Narrative:
Approaching rutland, vt, airport from the south, I transmitted on CTAF 122.8 10 mi south, and advised of my intentions. Shortly thereafter, I heard a cessna citation announce a 6 mi straight in final to runway 19, the active runway, length 5000 ft. I presumed he was making an instrument approach to runway 19. As I got closer to the airport, I twice asked the citation of his intention as to a full stop or a missed approach after the approach was completed. He never answered, but did a go around and announced climbing to 1800 ft MSL, the pattern altitude, and would stay in the pattern. Next I saw him pass in front of me on the right crosswind at 1800 ft MSL as I was about to enter the pattern. The citation made a wide pattern and returned for a full stop landing, rolling all the way to the end and turning right into a turn around pad where I thought he was exiting the runway. I then touched down on the approach end using approximately 300 ft of the runway. I was clearing the runway when the citation announced that he would back taxi on runway 19 to clear the runway. I cleared the runway before the citation turned around. The citation pilot advised me that I should not have landed before he had back taxied and cleared the runway. I said it was permissible and safe, as long as the PIC determined it was safe to do so.

Title: C170 PLT DISPUTES RWY USAGE WITH CITATION PLT AT RUT.
Narrative: APCHING RUTLAND, VT, ARPT FROM THE S, I XMITTED ON CTAF 122.8 10 MI S, AND ADVISED OF MY INTENTIONS. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I HEARD A CESSNA CITATION ANNOUNCE A 6 MI STRAIGHT IN FINAL TO RWY 19, THE ACTIVE RWY, LENGTH 5000 FT. I PRESUMED HE WAS MAKING AN INST APCH TO RWY 19. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE ARPT, I TWICE ASKED THE CITATION OF HIS INTENTION AS TO A FULL STOP OR A MISSED APCH AFTER THE APCH WAS COMPLETED. HE NEVER ANSWERED, BUT DID A GAR AND ANNOUNCED CLBING TO 1800 FT MSL, THE PATTERN ALT, AND WOULD STAY IN THE PATTERN. NEXT I SAW HIM PASS IN FRONT OF ME ON THE R XWIND AT 1800 FT MSL AS I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE PATTERN. THE CITATION MADE A WIDE PATTERN AND RETURNED FOR A FULL STOP LNDG, ROLLING ALL THE WAY TO THE END AND TURNING R INTO A TURN AROUND PAD WHERE I THOUGHT HE WAS EXITING THE RWY. I THEN TOUCHED DOWN ON THE APCH END USING APPROX 300 FT OF THE RWY. I WAS CLRING THE RWY WHEN THE CITATION ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD BACK TAXI ON RWY 19 TO CLR THE RWY. I CLRED THE RWY BEFORE THE CITATION TURNED AROUND. THE CITATION PLT ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE LANDED BEFORE HE HAD BACK TAXIED AND CLRED THE RWY. I SAID IT WAS PERMISSIBLE AND SAFE, AS LONG AS THE PIC DETERMINED IT WAS SAFE TO DO SO.
