Narrative:

Aircraft X departed oma with 2 crew 2 passenger IFR to pwk. Aircraft X landed at pwk on runway 16. The flight was to pick up 2 more passenger and continue on to tpa. The flight was non eventful until turning off runway 16 at pwk and taxiing in. Tower instructed aircraft X to turn left on taxiway D, use taxiway a, taxi on runway 12/30. Aircraft X did exit runway 16 turning left on taxiway D, then on taxiway a and then onto runway 12/30. Aircraft X turned left on taxiway 12/30 aircraft X did turning left on twxy 12-/30 instead of right because on landing rollout the first officer, non flying crew member, saw a hangar on the west side of the field thinking it was the FBO. The captain also thought the FBO was on the west side. Both pilots are unfamiliar with the airport and it was the first time the crew had been to pwk together. Contributing to the incident having the aircraft taxi down a runway was that the ground controller wanted to issue the IFR flight plan while the aircraft taxied to the FBO. One time the crew told the ground controller to wait until they completed their after landing checklist. The first officer then started to copy the IFR outbound when aircraft X turned left on runway 12/30 instead of right. As the first officer copied the clearance, the captain continued to taxi down runway 12/30, not holding short of runway 6/24 or runway 16/34 since instructed to taxi down runway 12/30 to the FBO without receiving any hold short instructions. The captain (me) taxiing, should have listened to his gut feelings and stopped the taxi, instruct the first officer to clarify 'cross all runways to the FBO.' unfortunately, this did not occur and the beech jet crossed both runways thinking the FBO was in that direction. Secondary contributing factors: 1) copilot was on right side of aircraft which was the side of seeing landing and departing aircraft better. The first officer was inside the aircraft copying an IFR clearance. 2) the ground controller was reading an IFR clearance instead of looking outside the control tower to see the aircraft turn the wrong direction on runway 12/30. Actually, as aircraft X was entering the intersection of runway 12/30, runway 16/34, controller said 'stop, stop, stop.' be specific! Aircraft X stop! Hold short runway 16/34! Fortunately a single engine trainer was well down the runway (runway 16) on its takeoff roll and not a jet or closer aircraft. The captain will now clarify taxi instructions, especially at an unfamiliar airport and FBO. No more copying clrncs while taxiing at high density, unfamiliar airports.

Title: BE40 TURNS WRONG DIRECTION ON PWK RWY 12, XING RWY 16 WITH ACFT ON TKOF ROLL.

Narrative: ACFT X DEPARTED OMA WITH 2 CREW 2 PAX IFR TO PWK. ACFT X LANDED AT PWK ON RWY 16. THE FLT WAS TO PICK UP 2 MORE PAX AND CONTINUE ON TO TPA. THE FLT WAS NON EVENTFUL UNTIL TURNING OFF RWY 16 AT PWK AND TAXIING IN. TWR INSTRUCTED ACFT X TO TURN L ON TXWY D, USE TXWY A, TAXI ON RWY 12/30. ACFT X DID EXIT RWY 16 TURNING L ON TXWY D, THEN ON TXWY A AND THEN ONTO RWY 12/30. ACFT X TURNED L ON TXWY 12/30 ACFT X DID TURNING L ON TWXY 12-/30 INSTEAD OF R BECAUSE ON LNDG ROLLOUT THE FO, NON FLYING CREW MEMBER, SAW A HANGAR ON THE W SIDE OF THE FIELD THINKING IT WAS THE FBO. THE CAPT ALSO THOUGHT THE FBO WAS ON THE W SIDE. BOTH PLTS ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE ARPT AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CREW HAD BEEN TO PWK TOGETHER. CONTRIBUTING TO THE INCIDENT HAVING THE ACFT TAXI DOWN A RWY WAS THAT THE GND CTLR WANTED TO ISSUE THE IFR FLT PLAN WHILE THE ACFT TAXIED TO THE FBO. ONE TIME THE CREW TOLD THE GND CTLR TO WAIT UNTIL THEY COMPLETED THEIR AFTER LNDG CHKLIST. THE FO THEN STARTED TO COPY THE IFR OUTBOUND WHEN ACFT X TURNED L ON RWY 12/30 INSTEAD OF R. AS THE FO COPIED THE CLRNC, THE CAPT CONTINUED TO TAXI DOWN RWY 12/30, NOT HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 6/24 OR RWY 16/34 SINCE INSTRUCTED TO TAXI DOWN RWY 12/30 TO THE FBO WITHOUT RECEIVING ANY HOLD SHORT INSTRUCTIONS. THE CAPT (ME) TAXIING, SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO HIS GUT FEELINGS AND STOPPED THE TAXI, INSTRUCT THE FO TO CLARIFY 'CROSS ALL RWYS TO THE FBO.' UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DID NOT OCCUR AND THE BEECH JET CROSSED BOTH RWYS THINKING THE FBO WAS IN THAT DIRECTION. SECONDARY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) COPLT WAS ON R SIDE OF ACFT WHICH WAS THE SIDE OF SEEING LNDG AND DEPARTING ACFT BETTER. THE FO WAS INSIDE THE ACFT COPYING AN IFR CLRNC. 2) THE GND CTLR WAS READING AN IFR CLRNC INSTEAD OF LOOKING OUTSIDE THE CTL TWR TO SEE THE ACFT TURN THE WRONG DIRECTION ON RWY 12/30. ACTUALLY, AS ACFT X WAS ENTERING THE INTXN OF RWY 12/30, RWY 16/34, CTLR SAID 'STOP, STOP, STOP.' BE SPECIFIC! ACFT X STOP! HOLD SHORT RWY 16/34! FORTUNATELY A SINGLE ENG TRAINER WAS WELL DOWN THE RWY (RWY 16) ON ITS TKOF ROLL AND NOT A JET OR CLOSER ACFT. THE CAPT WILL NOW CLARIFY TAXI INSTRUCTIONS, ESPECIALLY AT AN UNFAMILIAR ARPT AND FBO. NO MORE COPYING CLRNCS WHILE TAXIING AT HIGH DENSITY, UNFAMILIAR ARPTS.
