Human Factors
Forgot to look for landing traffic. I have never done that before. Got distracted? Pulled out onto the runway with a small aircraft on very short final. He did a go around. It was very close. Glad one of us was awake. I pulled off the runway onto the grass.
A pilot departing SZT non-towered airport reported they taxied on to the runway to depart when they noticed another aircraft on short final. The pilot taxied off the runway onto the grass.
