Narrative:
Being the pilot of aircraft X, I taxied in front of landing aircraft Y. I taxied from terminal to an intersection takeoff so I could see both directions, looking toward the approach and I made appropriate radio calls. I received negative response and visually insured a clear runway, started my takeoff roll, at which time the movement of the other aircraft Y to my right caught my eye. I applied braking. Aircraft Y is painted black and airport is heavily wooded with shadows. Aircraft Y was well camouflaged. Airport is heavily used during summer season without control tower or ground controllers. I should have taxied completely to approach end of runway.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: PA32 PLT PULLED IN FRONT OF LNDG TFC AT AN UNCTLED ARPT.
Narrative: BEING THE PLT OF ACFT X, I TAXIED IN FRONT OF LNDG ACFT Y. I TAXIED FROM TERMINAL TO AN INTXN TKOF SO I COULD SEE BOTH DIRECTIONS, LOOKING TOWARD THE APCH AND I MADE APPROPRIATE RADIO CALLS. I RECEIVED NEGATIVE RESPONSE AND VISUALLY INSURED A CLR RWY, STARTED MY TKOF ROLL, AT WHICH TIME THE MOVEMENT OF THE OTHER ACFT Y TO MY R CAUGHT MY EYE. I APPLIED BRAKING. ACFT Y IS PAINTED BLACK AND ARPT IS HEAVILY WOODED WITH SHADOWS. ACFT Y WAS WELL CAMOUFLAGED. ARPT IS HEAVILY USED DURING SUMMER SEASON WITHOUT CTL TWR OR GND CTLRS. I SHOULD HAVE TAXIED COMPLETELY TO APCH END OF RWY.
