Narrative:

After soloing a student at jabara airport in wichita, ks, I had my student get off of the third taxiway, which is approximately 1/3 down the runway from the approach end of runway 18. After I got in the aircraft, I had my student do a 180 degree turn and head out to depart runway 18. I made a radio call, which was followed by a radio call from an aircraft on final. I looked and saw nothing and then proceeded onto the runway. When we had entered the runway I looked again and realized the aircraft on final was landing. It was too late to make a 180 degree turn and exit, so I applied full throttle and departed as rapidly as possible to avoid. The aircraft never came closer than 300-500 ft to each other. Factors affecting the incident: 1) I was 15 mins late for a class and in a hurry. 2) I had flown 4 flts previous to this one and was tired. 3) the slope of the runway makes it hard to see aircraft close to the ground from where we were on the runway. In short, I had several factors pushing me to make a rapid departure, and my desire to make a rapid departure resulted in a bad decision to depart without having confirmed visual separation with traffic. This resulted in a near collision. I will most definitely be more aware and wary of impulsive hurried decisions in the future.
