Pilot narrative
Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ,
X, Y.
I had just gotten the SCAT tubing replaced. I was departing the repair station to get home quickly. The engine seemed louder than usual. The radio calls were being made but I was not focused on hearing them. I did my run up. Left mag seemed odd. I leaned the mix briefly. Someone said they were clear of the runway. I started to enter as I made my call. Then I heard someone saying they were on final and going around. I looked up thru my windshield and saw them climbing steeply. To prevent a recurrence I would turn up the volume on the radio and slow down my process and more thoughtfully remain aware of the situation.
