Narrative:

While taxiing to active runway 22 I announced crossing runway 12. After crossing runway 12 the pilot of the bonanza radioed that we crossed runway 12 which was the active runway which he was using. Other aircraft were using runway 22 and it was favored due to local winds ( I was taxiing to runway 22, held short of runway 12 and watched for traffic then crossed.) as I crossed runway 12 the other pilot radioed and I acknowledged. After I acknowledged crossing runway 12, the other pilot stated it was a near accident. I heard another pilot state he witnessed the incident. I was trying to be extra careful, because I sensed no order to traffic patterns at hyi. There were several planes in the local pattern and the traffic situation lacked any coordination. Prior to landing I noticed 3 aircraft, while I was enroute and circling to land, which were 'selecting' different runways. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter would like to see if there was a way to give the unicom radio operators more responsibility to be able to select the active runway. This would avoid the confusion that is now present when you have an airport with many intersecting runways and allow aircraft to use several runways for landing and or departing.

Title: AFTER ANNOUNCING HIS INTENTIONS, ACFT X TAXIS ACROSS AN ACTIVE RWY AS ACFT Y WAS ON HIS LNDG ROLL.

Narrative: WHILE TAXIING TO ACTIVE RWY 22 I ANNOUNCED CROSSING RWY 12. AFTER CROSSING RWY 12 THE PLT OF THE BONANZA RADIOED THAT WE CROSSED RWY 12 WHICH WAS THE ACTIVE RWY WHICH HE WAS USING. OTHER ACFT WERE USING RWY 22 AND IT WAS FAVORED DUE TO LOCAL WINDS ( I WAS TAXIING TO RWY 22, HELD SHORT OF RWY 12 AND WATCHED FOR TFC THEN CROSSED.) AS I CROSSED RWY 12 THE OTHER PLT RADIOED AND I ACKNOWLEDGED. AFTER I ACKNOWLEDGED CROSSING RWY 12, THE OTHER PLT STATED IT WAS A NEAR ACCIDENT. I HEARD ANOTHER PLT STATE HE WITNESSED THE INCIDENT. I WAS TRYING TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL, BECAUSE I SENSED NO ORDER TO TFC PATTERNS AT HYI. THERE WERE SEVERAL PLANES IN THE LOCAL PATTERN AND THE TFC SITUATION LACKED ANY COORDINATION. PRIOR TO LNDG I NOTICED 3 ACFT, WHILE I WAS ENROUTE AND CIRCLING TO LAND, WHICH WERE 'SELECTING' DIFFERENT RWYS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A WAY TO GIVE THE UNICOM RADIO OPERATORS MORE RESPONSIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO SELECT THE ACTIVE RWY. THIS WOULD AVOID THE CONFUSION THAT IS NOW PRESENT WHEN YOU HAVE AN ARPT WITH MANY INTERSECTING RWYS AND ALLOW ACFT TO USE SEVERAL RWYS FOR LNDG AND OR DEPARTING.
