Airport; Procedure
I was acting as pilot (PIC) of my bonanza BE36; with my neighbor as co-pilot; on an IFR. My co-pilot was handling radio transmissions and requested and cleared for the ILS approach by Approach. We were then instructed to contact tower. When the co-pilot contacted tower; we were on a 5 - 6 mile final on the ILS approach. Tower informed us that we were number 2 following a Skyhawk and cleared us to land runway 14. The co-pilot then read back our landing instructions which included our call sign. The landing roll took us past taxiway D and I was slowing the aircraft to decide which taxiway to exit for [FBO]. By now; I was approaching runway 4 and the co-pilot turned to the right in time to see a Twin Piper on take-off roll. Since there are no brakes on the right; the co-pilot told me to STOP!! STOP!! STOP!! When I stopped; the aircraft was inside of the runway 04 edge line. I immediately turned to my right; and saw the Twin Piper on take-off roll. Coinciding with the above; the tower instructed the Twin Piper to abort the take-off. The pilot of the Twin aircraft did not abort the take-off; did not acknowledge the towers instruction to abort the take-off and became airborne. The twin passed us with approximately three feet of altitude and within fifteen feet of the nose of our Bonanza. By the time the abort take-off was issued by the tower; a collision with the Twin Piper would have been inevitable had we not stopped. Both the speed of the Twin and his lack of altitude when passing in front of us; only reaffirms my opinion that a collision would have been unavoidable. We were then given runway exit instructions by the tower to initially turn right onto runway 04. This was then amended to continue to taxiway Bravo; right turn. Ground control then cleared us to taxi to [FBO] via Taxiway Alpha; hold short Runway 04 - 22. We were then given clearance to cross runway 4; and proceed to [FBO].The tower should never have issued a take-off clearance to an aircraft departing a crossing runway without issuing and receiving confirmation of a land and hold short instruction of that crossing runway to landing aircraft.
