CAPT OF A CANADAIR; CL65; WHILE TURNING OFF THE RWY ON WHICH THEY HAD JUST LANDED; A B737 ALSO TURNING OFF THE SAME RWY BEHIND THEM.

Narrative

OUR FLT WAS BEING VECTORED FOR THE ILS RWY 23 WHEN WE SPOTTED THE ARPT AND WERE CLRED FOR THE VISUAL TO RWY 23. THE WIND WAS GUSTING DOWN THE RWY TO 18 KTS; SO WE ADDED 10 KTS TO REF AS PER OUR COMPANY PROC. THIS MADE FOR A LONG ROLLOUT. AS WE WERE PASSING TXWY G; WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO TURN AT TXWY G ALONG WITH TAXI INSTRUCTIONS AS THE TWR AND GND CTLRS WERE ONE. DUE TO FREQ CONGESTION; WE WERE UNABLE TO READ BACK THE INSTRUCTIONS NOR ABLE TO ADVISE OF MISSING TXWY G. UNABLE TO MAKE TXWY H WITHOUT A SHORT 180 DEG TURNAROUND; AND UNABLE TO CONTACT TWR; WE PROCEEDED DOWN TO THE END OF THE RWY. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO ASK TWR IF WE COULD MAKE A L TURN ON TXWY A AND WERE CLRED TO DO SO. TXWY A TURNS TO BECOME THE PARALLEL TXWY. WHILE TURNING ON TXWY A TO PARALLEL THE RWY; WE NOTICED AN ACR Y B737 CLRING THE RWY AT TXWY G. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE ACR Y JET LANDED BEFORE WE CLRED THE RWY. THE TWR CTLR WAS UNSURE OF OUR POS AS THEY THOUGHT WE HAD CLRED THE RWY ONTO TXWY G AND WE HAD THEN TURNED L ONTO TXWY A. TWR THOUGHT WE HAD TAXIED TO THE DEP END OF RWY 23. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS AND HIGH REF NUMBER CAUSING EXCESSIVE ROLLOUT. 2) BRIGHT LIGHTS AT THE END OF RWY 23 ON A NEW RAMP AREA CAUSING BLIND SPOTS ON THE RWY AND TXWY W END. AMBIGUOUS MARKING OF TXWY A LEADING TO COM BREAKDOWN. FREQ CONGESTION CAUSED BY TWR WORKING MULTIPLE POS. COMPLACENCY BY LONG TIME CTLR THINKING THAT MOST ACFT EXIT AT TXWY G. NUMEROUS FACTORS CAME TOGETHER TO CAUSE A SIT THAT COULD HAVE LED TO A RWY COLLISION.
