Narrative:

While holding short for the active runway 19, I listened to traffic and waited for an incoming C172. After the C172 passed me, I taxied onto the active to hold until he was 'clear the active,' all the while announcing my intentions and listening for traffic. Once the C172 had called out that he was 'clear the active,' I called out that I was departing on runway 19 for immediate departure to the south. As I was accelerating, I heard someone say they were landing on runway 19. So I restated my intentions and the overcoming aircraft told me to 'abort takeoff -- I'm right above you!' I immediately responded by closing the throttle and stating my intentions to taxi to the end of the runway. As I began to slow, I and my passenger saw the overcoming plane off to our right between 50-100 ft above us. He then turned right and rejoined the r-hand traffic. Once I reached the end of the runway I began to taxi back to the active runway, all the while stating my intentions. I did have the chance to see the bonanza make its full stop landing and I carried out my original intentions for a pleasure flight. In all, I am quite fortunate that no injuries or damage was incurred. Despite not being aware of the bonanza's position, or hearing him, a lesson was learned. At an uncontrolled airport, do not taxi onto the active runway for departure, if the departure is dependent upon a landing airplane's call for 'clear the active' -- especially on a busy day.

Title: A PA28 PVT PLT ABORTS HIS TKOF ON RWY 19 WHEN A LNDG BONANZA TELLS HIM TO AS THE BE33 FLIES OVERHEAD ON A GAR AT JWN, TN.

Narrative: WHILE HOLDING SHORT FOR THE ACTIVE RWY 19, I LISTENED TO TFC AND WAITED FOR AN INCOMING C172. AFTER THE C172 PASSED ME, I TAXIED ONTO THE ACTIVE TO HOLD UNTIL HE WAS 'CLR THE ACTIVE,' ALL THE WHILE ANNOUNCING MY INTENTIONS AND LISTENING FOR TFC. ONCE THE C172 HAD CALLED OUT THAT HE WAS 'CLR THE ACTIVE,' I CALLED OUT THAT I WAS DEPARTING ON RWY 19 FOR IMMEDIATE DEP TO THE S. AS I WAS ACCELERATING, I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THEY WERE LNDG ON RWY 19. SO I RESTATED MY INTENTIONS AND THE OVERCOMING ACFT TOLD ME TO 'ABORT TKOF -- I'M RIGHT ABOVE YOU!' I IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED BY CLOSING THE THROTTLE AND STATING MY INTENTIONS TO TAXI TO THE END OF THE RWY. AS I BEGAN TO SLOW, I AND MY PAX SAW THE OVERCOMING PLANE OFF TO OUR R BTWN 50-100 FT ABOVE US. HE THEN TURNED R AND REJOINED THE R-HAND TFC. ONCE I REACHED THE END OF THE RWY I BEGAN TO TAXI BACK TO THE ACTIVE RWY, ALL THE WHILE STATING MY INTENTIONS. I DID HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE THE BONANZA MAKE ITS FULL STOP LNDG AND I CARRIED OUT MY ORIGINAL INTENTIONS FOR A PLEASURE FLT. IN ALL, I AM QUITE FORTUNATE THAT NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE WAS INCURRED. DESPITE NOT BEING AWARE OF THE BONANZA'S POS, OR HEARING HIM, A LESSON WAS LEARNED. AT AN UNCTLED ARPT, DO NOT TAXI ONTO THE ACTIVE RWY FOR DEP, IF THE DEP IS DEPENDENT UPON A LNDG AIRPLANE'S CALL FOR 'CLR THE ACTIVE' -- ESPECIALLY ON A BUSY DAY.
