Narrative:

We conducted a flight from san juan, pr (tjsj) to st vincent (tvsv) on an ATR42. As we approached the airport in VMC conditions, we were cleared to land and for a visual approach. At the same time, a BN2 reported inbound from the south and was cleared to land #2 to follow us. Once we landed and as we turned to clear the runway we saw the islander (BN2) finishing the landing roll and also clearing the runway via the first intersection as we were on the second (there are only 2 exiting intxns in tvsv). The controller never warned us nor did he call for the BN2 to go around. Another factor was the controller's confusion in clearing us from the runway as he instructed us to clear the runway via the first intersection but meaning the second (see aim). We exited the runway via the second intersection while the islander exited the first at the same time. I believe the pilot should have had better situational awareness, but there is simply no reason to justify the fact that he landed with us still on the runway.

Title: AT42 PIC CONCERNED THAT TVSV CTLR SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A GAR TO LNDG BN2 WHEN OBSERVING THE BN2 EXIT RWY AS AT42 FLC EXITED RWY.

Narrative: WE CONDUCTED A FLT FROM SAN JUAN, PR (TJSJ) TO ST VINCENT (TVSV) ON AN ATR42. AS WE APCHED THE ARPT IN VMC CONDITIONS, WE WERE CLRED TO LAND AND FOR A VISUAL APCH. AT THE SAME TIME, A BN2 RPTED INBOUND FROM THE S AND WAS CLRED TO LAND #2 TO FOLLOW US. ONCE WE LANDED AND AS WE TURNED TO CLR THE RWY WE SAW THE ISLANDER (BN2) FINISHING THE LNDG ROLL AND ALSO CLRING THE RWY VIA THE FIRST INTXN AS WE WERE ON THE SECOND (THERE ARE ONLY 2 EXITING INTXNS IN TVSV). THE CTLR NEVER WARNED US NOR DID HE CALL FOR THE BN2 TO GO AROUND. ANOTHER FACTOR WAS THE CTLR'S CONFUSION IN CLRING US FROM THE RWY AS HE INSTRUCTED US TO CLR THE RWY VIA THE FIRST INTXN BUT MEANING THE SECOND (SEE AIM). WE EXITED THE RWY VIA THE SECOND INTXN WHILE THE ISLANDER EXITED THE FIRST AT THE SAME TIME. I BELIEVE THE PLT SHOULD HAVE HAD BETTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, BUT THERE IS SIMPLY NO REASON TO JUSTIFY THE FACT THAT HE LANDED WITH US STILL ON THE RWY.
