Narrative:
The incident occurred during the landing phase for a practice localizer back course approach to runway 06 at pne. Landing was to be a full stop so we could change pilots and do a few more practice approachs. The approach went fine, and shortly after reaching the MDA, I removed my view limiting device to commence a normal landing. We landed long, probably at least 1500 ft from the threshold. Shortly after the wheels touched down, the tower issued an instruction to hold short of intersecting runway 15 for landing traffic. Both myself and my safety pilot immediately began to look for the cross runway as I acknowledged the tower request. Within a few short seconds, we had already crossed the intersecting runway as the tower announced for a second time for us to hold short of runway 15. By then, it was too late as we realized we had just gone by the runway 15 intersection. Likewise, the tower had already instructed the other aircraft to do a go around. I feel that we were not given adequate time to plan to stop our aircraft by the requested intersection. This instruction should have been issued at least while on short final, not when we are already a good way down the runway with wheels down! The fact that it was night also made it more difficult to spot the cross runway amongst the many lights present at a large airport of this type. The airport was not that busy, and certainly a bit more spacing between arriving aircraft could also have prevented this from occurring.

Title: SMA ON LOC BACK COURSE APCH AT NIGHT INSTRUCTED TO HOLD SHORT OF INTERSECTING RWY AFTER LNDG AND DURING ROLLOUT. UNABLE.
Narrative: THE INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THE LNDG PHASE FOR A PRACTICE LOC BACK COURSE APCH TO RWY 06 AT PNE. LNDG WAS TO BE A FULL STOP SO WE COULD CHANGE PLTS AND DO A FEW MORE PRACTICE APCHS. THE APCH WENT FINE, AND SHORTLY AFTER REACHING THE MDA, I REMOVED MY VIEW LIMITING DEVICE TO COMMENCE A NORMAL LNDG. WE LANDED LONG, PROBABLY AT LEAST 1500 FT FROM THE THRESHOLD. SHORTLY AFTER THE WHEELS TOUCHED DOWN, THE TWR ISSUED AN INSTRUCTION TO HOLD SHORT OF INTERSECTING RWY 15 FOR LNDG TFC. BOTH MYSELF AND MY SAFETY PLT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO LOOK FOR THE CROSS RWY AS I ACKNOWLEDGED THE TWR REQUEST. WITHIN A FEW SHORT SECONDS, WE HAD ALREADY CROSSED THE INTERSECTING RWY AS THE TWR ANNOUNCED FOR A SECOND TIME FOR US TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 15. BY THEN, IT WAS TOO LATE AS WE REALIZED WE HAD JUST GONE BY THE RWY 15 INTXN. LIKEWISE, THE TWR HAD ALREADY INSTRUCTED THE OTHER ACFT TO DO A GAR. I FEEL THAT WE WERE NOT GIVEN ADEQUATE TIME TO PLAN TO STOP OUR ACFT BY THE REQUESTED INTXN. THIS INSTRUCTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED AT LEAST WHILE ON SHORT FINAL, NOT WHEN WE ARE ALREADY A GOOD WAY DOWN THE RWY WITH WHEELS DOWN! THE FACT THAT IT WAS NIGHT ALSO MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SPOT THE CROSS RWY AMONGST THE MANY LIGHTS PRESENT AT A LARGE ARPT OF THIS TYPE. THE ARPT WAS NOT THAT BUSY, AND CERTAINLY A BIT MORE SPACING BTWN ARRIVING ACFT COULD ALSO HAVE PREVENTED THIS FROM OCCURRING.
