Human Factors; Procedure
This was the first flight; of my second week of IOE (Initial Operating Experience) on the Latitude. My 4th takeoff/landing at the controls; in the airplane. We ferried from ZZZ to SFO and we were being vectored for the Tipp Toe visual to Runway 28L. We were approximately 6 nm behind landing traffic and slightly behind and abeam landing traffic on Runway 28R. Approaching the San Mateo Bridge FAF I started to reduce speed from 160 KIAS and ask for landing configuration. At approximately 1 nm final; SFO Tower advised us to take the first available right turn; even if it was a runway (1L/1R); as we had landing traffic behind us. This was a Heavy. I was on speed and well within the stabilized approach criteria. When I touched down; after floating a little; I deployed the speed brakes and started braking as I was deploying the thrust reversers. The aircraft felt as though there would have been a shimmy; so I released the brakes until they smoothed out. During the rollout; Tower again asked for the first available right turn. After the transfer of controls; the first available turn off was onto Runway 1L. Before we cleared Runway 28L; Tower instructed the landing Heavy to go-around. After being issued taxi instructions and before being handed off to the Ground Controller; the Tower Controller; got in his parting shot of (or something similar) 'Next time; when I tell you to clear the runway; you clear the runway.' We contacted Ground Control and taxied without further incident.I really don't know what to add. As with any incident that (potentially) affects safety; there are a multitude of factors that lead to the one occurrence. I was new in the plane and not quite 'in the groove' with the landing performance/handling characteristics of the airplane. Most every single one of my landings in SFO previously; on the 28's; it is expected that you keep as much forward momentum until crossing the 1's before exiting the runway; so that the departures on Runway 1L/R are minimally delayed. Combined the above facts; with the slight float on my part; the transfer of controls prior to exiting; we cleared where we did...which is earlier than the typical landing in SFO. One area where I could have slightly improved the situation is I slowed a little early; for landing configuration. I was no more than 1-1.5 nm from the San Mateo Bridge/FAF when I slowed from our assigned speed of 160 KIAS. Where I sat; it seemed as though the Controller put a Heavy in a little close behind a Corporate jet Latitude and we were expected to fix his mistake.
Corporate jet First Officer reported being instructed by SFO Tower to clear runway as soon as possible due to the proximity of a landing Heavy aircraft behind them.
