Narrative:

While taxiing out for departure on runway 08 at hilton head island, sc, we taxied out onto the active runway in front of an aircraft on final to the same runway which resulted in the other aircraft 'going around.' problem, normal company procedure is to monitor unicom/CTAF on #1 communication and obtain IFR release from savannah approach on #2 communication. For whatever reason, we switched #1 communication to sav approach for release and did not monitor hilton head CTAF for approximately 20 seconds. This resulted in missing the traffic pattern calls of the 'other aircraft' which had to execute the go around when we taxied out on to the active runway with our IFR release. This situation should have and could have been avoided by using proper uncontrolled field procedures.

Title: COMMUTER TAXIES ONTO RWY WITH ACFT ON FINAL, FORCES A GAR.

Narrative: WHILE TAXIING OUT FOR DEP ON RWY 08 AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC, WE TAXIED OUT ONTO THE ACTIVE RWY IN FRONT OF AN ACFT ON FINAL TO THE SAME RWY WHICH RESULTED IN THE OTHER ACFT 'GOING AROUND.' PROBLEM, NORMAL COMPANY PROC IS TO MONITOR UNICOM/CTAF ON #1 COM AND OBTAIN IFR RELEASE FROM SAVANNAH APCH ON #2 COM. FOR WHATEVER REASON, WE SWITCHED #1 COM TO SAV APCH FOR RELEASE AND DID NOT MONITOR HILTON HEAD CTAF FOR APPROX 20 SECONDS. THIS RESULTED IN MISSING THE TFC PATTERN CALLS OF THE 'OTHER ACFT' WHICH HAD TO EXECUTE THE GAR WHEN WE TAXIED OUT ON TO THE ACTIVE RWY WITH OUR IFR RELEASE. THIS SITUATION SHOULD HAVE AND COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY USING PROPER UNCTLED FIELD PROCS.
