Narrative:

While taxiing out of gate at the mdt airport, I failed to hold short of the nonstandard hold line for runway 31. This line is located on taxiway a, just south of taxiway F. Realizing that I had passed the hold line, I brought my airplane to a stop. I knew that there was another airplane on a visual approach which I had visual contact with. The control tower instructed the other airplane to go around. I feel that there was never any danger of a collision. I feel that being distraction with making sure correct radio frequencys were selected as well as looking for the airplane that was on the visual approach played a large factor in this incursion. I had also instructed the first officer to give the pre takeoff briefing. This distraction both pilots, and allowed the incursion to happen.
