C210 PLT ABORTS LNDG AT CAK ON RWY 5 WHEN C310 AHEAD STOPS ON THE RWY.

Narrative

APCHING CAK FROM THE S AT 2500 FT MSL. IN RADAR CONTACT WITH CAK ABOUT 8 MI OUT WITH THE ARPT IN SIGHT. THE CTLR VECTORED ME 270 DEGS FOR TFC SEPARATION. TFC; A TWIN CESSNA WAS CALLED OUT BY ATC DIRECTLY ABOVE US. I WAS TOLD TO FOLLOW THAT TFC TO RWY 5. WE APCHED THE ARPT WITH THE TWIN IN SIGHT. APCH CTL APPARENTLY FORGOT ABOUT US OR THOUGHT THEY HAD XFERRED US TO TWR. WHEN ABOUT 1/2 MI OUT I CALLED APCH CTL AND REQUESTED TO BE XFERRED TO THE TWR -- A SOMEWHAT STARTLED CTLR SAID 'YES; GO TO TWR.' I QUICKLY SWITCHED FREQ TO TWR AND ASKED FOR CLRNC TO LAND. TWR SAID THAT THEY HAD BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT ME. ON MY THIRD CALL; MY CLRNC TO LAND WAS FINALLY ISSUED. BY THIS TIME I WAS ALMOST OVER THE END OF THE RWY. I HAD FULLY RETARDED THE THROTTLE AND DEPLOYED FULL FLAPS. WE WERE WATCHING THE TWIN AHEAD OF US AND IT APPEARED THAT HE HAD STOPPED ON THE RWY. THE TWR WAS TALKING TO HIM DIRECTING HIM TO GO S IN SPITE OF HIS REQUEST TO G N. AT THAT TIME I INITIATED A GAR AND ABORTED MY LNDG. I PUSHED THE ENG CTLS FULL FORWARD TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE SE SIDE OF THE RWY. I WAS MONITORING AIRSPD AS I RETRACTED THE FLAPS 1 NOTCH AT A TIME. IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY. I HAD 4 SOULS ON BOARD AND ALMOST FULL FUEL. THE AIRPLANE DID NOT REACT QUICKLY. I HAD ELECTED TO LEAVE THE LNDG GEAR DOWN SINCE THE 210 OFTEN LOSES EVEN MORE ALT WHILE THE GEAR IS IN TRANSITION. IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO ESTABLISH A POSITIVE RATE OF CLB. MEANWHILE; LONG AFTER I HAD INITIATED THE GAR; THE TWR STARTED YELLING 'LAND OR GO AROUND; LAND OR GO AROUND.' I PASSED OVERHEAD AND TO THE SIDE OF THE TWIN; WHICH APPEARED TO BE A C310; WHILE HE WAS SEVERAL HUNDRED FT SW OF THE INTXN OF RWYS 5/23 AND 1/19. ONCE ESTABLISHED IN THE CLB; AND JUST BEYOND THE RWY INTXN; I RADIOED THE TWR WITH A SARCASTIC UN-CALLED FOR REMARK OF 'NICE JOB GUYS.' I WAS VERY UPSET AND MY REMARKS APPARENTLY UPSET THEM. I WAS GIVEN L TFC AND TOLD THAT TWR WOULD CALL MY BASE LEG. ON CLOSE-IN DOWNWIND; AND ADJACENT TO A SLOWER AIRPLANE; THE TWR CALLED MY BASE. I TOLD TWR THAT I WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT INSTRUCTION BECAUSE IT MIGHT PRODUCE THE SAME CHAIN OF EVENTS AND I EXTENDED MY DOWNWIND A SHORT DISTANCE AND CALLED MY BASE AND CONFIRMED MY CLRNC TO LAND. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE TWR PERSONNEL ON THE GND BY TELEPHONE; I FOUND THAT THE TWR THOUGHT THAT I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND LONG TO SHORTEN MY TAXI DISTANCE. THIS WAS DEFINITELY NOT TRUE. I'M NOW SURE THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT I WAS TRYING TO LAND LONG BECAUSE OF MY FLAT TRAJECTORY AS I INITIATED THE GAR -- LONG BEFORE THEY FINISHED WITH THE OTHER PLT AND STARTED YELLING AT ME. THE SIT WAS EXACERBATED BY THE FACT THAT I USE A HANDHELD MIKE AND WAS UNABLE TO SAFELY TAKE TIME TO TALK TO THE TWR UNTIL I HAD ESTABLISHED A POSITIVE RATE OF CLB. I WAS TAUGHT TO 'AVIATE; NAV; THEN COM.' I PROBABLY COULD HAVE LANDED AND STOPPED WITHOUT HITTING THE STOPPED TWIN; BUT AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN. IT SEEMED LIKE THE SAFEST THING TO DO WAS ABORT THE LNDG AND GO AROUND. AFTER BEING TURNED OVER TO THE TWR JUST BEFORE THE END OF THE RWY; I HAD ALREADY LET THE SIT GET UNCOMFORTABLE.
