Narrative:

We were just touching down on runway 36 at dca and the engines were spooling up in reverse thrust when the tower controller issued roll out instructions. All we heard were the numbers '33' and the phrase 'roll to the end.' we slowed and exited the runway with a left turn onto runway 33. We then exited runway 33 with a left turn onto the first taxiway. We were informed that our roll out instructions were not to turn onto runway 33, but to roll to the end of runway 36. I do not think issuing roll out instructions while the airplane is in the landing flare, or just after touchdown when it is difficult to hear with the engines in reverse is a good idea.

Title: FLC OF AN MLG FAILED TO FOLLOW LNDG ROLL OUT INSTRUCTIONS.

Narrative: WE WERE JUST TOUCHING DOWN ON RWY 36 AT DCA AND THE ENGS WERE SPOOLING UP IN REVERSE THRUST WHEN THE TWR CTLR ISSUED ROLL OUT INSTRUCTIONS. ALL WE HEARD WERE THE NUMBERS '33' AND THE PHRASE 'ROLL TO THE END.' WE SLOWED AND EXITED THE RWY WITH A L TURN ONTO RWY 33. WE THEN EXITED RWY 33 WITH A L TURN ONTO THE FIRST TXWY. WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR ROLL OUT INSTRUCTIONS WERE NOT TO TURN ONTO RWY 33, BUT TO ROLL TO THE END OF RWY 36. I DO NOT THINK ISSUING ROLL OUT INSTRUCTIONS WHILE THE AIRPLANE IS IN THE LNDG FLARE, OR JUST AFTER TOUCHDOWN WHEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO HEAR WITH THE ENGS IN REVERSE IS A GOOD IDEA.
