWING TO APCH SPD. 1/2 WAY IN FROM THE OM, WE ASKED FOR CONFIRMATION OF LNDG CLRNC AND NEGATIVE HOLD SHORT, AND AFTER A DELAY, SHE SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT SHE HAD PREVIOUSLY CLRED US TO LAND, AND SAID IT AGAIN -- AGAIN WITH THE HOLD SHORT -- TO WHICH WE AGAIN (FOR THE THIRD TIME) RESTATED 'UNABLE HOLD SHORT.' SHE THEN DENIED HEARING THE NEGATIVE HOLD SHORT REPLY, AND LAUNCHED INTO A QUIBBLING MATCH ABOUT THIS, AS WE FLEW TOWARDS THE RWY AT ABOUT 140 KTS. FINALLY, WE GOT HER TO REPEAT IT, AND WE LANDED IN THE GUSTY WINDS. WHILE STILL ON THE RWY AND DECELERATING THROUGH ABOUT 90 KTS, THE CTLR LAUNCHED INTO A STRING OF TAXI INSTRUCTIONS, PRECEDED BY 'COMPANY S80 TFC 1/4 MI FINAL, EXPEDITE TO THE NEXT HIGH SPD' ETC -- WE DID NOT, NOR IS IT SAFE TO DO SO, ACKNOWLEDGE THIS XMISSION AT OUR HIGH SPD ATTEMPTING TO COMPLETE OUR LNDG AT HIGH SPD ON THE RWY, AND WE THEN EXITED ON THAT HIGH SPD TXWY. TAXI INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN WHEN A TRANSPORT JET ACFT IS AT HIGH SPD ON THE RWY.
