During approach and landing, a Beech 1900D crew saw no traffic on taxiway M. After landing runway 35L, they exited at M6 and were told to yield to an approaching King Air, which had been cleared on the same taxiway.

Incident Description

On an unspecified date, a Beech 1900D was on approach and landing. During this phase, neither the first officer nor the captain observed any traffic on taxiway M. After landing on runway 35L, the local controller instructed the crew to exit via either high speed taxiway and to contact ground control.

Sequence of Events

Due to a long landing roll and low exit speed, the first officer elected to exit the runway on high speed turnoff M6. After crossing the hold short lines, the captain contacted ground control and was instructed to taxi via Mike, enter the ramp, Bravo November, and give way to the King Air. The captain then sighted the approaching Beech C90A (registration N91KA) and applied maximum brakes.

Context

The pilot of N91KA had been cleared to taxi from the general aviation ramp to runway 8 via taxiway M. As he passed a high speed exit, he saw the Beech 1900D out the right cockpit window and heard the ground controller tell the pilot of the Beech 1900D to yield.
