Narrative:
I was departing in a C206 and had the wrong frequency dialed for CTAF. I was the pilot not flying but was working the radios. Our back taxi down runway 20 caused a cessna on short final to have to do a go around. My inexperience with the G1000 avionics in the 206 were what I contribute to my error. The pilot flying the aircraft on short approach was very angry as was I at myself. I should have double checked the frequency on the taxi out but I was distracted with imputing the flight plan in the G1000.
