EMB145 ACCEPTS CLRNC TO EXIT RWY 18R AT TXWY KILO PRESUMING IT WAS FURTHER DOWN THE RWY. FLC MISSED TXWY KILO EXIT. TKOF CLRNC FOR B737 CANCELLED.

Narrative

DURING OUR LNDG ROLLOUT ON RWY 18R IN CVG; WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO TURN L ON KILO WHICH WE WERE JUST PASSING AND COULD NOT MAKE. BOTH THE FO AND I BELIEVED KILO TO BE FURTHER DOWN THE RWY. WE ACCEPTED THE CLRNC AND THE TWR GAVE ANOTHER ACFT TKOF CLRNC ON RWY 27; WHICH CROSSES RWY 18R JUST S OF KILO IN FRONT OF US. WE REALIZED OUR MISTAKE WHILE CROSSING RWY 27 AND WERE ISSUED NEW TAXI INSTRUCTIONS WHILE THE OTHER ACFT WAS GIVEN A CANCELLATION OF THEIR TKOF CLRNC. WE CALLED THE TWR TO DISCUSS OUR ACTIONS; AND TOLD HIM WHAT WE BELIEVED WENT WRONG. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INCLUDED: NO MENTION OF LAHSO PROCS ON THE ARR ATIS. NO MENTION OF SIMULTANEOUS OPS ON INTERSECTING RWYS ON THE ATIS. WET RWY. CONSIDERABLE TAILWIND AT TOUCHDOWN THAT WAS NOT RPTED ON THE ATIS WHICH WAS 1 HOUR OLD. I BELIEVE THE CTLR SHOULD HAVE ASKED US IF WE COULD MAKE KILO; WHICH WOULD HAVE AT LEAST PROMPTED US TO FIND IT BEFORE ACCEPTING THE CLRNC. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY COMMON TO ACCEPT TAXI INSTRUCTIONS FROM CTLRS ON THE GND; AND THAT WE AS PLTS TEND TO 'TRUST' THAT THEY WOULDN'T GIVE US INSTRUCTIONS WE COULDN'T COMPLY WITH INTENTIONALLY OR OTHERWISE. IN RETROSPECT; WE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT ANY CLRNC BEFORE EVALUATIING WHAT IT ENTAILS. UNFORTUNATELY; IN OUR PROFESSION; WE ARE FORCED TO ACCEPT SOME RISK IN THIS AREA. IMAGINE BEING GIVEN TAXI INSTRUCTIONS; 'TAXI VIA CHARLIE; VICTOR; AND MIKE TO RWY ONE...' AND REPLYING; 'STANDBY' WHILE YOU STUDY YOUR CHART TO SEE IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH NOBODY WANTS TO 'ADMIT' THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING; SO THEY JUST ACCEPT AND FIGURE IT OUT ON THE WAY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 591233: I RESPONDED OUT OF HABIT BECAUSE I ASSUMED THE NEXT TXWY WOULD BE KILO. AT THE TIME I RESPONDED TO TWR WE WERE DOING 30 KTS. AFTER I RESPONDED THE CAPT AND I WERE BOTH LOOKING FOR KILO; BUT ALL WE SAW WAS RWY 27 AND 9. WE BOTH THEN THOUGHT THAT KILO WAS ON THE S SIDE OF RWY 27. I THOUGHT KILO WOULD BE IN FRONT OF US. IT HOWEVER WAS AT OUR 9 O'CLOCK POS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO MAKE DUE TO THE WET RWY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 590752: PAPERWORK WAS FILED ON THE PLT DEVIATION/SURFACE INCIDENT. PLTS MUST KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
