Airport; Human Factors
Ground control cleared me to taxi from the FBO to Runway 1L via Taxiway Hotel hold short of 1L at Taxiway Bravo. As I passed approximately Taxiway Whiskey Ground told me the Tower wanted to talk to me. I switched to Tower frequency and called. He issued me the clearance for takeoff Runway 1L from Bravo. About 30 seconds later; after finishing final review of the departure procedure; SHEAD9; and the checklists; I lined up on what I thought was 1L and added power. Prior to adding final takeoff power; and before the airspeed was indicating; I saw the word TAXIWAY painted on the pavement ahead and the Tower said I was lined up on Taxiway Foxtrot and takeoff clearance was cancelled. He then said a 180 on the taxiway was approved and to hold short of 1L at Bravo. After a couple minutes he gave me the Tower phone number to call about a possible pilot deviation. A couple minutes later he asked if I was ready for departure. I said I was unless I needed to make the phone call right then. He said it would be fine to call later and cleared me for takeoff.There are 3 taxiways and 2 runways all parallel at that location of the airport. Hotspot 4 is located very near that area but it does not include holding short of 1L at Bravo. It's a little confusing with the parallel pavements and the lighting. I believe that taxiway Foxtrot actually has centerline lighting. On taxi out I had a paper chart of the airport diagram for reference and the SHEAD9 was displayed on my iPad. I wanted to review it prior to departure; it's rather complicated; and have it readily available immediately after takeoff. If I had displayed the airport diagram with geo referencing on the iPad it is likely I would have seen/noticed that I had lined up with taxiway Foxtrot and not Runway 1L.Two good things in hindsight that helped are the word TAXIWAY painted on the pavement which caught my attention; and an alert Tower Controller with good ground radar available to him to precisely locate aircraft on the ground.
S550 Pilot reported beginning his takeoff roll at LAS on a taxiway; but a call from ATC and the word 'Taxiway' on the pavement prompted him to discontinue the attempt.
