Narrative:

Lga tower continues to give a continuous litany of rapid and complex taxi instructions to airplanes during high speed/workload on the landing rollout. Often in extremely poor WX and runway surface conditions; although this should never occur anyway. Today it was during the rollout from an expressway visual runway 31. On this flight; the first officer had just lowered the nose to the runway when we (unbelievably) received instructions to 'exit taxiway tango; etc.' we were traveling at approximately 125 KTS or so. As we continued our deceleration; the controller then re-keyed the microphone and said something to the effect; 'exit taxiway sierra; turn right on taxiway bravo and contact ground control on 121.7 (with no break as we rolled on) if unable; exit taxiway romeo; etc; etc.' the continuous second call was from around 100 KTS down to about 50 KTS. This should not have to be said; but in an aircraft weighing around 135000 pounds or more; on poor runways; trying to safely decelerate with the tower constantly yacking taxi instructions that should not even be given at that time; is a recipe for disaster. Although many towers around the country are doing this more and more; and many pilots are unwisely responding and rushing to comply; lga tower is the worst. Short runways surrounded by water; often in marginal WX and bad runway conditions with heavy traffic and too close final spacing obviously make for an operation that is just ridiculous.

Title: A B737 CAPT LNDG AT LGA EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING CTLR'S RWY EXIT INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED DURING HIGH SPD/WORKLOAD PERIOD.

Narrative: LGA TWR CONTINUES TO GIVE A CONTINUOUS LITANY OF RAPID AND COMPLEX TAXI INSTRUCTIONS TO AIRPLANES DURING HIGH SPD/WORKLOAD ON THE LNDG ROLLOUT. OFTEN IN EXTREMELY POOR WX AND RWY SURFACE CONDITIONS; ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD NEVER OCCUR ANYWAY. TODAY IT WAS DURING THE ROLLOUT FROM AN EXPRESSWAY VISUAL RWY 31. ON THIS FLT; THE FO HAD JUST LOWERED THE NOSE TO THE RWY WHEN WE (UNBELIEVABLY) RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS TO 'EXIT TXWY TANGO; ETC.' WE WERE TRAVELING AT APPROX 125 KTS OR SO. AS WE CONTINUED OUR DECELERATION; THE CTLR THEN RE-KEYED THE MIKE AND SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT; 'EXIT TXWY SIERRA; TURN R ON TXWY BRAVO AND CONTACT GND CTL ON 121.7 (WITH NO BREAK AS WE ROLLED ON) IF UNABLE; EXIT TXWY ROMEO; ETC; ETC.' THE CONTINUOUS SECOND CALL WAS FROM AROUND 100 KTS DOWN TO ABOUT 50 KTS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SAID; BUT IN AN ACFT WEIGHING AROUND 135000 LBS OR MORE; ON POOR RWYS; TRYING TO SAFELY DECELERATE WITH THE TWR CONSTANTLY YACKING TAXI INSTRUCTIONS THAT SHOULD NOT EVEN BE GIVEN AT THAT TIME; IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. ALTHOUGH MANY TWRS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE DOING THIS MORE AND MORE; AND MANY PLTS ARE UNWISELY RESPONDING AND RUSHING TO COMPLY; LGA TWR IS THE WORST. SHORT RWYS SURROUNDED BY WATER; OFTEN IN MARGINAL WX AND BAD RWY CONDITIONS WITH HEAVY TFC AND TOO CLOSE FINAL SPACING OBVIOUSLY MAKE FOR AN OP THAT IS JUST RIDICULOUS.
