Narrative:
I was PIC of a C208 caravan. I requested IFR clearance to row and then taxi instruction. I was given taxi to runway 17R intersection south. Upon arrival at intersection I announced my aircraft ready for departure. I was cleared for takeoff. I proceeded to cross the runway hold short line. There was then communication from lbb tower and another aircraft. It appeared that another aircraft had been cleared to land. I moved my throttle to beta range and applied hard braking. My aircraft came to a halt on the runway edge line just as a piper passed through the intersection. I had been cleared for takeoff in error probably because of controller fatigue or rush. I believe an accident was only narrowly avoided because of commercial pressure and I believe because of commercial pressure I may have failed to double-check the controller action by a check up look of the final approach. Because I continued to apply reverse power with braking by instinct this caused my aircraft to drop on its tail and be damaged requiring maintenance inspection.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: C208 RECEIVES SLIGHT DAMAGE TO TAIL WHEN PERFORMING A REJECTED TKOF TO AVOID AN ACFT DEPARTING AN INTERSECTING RWY.
Narrative: I WAS PIC OF A C208 CARAVAN. I REQUESTED IFR CLRNC TO ROW AND THEN TAXI INSTRUCTION. I WAS GIVEN TAXI TO RWY 17R INTXN S. UPON ARR AT INTXN I ANNOUNCED MY ACFT READY FOR DEP. I WAS CLRED FOR TKOF. I PROCEEDED TO CROSS THE RWY HOLD SHORT LINE. THERE WAS THEN COM FROM LBB TWR AND ANOTHER ACFT. IT APPEARED THAT ANOTHER ACFT HAD BEEN CLRED TO LAND. I MOVED MY THROTTLE TO BETA RANGE AND APPLIED HARD BRAKING. MY ACFT CAME TO A HALT ON THE RWY EDGE LINE JUST AS A PIPER PASSED THROUGH THE INTXN. I HAD BEEN CLRED FOR TKOF IN ERROR PROBABLY BECAUSE OF CTLR FATIGUE OR RUSH. I BELIEVE AN ACCIDENT WAS ONLY NARROWLY AVOIDED BECAUSE OF COMMERCIAL PRESSURE AND I BELIEVE BECAUSE OF COMMERCIAL PRESSURE I MAY HAVE FAILED TO DOUBLE-CHK THE CTLR ACTION BY A CHK UP LOOK OF THE FINAL APCH. BECAUSE I CONTINUED TO APPLY REVERSE PWR WITH BRAKING BY INSTINCT THIS CAUSED MY ACFT TO DROP ON ITS TAIL AND BE DAMAGED REQUIRING MAINT INSPECTION.
