A C172 PLT; TAXIING FOR TKOF AT CMA; TAXIED PAST THE HOLD SHORT LINE; REQUIRING A TWR INITIATED GAR TO LNDG TFC.

Narrative

I WAS LNDG AT CAMARILLO ARPT AND I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THAT TIME. WHEN I REQUESTED PERMISSIONS TO LAND I WAS CLRED TO LAND IMMEDIATELY EVEN THOUGH I WAS FAR APCHING. ALSO; I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE NOT MANY PEOPLE ON THE RADIO FREQ. WE LANDED AND THE CTLR ASKED ME TO CONTACT GND TO TAXI. I DID AND TAXIED BACK TO RWY 26 LISTENING TO THE GND FREQ. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PLANE IN THE HOLD SHORT AREA AND PASSED IT GOING TO THE HOLD SHORT LINE. WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE HOLD SHORT LINE; I SWITCHED TO THE TWR AND WAITED FOR A MIN OR SO. I WAS TALKING TO MY PAX AND HAD NO HURRY TO TAKE OFF. AT THE SAME TIME; A PLANE WAS TAKING OFF. SUDDENLY; I HEARD SOMEBODY TALKING TO THE TWR. I ASSUMED THAT WAS THE PLANE BEHIND ME (BUT DO NOT REMEMBER IF IT WAS OR NOT). SO I HURRIED UP AND CALLED THE TWR. THE TWR RESPONDED AND I RESPONDED BACK. AS I WAS PREPARING THE PLANE FOR A POS HOLD AND MOVING TOWARDS THE RWY I SAW A PLANE COMING TO LAND AT ABOUT 1/2 A MI. SO I STOPPED 1/2 THE WAY TO THE RWY AND CALLED THE TWR TO CHK IF SHE GAVE ME A HOLD SHORT OR POS HOLD INSTRUCTIONS. I HONESTLY DO NOT REMEMBER AND I STAYED OFF THE RWY. I THINK I WAS ABOUT 10 YARDS FROM THE RWY. SHE ASKED ME TO GO BACK BEHIND THE HOLD SHORT LINE BUT I PREFERRED TO STAY STILL BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT MUCH ROOM TO MOVE BACK AND ALSO I THOUGHT THAT STAYING STILL WAS BETTER FOR THE COMING PLANE. THE CTLR ASKED THE INCOMING PLANE TO GO AROUND. I DO NOT THINK THE PLT EVEN NOTICED ME BECAUSE I WAS NOT ON THE RWY. IT SOUNDED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHY. AFTER THE PLT WENT AROUND I DID MY MANEUVER TO GET BACK BEHIND THE LINE. WHAT CAUSED THE PROB: I WAS DISTRACTED TALKING TO MY PAX AND ASSUMED THAT WE WERE THE ONLY ONE AT THE ARPT. I THINK I DID NOT PAY ENOUGH ATTN. WHAT CAN I DO TO PREVENT THE PROB: I THINK PEOPLE TEND TO BECOME COMFORTABLE AND WE DO NOT PAY AS MUCH ATTN DURING REPETITIVE SITS. I HAVE TO PAY MORE ATTN. ALSO; I WILL INSTRUCT MY PAX NOT TO INTERFERE WITH MY FLYING.
