Narrative:
Exiting runway at ord while other aircraft touching down. ATC facility: ord tower. Location: west end of runway 27R, turning onto taxiway J. On approach runway 27R at ord, tower did not respond to my call at the marker, taffs. At about a 2 mi final they told an aircraft with a very similar call sign to expedite across runway 27R. After my next call the controller responded with landing clearance, possible a new voice. As we slowed after landing I took control of the aircraft from the first officer as we approached the runway 22R intersection, while I thought we were slow enough to exit onto runway 22R. Without clearance I continued straight ahead on runway 27R. Tower said expedite to exit at taxiway east. As we started to turn for taxiway east, the right main gear anti-skid started releasing as it was now on the wet paint stripes. Since I could not slow down enough for that turn, I continued to the end, slowed before the threshold paint and turned left onto taxiway J. Tower was too busy to interrupt, but I was expecting to hear a go around issued for the aircraft behind us air carrier flight xyz. As we turned onto taxiway J, I looked left and could see an aircraft with landing lights on the runway 27R. He had slowed and exited at taxiway C before we had crossed the departure end of runway 4R. We ended up following air carrier flight xyz to the terminal, ie, I believe he cleared the runway very shortly after we did. I think the ord tower controllers are the best, and I don't want this report to cause much trouble up there, but in talking with the tower, I learned about amass which uses the ASR 9 and ground control radar to issue a go around command if a runway is occupied while a plane is landing. Perhaps the software can be improved with reports.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: MD80 WAS STILL ON RWY 27R APCHING TXWY J AT ORD WHEN A COMPANY ACFT BEHIND LANDED ON THE SAME RWY.
Narrative: EXITING RWY AT ORD WHILE OTHER ACFT TOUCHING DOWN. ATC FACILITY: ORD TWR. LOCATION: W END OF RWY 27R, TURNING ONTO TXWY J. ON APCH RWY 27R AT ORD, TWR DID NOT RESPOND TO MY CALL AT THE MARKER, TAFFS. AT ABOUT A 2 MI FINAL THEY TOLD AN ACFT WITH A VERY SIMILAR CALL SIGN TO EXPEDITE ACROSS RWY 27R. AFTER MY NEXT CALL THE CTLR RESPONDED WITH LNDG CLRNC, POSSIBLE A NEW VOICE. AS WE SLOWED AFTER LNDG I TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT FROM THE FO AS WE APCHED THE RWY 22R INTXN, WHILE I THOUGHT WE WERE SLOW ENOUGH TO EXIT ONTO RWY 22R. WITHOUT CLRNC I CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD ON RWY 27R. TWR SAID EXPEDITE TO EXIT AT TXWY E. AS WE STARTED TO TURN FOR TXWY E, THE R MAIN GEAR ANTI-SKID STARTED RELEASING AS IT WAS NOW ON THE WET PAINT STRIPES. SINCE I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN ENOUGH FOR THAT TURN, I CONTINUED TO THE END, SLOWED BEFORE THE THRESHOLD PAINT AND TURNED L ONTO TXWY J. TWR WAS TOO BUSY TO INTERRUPT, BUT I WAS EXPECTING TO HEAR A GAR ISSUED FOR THE ACFT BEHIND US ACR FLT XYZ. AS WE TURNED ONTO TXWY J, I LOOKED L AND COULD SEE AN ACFT WITH LNDG LIGHTS ON THE RWY 27R. HE HAD SLOWED AND EXITED AT TXWY C BEFORE WE HAD CROSSED THE DEP END OF RWY 4R. WE ENDED UP FOLLOWING ACR FLT XYZ TO THE TERMINAL, IE, I BELIEVE HE CLRED THE RWY VERY SHORTLY AFTER WE DID. I THINK THE ORD TWR CTLRS ARE THE BEST, AND I DON'T WANT THIS RPT TO CAUSE MUCH TROUBLE UP THERE, BUT IN TALKING WITH THE TWR, I LEARNED ABOUT AMASS WHICH USES THE ASR 9 AND GND CTL RADAR TO ISSUE A GAR COMMAND IF A RWY IS OCCUPIED WHILE A PLANE IS LNDG. PERHAPS THE SOFTWARE CAN BE IMPROVED WITH RPTS.
