Narrative:

Uncontrolled airport. Aircraft #1 crossed active runway while aircraft #2 was on short final for the runway. Aircraft #2 executed a go around. Horizontal miss distance estimated at 1000-1500 ft. In 40 yrs of flying, I have never caused another aircraft to go around. Very embarrassing! Why did it happen? I radioed my intent to cross and looked left first, saw nothing, then looked right. Started to roll across active runway. Then looked left again, saw aircraft #2 high and slightly outside the runway threshold. Applied full power to cross 65 ft runway. I looked, but did not see -- why I do not know. Most likely it occurred because my taxi direction to the only crossing intersection was with my back to the landing traffic on a runway that is parallel to the taxiway. Thus requiring a 90 degree turn to cross, which is where I looked. From now on, I will recognize that intersection for the hazard it is and take additional precaution in crossing.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: BEECH CRAFT PLT CROSSES RWY AT UNCTLED ARPT CAUSING GAR BY ACFT ON SHORT FINAL.

Narrative: UNCTLED ARPT. ACFT #1 CROSSED ACTIVE RWY WHILE ACFT #2 WAS ON SHORT FINAL FOR THE RWY. ACFT #2 EXECUTED A GAR. HORIZ MISS DISTANCE ESTIMATED AT 1000-1500 FT. IN 40 YRS OF FLYING, I HAVE NEVER CAUSED ANOTHER ACFT TO GO AROUND. VERY EMBARRASSING! WHY DID IT HAPPEN? I RADIOED MY INTENT TO CROSS AND LOOKED L FIRST, SAW NOTHING, THEN LOOKED R. STARTED TO ROLL ACROSS ACTIVE RWY. THEN LOOKED L AGAIN, SAW ACFT #2 HIGH AND SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE THE RWY THRESHOLD. APPLIED FULL PWR TO CROSS 65 FT RWY. I LOOKED, BUT DID NOT SEE -- WHY I DO NOT KNOW. MOST LIKELY IT OCCURRED BECAUSE MY TAXI DIRECTION TO THE ONLY XING INTXN WAS WITH MY BACK TO THE LNDG TFC ON A RWY THAT IS PARALLEL TO THE TXWY. THUS REQUIRING A 90 DEG TURN TO CROSS, WHICH IS WHERE I LOOKED. FROM NOW ON, I WILL RECOGNIZE THAT INTXN FOR THE HAZARD IT IS AND TAKE ADDITIONAL PRECAUTION IN XING.
