Narrative:

Obtained clearance (IFR) kpbi-kdet and started engines on ramp. Called ground control for taxi, 'departure runway 09L, hold short of runway on taxiway juliet.' then received clearance to cross runway 09L and taxi to departure end on taxiway 'charlie.' after arriving at departure end of runway 09L we switched to tower frequency 119.1. Our performance numbers for takeoff were V1-103KTS V2-115KTS with a balance field length of 3200 ft. After kpbi tower cleared us into position on runway 09L we turned on our landing lights along with our taxi light. Cleared to takeoff we advanced power for takeoff, the co-pilot called V1 and just at that time I noticed an aircraft starting to cross runway 09L at taxiway 'foxtrot' (looked like a lear jet) (taxiway foxtrot is approximately 4350 ft? From departure end of 09L). I rotated and crossed foxtrot at 200-250 ft estimated. At the same time someone called clear on the tower frequency. I glanced left and saw the aircraft had cleared the runway. Corrective action suggestions. 1) we always takeoff with all lights on. Crossing aircraft should visually check for landing or departing aircraft before crossing. 2) coordination between ground control and tower improve. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: captain had no further contact with ATC. He did not report this as a 'near miss.' the pilot has heard nothing from the FAA nor has he talked to anyone about the incident.

Title: F900 CREW HAD A LJ TAXI ONTO THEIR TKOF RWY ON RWY 09L AT PBI.

Narrative: OBTAINED CLRNC (IFR) KPBI-KDET AND STARTED ENGINES ON RAMP. CALLED GND CTL FOR TAXI, 'DEP RWY 09L, HOLD SHORT OF RWY ON TXWY JULIET.' THEN RECEIVED CLRNC TO CROSS RWY 09L AND TAXI TO DEP END ON TXWY 'CHARLIE.' AFTER ARRIVING AT DEP END OF RWY 09L WE SWITCHED TO TWR FREQ 119.1. OUR PERFORMANCE NUMBERS FOR TKOF WERE V1-103KTS V2-115KTS WITH A BALANCE FIELD LENGTH OF 3200 FT. AFTER KPBI TWR CLRED US INTO POS ON RWY 09L WE TURNED ON OUR LNDG LIGHTS ALONG WITH OUR TAXI LIGHT. CLRED TO TKOF WE ADVANCED PWR FOR TKOF, THE CO-PLT CALLED V1 AND JUST AT THAT TIME I NOTICED AN ACFT STARTING TO CROSS RWY 09L AT TXWY 'FOXTROT' (LOOKED LIKE A LEAR JET) (TXWY FOXTROT IS APPROX 4350 FT? FROM DEP END OF 09L). I ROTATED AND CROSSED FOXTROT AT 200-250 FT ESTIMATED. AT THE SAME TIME SOMEONE CALLED CLR ON THE TWR FREQ. I GLANCED L AND SAW THE ACFT HAD CLRED THE RWY. CORRECTIVE ACTION SUGGESTIONS. 1) WE ALWAYS TKOF WITH ALL LIGHTS ON. CROSSING ACFT SHOULD VISUALLY CHK FOR LNDG OR DEPARTING ACFT BEFORE CROSSING. 2) COORDINATION BETWEEN GND CTL AND TWR IMPROVE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: CAPT HAD NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH ATC. HE DID NOT RPT THIS AS A 'NEAR MISS.' THE PLT HAS HEARD NOTHING FROM THE FAA NOR HAS HE TALKED TO ANYONE ABOUT THE INCIDENT.
