Narrative:

We went missed at ryan airport in tucson, az, and contacted tus approach and requested the ILS practice approach. The controller asked for us to maintain 110 KIAS for spacing and gave us vectors to intercept the localizer. We were high on the GS once we intercepted the localizer and proceeded to descend. After we got switched to tower frequency, they requested 'fastest forward speed.' we were trying to maintain speed until the short final position, which found us below the GS. We were cleared to land on runway 11L. Also on approach was an air carrier X B727, which was landing on runway 29R -- the opposite end of the same runway. We touched down on runway 11L and our first priority was to get off the runway. We slowed the airplane down but in our effort to taxi off, our right wing struck a runway hold short sign. As we were trying to get off the runway, I remember seeing the jet's landing lights in front of us, though not on the runway. The factors that caused the accident were the hurried approach and the need to get off the runway for the landing traffic. The right decision was to reject the clearance and wait until we could proceed at normal speed and land without the additional factors. We were abel to continue taxiing and the B727 jet was able to land.

Title: A PA28 STUDENT AND INSTRUCTOR STRUCK A RWY HOLD SHORT SIGN EXITING THE RWY AFTER LNDG.

Narrative: WE WENT MISSED AT RYAN ARPT IN TUCSON, AZ, AND CONTACTED TUS APCH AND REQUESTED THE ILS PRACTICE APCH. THE CTLR ASKED FOR US TO MAINTAIN 110 KIAS FOR SPACING AND GAVE US VECTORS TO INTERCEPT THE LOC. WE WERE HIGH ON THE GS ONCE WE INTERCEPTED THE LOC AND PROCEEDED TO DSND. AFTER WE GOT SWITCHED TO TWR FREQ, THEY REQUESTED 'FASTEST FORWARD SPD.' WE WERE TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPD UNTIL THE SHORT FINAL POS, WHICH FOUND US BELOW THE GS. WE WERE CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 11L. ALSO ON APCH WAS AN ACR X B727, WHICH WAS LNDG ON RWY 29R -- THE OPPOSITE END OF THE SAME RWY. WE TOUCHED DOWN ON RWY 11L AND OUR FIRST PRIORITY WAS TO GET OFF THE RWY. WE SLOWED THE AIRPLANE DOWN BUT IN OUR EFFORT TO TAXI OFF, OUR R WING STRUCK A RWY HOLD SHORT SIGN. AS WE WERE TRYING TO GET OFF THE RWY, I REMEMBER SEEING THE JET'S LNDG LIGHTS IN FRONT OF US, THOUGH NOT ON THE RWY. THE FACTORS THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT WERE THE HURRIED APCH AND THE NEED TO GET OFF THE RWY FOR THE LNDG TFC. THE RIGHT DECISION WAS TO REJECT THE CLRNC AND WAIT UNTIL WE COULD PROCEED AT NORMAL SPD AND LAND WITHOUT THE ADDITIONAL FACTORS. WE WERE ABEL TO CONTINUE TAXIING AND THE B727 JET WAS ABLE TO LAND.
