Narrative:
Very busy day at ads. There were numerous airplanes waiting to take off and in the pattern for landing. Tower cleared me for takeoff and advised that there was an airplane on 1 1/2 mi final. I completed the before takeoff checklist and started moving into takeoff position. Just after I started to taxi, a voice (presumably the tower) said 'half mi final.' then there was an unintelligible transmission on the tower frequency. Shortly after starting my takeoff roll, the tower told the aircraft on final to go around. There was no further conflict as the airplane executed a go around. The airplane on final was a light twin and was approaching faster than I originally thought. I should not have accepted the takeoff clearance in the first place and the tower should have canceled my takeoff clearance when it became evident that spacing was becoming a problem. Because of the airport traffic, the tower was trying to move airplanes and I felt pressured to takeoff.

Title: AN SMA PLT RPTS THAT HE CAUSED AN ACFT ON A LONG FINAL TO HAVE TO GAR WHEN HE DAWDLED GETTING INTO THE AIR.
Narrative: VERY BUSY DAY AT ADS. THERE WERE NUMEROUS AIRPLANES WAITING TO TAKE OFF AND IN THE PATTERN FOR LNDG. TWR CLRED ME FOR TKOF AND ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN AIRPLANE ON 1 1/2 MI FINAL. I COMPLETED THE BEFORE TKOF CHKLIST AND STARTED MOVING INTO TKOF POS. JUST AFTER I STARTED TO TAXI, A VOICE (PRESUMABLY THE TWR) SAID 'HALF MI FINAL.' THEN THERE WAS AN UNINTELLIGIBLE XMISSION ON THE TWR FREQ. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING MY TKOF ROLL, THE TWR TOLD THE ACFT ON FINAL TO GAR. THERE WAS NO FURTHER CONFLICT AS THE AIRPLANE EXECUTED A GAR. THE AIRPLANE ON FINAL WAS A LIGHT TWIN AND WAS APCHING FASTER THAN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THE TKOF CLRNC IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THE TWR SHOULD HAVE CANCELED MY TKOF CLRNC WHEN IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT SPACING WAS BECOMING A PROB. BECAUSE OF THE ARPT TFC, THE TWR WAS TRYING TO MOVE AIRPLANES AND I FELT PRESSURED TO TKOF.
