PLT IN A F35 AT NYO DEP BEFORE PRECEDING LNDG EXPERIMENTAL ACFT WAS CLR OF RWY.

Narrative

AS I COMPLETE THE PRE TKOF CHECKLIST AT THE HOLD LINE AT NYO RWY 28; A HIGH WING EXP. TAILWHEEL ACFT LANDED. I THEN HEARD A THIRD ACFT (CHEROKEE) CALL BASE TO LAND RWY 28. EXPECTING PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE CHEROKEE TURNED FINAL; I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 'TAKING RWY 28 FOR IMMEDIATE DEP'. CHEROKEE ACKNOWLEDGED; AS I WAS ALREADY MOVING. WELL PAST THE HOLD LINE; BUT STILL NOT TURNED ONTO THE RWY; I SAW THE CHEROKEE ON A CLOSE-IN BASE (CLOSER THAN I EXPECTED; BUT STILL OK). I CONTINUED ONTO THE RWY; AT WHICH TIME I OBSERVED THE LNDG EXPERIMENTAL STILL ON THE RWY AT THE FAR END. I ADDED POWER; AS I WATCHED FOR EXPERIMENTAL TO CLR THE RWY; WITH PLENTY OF RWY TO ABORT IF NEEDED. CONCERNED ABOUT THE LNDG CHEROKEE; I ADDED FULL POWER. CHEROKEE CALLED ADVISING 'TFC ON RWY'. I ACKNOWLEDGED; SAYING I'LL STAY WELL CLR. CHEROKEE ANNOUNCED GAR SEEING THE EXPERIMENTAL BEGIN TO TURN; I DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE TKOF. EXPERIMENTAL MAY NOT HAVE CLRED THE RWY AS I LIFTED OFF MID-FIELD AND PASSED OVERHEAD AT APRROX 300 FT AGL. CONTINUED NORMAL DEP. FACTORS: BUSY FLYING; DESIRE NOT TO DELAY OTHERS OR FORCE A GAR BY OTHERS. ACTIONS: SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR THE CHEROKEE TO LAND; PREVENTING THE WHOLE CHAIN OF EVENTS. COULD ALSO HAVE STOPPED ON THE RWY; FORCING THE CHEROKEE TO GAR. COULD ALSO HAVE ABORTED TKOF AND EXITED AT MID-FIELD TXWY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED AN ULTRA LIGHT FLY-IN HAD JUST ENDED AND THE FIELD WAS STARTING TO GET VERY BUSY. HE SAID HE DID NOT MAKE A CLRING TURN BEFORE TAKING THE RWY.
