Narrative:
After doing the ILS to runway 4R, and landing at ewr, I was told by tower to taxi via high speed taxiway J, and to hold short of taxiway south. That instruction was read back and complied with. I taxied on taxiway J which crosses runway 4L. Runway 4L was active for departing aircraft. I inadvertently crossed an active runway, and although I was instructed to taxi on taxiway J to taxiway south, the crossing of runway 4L should have been confirmed. Taxi instructions across runways should be verified with tower or ground control.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: PLT FAILED TO CONFIRM TAXI INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE XING AN ACTIVE RWY. PARALLEL RWYS. UNAUTH RWY XING.
Narrative: AFTER DOING THE ILS TO RWY 4R, AND LNDG AT EWR, I WAS TOLD BY TWR TO TAXI VIA HIGH SPD TXWY J, AND TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY S. THAT INSTRUCTION WAS READ BACK AND COMPLIED WITH. I TAXIED ON TXWY J WHICH CROSSES RWY 4L. RWY 4L WAS ACTIVE FOR DEPARTING ACFT. I INADVERTENTLY CROSSED AN ACTIVE RWY, AND ALTHOUGH I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAXI ON TXWY J TO TXWY S, THE XING OF RWY 4L SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED. TAXI INSTRUCTIONS ACROSS RWYS SHOULD BE VERIFIED WITH TWR OR GND CTL.
