Narrative:

As we approached runway 18L we were told by tulsa tower to turn into the hold pad to let an airplane takeoff which was behind us. I then followed that airplane to the runway as no other airplanes were in sight. I realize now I had taxied to the runway without proper clearance. I will avoid making this mistake in the future by following ATC clrncs and not following what I assume ATC wants us to do.

Title: FK100 ACFT TAXIING WAS TURNED INTO A HOLD PAD TO ALLOW AN ACFT BEHIND TO PASS IN ORDER TO TKOF. RPTR CAPT CONTINUED TAXIING WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: AS WE APCHED RWY 18L WE WERE TOLD BY TULSA TWR TO TURN INTO THE HOLD PAD TO LET AN AIRPLANE TKOF WHICH WAS BEHIND US. I THEN FOLLOWED THAT AIRPLANE TO THE RWY AS NO OTHER AIRPLANES WERE IN SIGHT. I REALIZE NOW I HAD TAXIED TO THE RWY WITHOUT PROPER CLRNC. I WILL AVOID MAKING THIS MISTAKE IN THE FUTURE BY FOLLOWING ATC CLRNCS AND NOT FOLLOWING WHAT I ASSUME ATC WANTS US TO DO.
