Narrative:

Our flight was holding short of runway 23L at hopkins international. I was the PF during the leg and as I was adjusting the height of my seat for departure the tower called us with instructions. I missed part of the tower's transmission, in fact, all I had heard was '23L' from tower. The captain, who was handling the radio for the leg then read back 'position and hold 23L.' I then began a slow taxi towards runway 23L. As I neared the runway the tower responded with 'beech jet hold position' which we immediately did. A B737 on about 3/4 mi final executed a go around because of our proximity to the runway. We did not taxi onto the runway at any time, however, we did cross the hold short line for runway 23L. The captain then said to tower 'I read back position and hold' the tower then gave us takeoff instructions. The entire problem was caused by miscom between my captain and the tower. My seat adjustment also caused me to miss the initial instruction from tower. My assumption that the captain's readback was correct was also contributing. There was also no correction from tower for the missed readback. Supplemental information from acn 335683: while awaiting departure of our flight from cleveland-hopkins airport, I heard the tower controller instruct us to 'taxi into position and hold on runway 23L.' I read back 'position and hold on runway 23L,' at which point the first officer, who was flying this leg of the flight, began a slow taxi toward the runway. Before the aircraft reached the runway, tower radioed 'beech jet, hold position. You are past the hold short lines.' at this point, tower told a B737, who was on short final, to execute a go around due to our close proximity to the runway. I believe this incident occurred due to miscom between myself and tower controller. At no time did the tower controller correct my readback regarding 'position and hold on runway 23L.' at no time did our aircraft encroach the runway during the incident.

Title: FLC OF A CORP JET FAILED TO HOLD SHORT AT THE HOLD SHORT RWY LINE RESULTING IN CAUSING ANOTHER ACFT TO BE SENT AROUND BY TWR.

Narrative: OUR FLT WAS HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 23L AT HOPKINS INTL. I WAS THE PF DURING THE LEG AND AS I WAS ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF MY SEAT FOR DEP THE TWR CALLED US WITH INSTRUCTIONS. I MISSED PART OF THE TWR'S XMISSION, IN FACT, ALL I HAD HEARD WAS '23L' FROM TWR. THE CAPT, WHO WAS HANDLING THE RADIO FOR THE LEG THEN READ BACK 'POS AND HOLD 23L.' I THEN BEGAN A SLOW TAXI TOWARDS RWY 23L. AS I NEARED THE RWY THE TWR RESPONDED WITH 'BEECH JET HOLD POS' WHICH WE IMMEDIATELY DID. A B737 ON ABOUT 3/4 MI FINAL EXECUTED A GAR BECAUSE OF OUR PROX TO THE RWY. WE DID NOT TAXI ONTO THE RWY AT ANY TIME, HOWEVER, WE DID CROSS THE HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 23L. THE CAPT THEN SAID TO TWR 'I READ BACK POS AND HOLD' THE TWR THEN GAVE US TKOF INSTRUCTIONS. THE ENTIRE PROB WAS CAUSED BY MISCOM BTWN MY CAPT AND THE TWR. MY SEAT ADJUSTMENT ALSO CAUSED ME TO MISS THE INITIAL INSTRUCTION FROM TWR. MY ASSUMPTION THAT THE CAPT'S READBACK WAS CORRECT WAS ALSO CONTRIBUTING. THERE WAS ALSO NO CORRECTION FROM TWR FOR THE MISSED READBACK. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 335683: WHILE AWAITING DEP OF OUR FLT FROM CLEVELAND-HOPKINS ARPT, I HEARD THE TWR CTLR INSTRUCT US TO 'TAXI INTO POS AND HOLD ON RWY 23L.' I READ BACK 'POS AND HOLD ON RWY 23L,' AT WHICH POINT THE FO, WHO WAS FLYING THIS LEG OF THE FLT, BEGAN A SLOW TAXI TOWARD THE RWY. BEFORE THE ACFT REACHED THE RWY, TWR RADIOED 'BEECH JET, HOLD POS. YOU ARE PAST THE HOLD SHORT LINES.' AT THIS POINT, TWR TOLD A B737, WHO WAS ON SHORT FINAL, TO EXECUTE A GAR DUE TO OUR CLOSE PROX TO THE RWY. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED DUE TO MISCOM BTWN MYSELF AND TWR CTLR. AT NO TIME DID THE TWR CTLR CORRECT MY READBACK REGARDING 'POS AND HOLD ON RWY 23L.' AT NO TIME DID OUR ACFT ENCROACH THE RWY DURING THE INCIDENT.
