Going around what to do?

Always a good idea to be ready. Options are good. G

What would you do in the following situtation:

You are approaching a non towered field, communicate right and all that
stuff, your on final, suddenly a cessna pulls up and starts it's take
off roll.

I'd just do this g

I'd prefer to "switch to guns", but the Arrow I fly has no 30mm cannon. :-(

How much room will there be as the Cessna rolls down the runway? If he
leaves me about 1000 feet I'm landing.

I was rather on the OTHER side of that once, as a solo student.

Class D airport got real busy for a while; there were several lined up
for takeoff, and quite a number in the pattern, including several on
long final.

I was told to take position and hold, which I did. I was not overly
comfortable with this, because incoming traffic was behind me, which I
thought was getting sorta close. I was cleared to take off, and
started rolling. Another aircraft shortly radioed that he was going
around. I wasn't sure what to do, but continued the takeoff. My
reasoning on-the-spot was that I could continue to fit in. I spotted
the go-around traffic high and to my right, and kept him glued in my in
sight until I lifted off, and watched him pull away as I accelerated
and slowly climbed. It all worked, but I'm not sure that it was the
BEST way. I believe the controller was in error by telling me to roll
while someone was that close on final (duh).

Thinking back, taking position and hold doesn't mean I have to be
pointed down the runway. If it's that busy, perhaps I can be in
postion but pointed sideways, so I can see the approaching traffic.
Dunno, might work.

AS for the original situation, I'd sidestep right and keep traffic in
sight. If there was another parallel runway, I'd make the sidestep
pretty narrow, and maybe even slip to lower my wing and keep the other
traffic IN SIGHT.

Well I would do the following....
Aviate...Slip to the right side or the runway.... Full
throttle....establish airspeed and start climbout... and KEEP offending
plane in site... once plane is settled into that I would then
Communicate...Let ATC that I was making missed approach and listen for
instructions... or if at a non tower field I woujld annnounce via raido
my intentions
Then come around as instructed to try again...

What if the Cessna rolls a bit and aborts? Mechanical problem. Forgot his
Jepps.

Then go around. Chances are if he aborts he will be off the runway before
you touchdown.

And even if he's not, landing behind him may still be the safest thing. If
the other guy is on the runway in front of me, I can see him and know
exactly where he is. If I go-around, there's a pretty good chance I'll
lose sight of him (especially if I'm flying a low-wing).

Most of the things most of us fly can be stopped in under 1000 feet. There
just aren't that many scenarios where a guy starts rolling and then stops
leaving me less than 1000 feet behind him. And even in that case, I can
probably do a high-speed turn off into the grass with little or no damage.

Let me add.

If you go around you clear the R/W ASAP. No if's, and's or but's.

Been the rule for years.
