Narrative:
Made go around at 400 ft on 1/2 mi final to runway 22 lga. High winds with gusts to 25 KTS from 280 degrees during the lda approach required me to align early with the runway for a safe landing. While I was making this maneuver, tower cleared an air carrier B757 to take off on runway 31. There was a delay in the start of his takeoff roll, which I estimated would put us too close at the intersection had I landed. I elected to abort the landing at 400 ft and 1/2 mi. We missed the B757 by 200 ft vertically and because I turned left, behind him, we passed 1500 ft behind. This would have been a very close call had I landed.

Title: MD80 CREW ON LDA APCH ABORTS LNDG BECAUSE A B757 DEPARTING A XING RWY DELAYED HIS TKOF ROLL PUTTING BOTH ACFT IN CONFLICT.
Narrative: MADE GAR AT 400 FT ON 1/2 MI FINAL TO RWY 22 LGA. HIGH WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 25 KTS FROM 280 DEGS DURING THE LDA APCH REQUIRED ME TO ALIGN EARLY WITH THE RWY FOR A SAFE LNDG. WHILE I WAS MAKING THIS MANEUVER, TWR CLRED AN ACR B757 TO TAKE OFF ON RWY 31. THERE WAS A DELAY IN THE START OF HIS TKOF ROLL, WHICH I ESTIMATED WOULD PUT US TOO CLOSE AT THE INTXN HAD I LANDED. I ELECTED TO ABORT THE LNDG AT 400 FT AND 1/2 MI. WE MISSED THE B757 BY 200 FT VERTLY AND BECAUSE I TURNED L, BEHIND HIM, WE PASSED 1500 FT BEHIND. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY CLOSE CALL HAD I LANDED.
