I was coming in to land on RWY 4 at ROC. There was a North West MD80 at
the hold short line. Almost as soon as my mains touched down, before I'd
slowed down, the tower controller cleared the North West flight to take
off. I came back with "977 is still on the runway on runway 4", with a
rather urgent tone of voice because I didn't want to become the next
Tenerife. The controller, instead of cancelling the take off clearance
for the North West flight like I expected, came back with my taxi
instructions.
Well I've read a few replies, and most seem to say it was ok. However,
they could be wrong, as surely it depends on the seperation. So I want
to know (and only you can tell us), where on the RWY *they* were, and
where did *you* land (eg. threshold?) and how long is the RWY.

RWY 4 is 8001 feet long. The NWA flight was at the threshold. I had
touched down on the threshold and had just rolled past A1 and was trying
to decide if I should try to turn off A2 or not (it's a high speed in the
other direction, but wide enough that it doesn't look like it.) So I'd
guess I was 2000 feet from him.

were doing it wrong. --Bob Church
