And further on someone's whinge about ATC exit instructions: When I'm bouncing down your runway at 90 knots, I can't read the chart, and I haven't memorized all of the taxiway names. At best, I know I'm shooting for the first or 2nd high speed on the left or whatever (really I do have a plan) but telling me to exit B or somesuch is going to cause me consternation unless I happen to be fully familliar with your layout
. Heard this at Liverpool one night, some poor b*gger in a chieftain had just broken out of the overcast at around 300' and was in the flare when he was given "G-XYZ vacate at A take taxiway B parking C". Single crew, unfamiliar with airfield layout, the guy just said 'er, i'm single crew, when I get it stopped and off the runway i'll have a look at the plate"

ATC can be too slick for their own good sometimes!
