Narrative:

While on short final to runway 29 (100 ft AGL) the local controller at bdr asked us for 'minimum time on the runway after landing for other aircraft behind you on final...plan your turnoff on taxiway H....' I was the instructor, demonstrating a short- field landing to the student, and acknowledged the controller's request (instruction?) with a 'roger.' after landing, just second later, we were easily able to make taxiway a, just before taxiway H. Because the controller had asked for 'minimum time on the runway,' and because I had no idea how far behind me the other aircraft was, I made the first possible exit onto taxiway a. I then saw another small aircraft on taxiway a, holding short for departure, previously unseen as I was on the right side of the aircraft and my view was partially blocked. We easily passed by this aircraft as we exited the runway onto taxiway a, but the ground controller indicated that we had not followed ATC instructions by exiting on taxiway a instead of taxiway H. He stated txwys are 1-WAY. I was concerned about the aircraft behind us on final! At no point was there a hazard to the aircraft holding on taxiway a, and our taxi speeds were normal throughout the entire sequence of events. I apologized for any misunderstanding, but perhaps ATC could provide these instructions/requests at less critical moments of flight!

Title: NON ADHERENCE TO ATC INSTRUCTION BY CFI. TRAINING IN PROGRESS.

Narrative: WHILE ON SHORT FINAL TO RWY 29 (100 FT AGL) THE LCL CTLR AT BDR ASKED US FOR 'MINIMUM TIME ON THE RWY AFTER LNDG FOR OTHER ACFT BEHIND YOU ON FINAL...PLAN YOUR TURNOFF ON TXWY H....' I WAS THE INSTRUCTOR, DEMONSTRATING A SHORT- FIELD LNDG TO THE STUDENT, AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE CTLR'S REQUEST (INSTRUCTION?) WITH A 'ROGER.' AFTER LNDG, JUST SECOND LATER, WE WERE EASILY ABLE TO MAKE TXWY A, JUST BEFORE TXWY H. BECAUSE THE CTLR HAD ASKED FOR 'MINIMUM TIME ON THE RWY,' AND BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAR BEHIND ME THE OTHER ACFT WAS, I MADE THE FIRST POSSIBLE EXIT ONTO TXWY A. I THEN SAW ANOTHER SMALL ACFT ON TXWY A, HOLDING SHORT FOR DEP, PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN AS I WAS ON THE R SIDE OF THE ACFT AND MY VIEW WAS PARTIALLY BLOCKED. WE EASILY PASSED BY THIS ACFT AS WE EXITED THE RWY ONTO TXWY A, BUT THE GND CTLR INDICATED THAT WE HAD NOT FOLLOWED ATC INSTRUCTIONS BY EXITING ON TXWY A INSTEAD OF TXWY H. HE STATED TXWYS ARE 1-WAY. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE ACFT BEHIND US ON FINAL! AT NO POINT WAS THERE A HAZARD TO THE ACFT HOLDING ON TXWY A, AND OUR TAXI SPDS WERE NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. I APOLOGIZED FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDING, BUT PERHAPS ATC COULD PROVIDE THESE INSTRUCTIONS/REQUESTS AT LESS CRITICAL MOMENTS OF FLT!
