Narrative:

Small aircraft approached yuma from the east, VFR. Approach control directed small aircraft to cross yuma at 1200 ft expect right traffic runway 17. About 10 mi out, directed to control tower. Small aircraft called tower and tower didn't respond. At 5 mi called tower again. Tower told small aircraft to stand by. At approximately 1 mi called tower again. Tower asked if we could land runway 26. Small aircraft responded negative. We were over the tower and about to cross runway 21L at the time. Tower advised heavy jet traffic departing runway 21R. Small aircraft crossed over runway 21L at 1200 ft. Tower cleared to land runway 17. I read back cleared to land runway 17 and flew downwind right traffic to runway 17. After landing I was rolling out crossing runway 21R, tower shouted that I was to hold short of runway 21R. Tower said clear runway 21R hold short of runway 21L. I stopped between runways 21R and 21L then when instructed, taxied back across runway 21R to FBO at west side of field. After getting fuel and while taxiing for departure, tower requested name of pilot and number of pilot. I asked what this was in regard to and was told that I had failed to hold short of runway 21R while landing on runway 17. I never heard or acknowledged a hold short direction. The first time I was aware of conflict was when tower asked me to expedite crossing of runway 21R. Tower stated F18's were landing runway 21R. If F18's were cleared to land while I was landing, tower failed to establish clear communication of conflict potential with me. Controller should not clear aircraft to land on intersecting runways unless and until absolute confirmation of any hold short requirements are communicated by all pilots involved. Second pilot and passenger aircraft stated that he never heard hold short clearance either! Asking aircraft to land and hold short of intersecting runway has high risk of conflict. Everyone would be much better served to have traffic go around instead of exposing everyone to a high potential of conflict. We do have time to be safe!

Title: RWY TRANSGRESSION INCIDENT.

Narrative: SMA APCHED YUMA FROM THE E, VFR. APCH CTL DIRECTED SMA TO CROSS YUMA AT 1200 FT EXPECT R TFC RWY 17. ABOUT 10 MI OUT, DIRECTED TO CTL TWR. SMA CALLED TWR AND TWR DIDN'T RESPOND. AT 5 MI CALLED TWR AGAIN. TWR TOLD SMA TO STAND BY. AT APPROX 1 MI CALLED TWR AGAIN. TWR ASKED IF WE COULD LAND RWY 26. SMA RESPONDED NEGATIVE. WE WERE OVER THE TWR AND ABOUT TO CROSS RWY 21L AT THE TIME. TWR ADVISED HVY JET TFC DEPARTING RWY 21R. SMA CROSSED OVER RWY 21L AT 1200 FT. TWR CLRED TO LAND RWY 17. I READ BACK CLRED TO LAND RWY 17 AND FLEW DOWNWIND R TFC TO RWY 17. AFTER LNDG I WAS ROLLING OUT XING RWY 21R, TWR SHOUTED THAT I WAS TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 21R. TWR SAID CLR RWY 21R HOLD SHORT OF RWY 21L. I STOPPED BTWN RWYS 21R AND 21L THEN WHEN INSTRUCTED, TAXIED BACK ACROSS RWY 21R TO FBO AT W SIDE OF FIELD. AFTER GETTING FUEL AND WHILE TAXIING FOR DEP, TWR REQUESTED NAME OF PLT AND NUMBER OF PLT. I ASKED WHAT THIS WAS IN REGARD TO AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD FAILED TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 21R WHILE LNDG ON RWY 17. I NEVER HEARD OR ACKNOWLEDGED A HOLD SHORT DIRECTION. THE FIRST TIME I WAS AWARE OF CONFLICT WAS WHEN TWR ASKED ME TO EXPEDITE XING OF RWY 21R. TWR STATED F18'S WERE LNDG RWY 21R. IF F18'S WERE CLRED TO LAND WHILE I WAS LNDG, TWR FAILED TO ESTABLISH CLR COM OF CONFLICT POTENTIAL WITH ME. CTLR SHOULD NOT CLR ACFT TO LAND ON INTERSECTING RWYS UNLESS AND UNTIL ABSOLUTE CONFIRMATION OF ANY HOLD SHORT REQUIREMENTS ARE COMMUNICATED BY ALL PLTS INVOLVED. SECOND PLT AND PAX ACFT STATED THAT HE NEVER HEARD HOLD SHORT CLRNC EITHER! ASKING ACFT TO LAND AND HOLD SHORT OF INTERSECTING RWY HAS HIGH RISK OF CONFLICT. EVERYONE WOULD BE MUCH BETTER SERVED TO HAVE TFC GAR INSTEAD OF EXPOSING EVERYONE TO A HIGH POTENTIAL OF CONFLICT. WE DO HAVE TIME TO BE SAFE!
