Narrative:

I was holding short of runway 14 at salisbury as directed by the FSS. The active runway had just been changed from downwind lndgs on 32 to runway 14. There was a trainer holding short of runway 32, and 2 military small transport's in the pattern for runway 14. I waited for 1 small transport to land and clear the runway. Looking left I judged the second small transport to be on at least a 3 mi final. I proceeded to power up and make a departure call on the roll in that order. Leaving from a high speed taxiway I rotated at 60 mph and continued my climb to 400' and then proceeded to turn crosswind. I continued my climb to 600' and then turned downwind. From downwind I proceeded from the pattern en route to cambridge. The situation which seemed to develop occurred as I was climbing to crosswind. Using some strong words the small transport pilot claimed I had cut him off his approach to final. As I was starting to turn crosswind the pilot radioed asking which way I was going to turn because he was 1/4 mi astern of my position. My response was immediate, 'left turn out.' the small transport had reported that his approach would lead to a touch and go. Therefore, I judged that if he was on a 3 mi final I had time to depart and clear the area. His choice to go around was his right, but I believe that action caused the incident he claimed. On climb out and turns in the pattern I was never able to locate the aircraft as he proceeded on his go around. My passenger was also unable to locate the aircraft. I did not and do not believe that I was at error as to my judgement in this matter. I take great care to operate with good judgement and with extra effort toward safety.

Title: UNCONTROLLED ARPT TRAFFIC PATTERN PROBLEM. ACFT ELECTED TO GO AROUND OVERTAKING SLOWER ACFT.

Narrative: I WAS HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 14 AT SALISBURY AS DIRECTED BY THE FSS. THE ACTIVE RWY HAD JUST BEEN CHANGED FROM DOWNWIND LNDGS ON 32 TO RWY 14. THERE WAS A TRAINER HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 32, AND 2 MIL SMT'S IN THE PATTERN FOR RWY 14. I WAITED FOR 1 SMT TO LAND AND CLR THE RWY. LOOKING LEFT I JUDGED THE SECOND SMT TO BE ON AT LEAST A 3 MI FINAL. I PROCEEDED TO PWR UP AND MAKE A DEP CALL ON THE ROLL IN THAT ORDER. LEAVING FROM A HIGH SPD TXWY I ROTATED AT 60 MPH AND CONTINUED MY CLB TO 400' AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TURN XWIND. I CONTINUED MY CLB TO 600' AND THEN TURNED DOWNWIND. FROM DOWNWIND I PROCEEDED FROM THE PATTERN ENRTE TO CAMBRIDGE. THE SITUATION WHICH SEEMED TO DEVELOP OCCURRED AS I WAS CLBING TO XWIND. USING SOME STRONG WORDS THE SMT PLT CLAIMED I HAD CUT HIM OFF HIS APCH TO FINAL. AS I WAS STARTING TO TURN XWIND THE PLT RADIOED ASKING WHICH WAY I WAS GOING TO TURN BECAUSE HE WAS 1/4 MI ASTERN OF MY POS. MY RESPONSE WAS IMMEDIATE, 'LEFT TURN OUT.' THE SMT HAD RPTED THAT HIS APCH WOULD LEAD TO A TOUCH AND GO. THEREFORE, I JUDGED THAT IF HE WAS ON A 3 MI FINAL I HAD TIME TO DEPART AND CLR THE AREA. HIS CHOICE TO GO AROUND WAS HIS RIGHT, BUT I BELIEVE THAT ACTION CAUSED THE INCIDENT HE CLAIMED. ON CLBOUT AND TURNS IN THE PATTERN I WAS NEVER ABLE TO LOCATE THE ACFT AS HE PROCEEDED ON HIS GAR. MY PAX WAS ALSO UNABLE TO LOCATE THE ACFT. I DID NOT AND DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS AT ERROR AS TO MY JUDGEMENT IN THIS MATTER. I TAKE GREAT CARE TO OPERATE WITH GOOD JUDGEMENT AND WITH EXTRA EFFORT TOWARD SAFETY.
