Narrative:

Taxing for runway 21 in flg, the first officer and I noticed a herd of prairie dogs scurrying across the taxiway. Momentarily distracted by this unusual sight, I rolled past the faintly painted hold short line. Stopping about 6 ft past the first hold line, I noticed that there was another dimly painted hold line in front of me. Since there are two hold lines on this taxiway and neither one of them are marked by a holding position sign, I am not sure which hold line to use. The only hold line with a hold position sign on it is coming out of the run up area. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that, although not depicted on the runway chart, 'papa' the parallel contains a loop at the approach end of runway 21. The reporter elected to continue straight ahead on 'papa' instead of using the loop, this is where he encountered the faded hold lines. Supplemental information: a 'kflg' tower specialists stated that a loop, 'alpha loop' has been constructed at the end of runway 21 which is the normal taxi route. The old parallel is still there, including the faded hold line, however it is not maintained by the airport. This explains the faded hold lines. There is also a 'gulf loop' at the approach end of runway 3. These loops are the beginning of a new parallel which will replace the existing 'papa' in order to accommodate larger aircraft.

Title: A DHC-8 CREW TAXIED PAST THE HOLD SHORT LINE DURING TAXI FOR TKOF.

Narrative: TAXING FOR RWY 21 IN FLG, THE FO AND I NOTICED A HERD OF PRAIRIE DOGS SCURRYING ACROSS THE TXWY. MOMENTARILY DISTRACTED BY THIS UNUSUAL SIGHT, I ROLLED PAST THE FAINTLY PAINTED HOLD SHORT LINE. STOPPING ABOUT 6 FT PAST THE FIRST HOLD LINE, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER DIMLY PAINTED HOLD LINE IN FRONT OF ME. SINCE THERE ARE TWO HOLD LINES ON THIS TXWY AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE MARKED BY A HOLDING POSITION SIGN, I AM NOT SURE WHICH HOLD LINE TO USE. THE ONLY HOLD LINE WITH A HOLD POSITION SIGN ON IT IS COMING OUT OF THE RUN UP AREA. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATES THAT, ALTHOUGH NOT DEPICTED ON THE RWY CHART, 'PAPA' THE PARALLEL CONTAINS A LOOP AT THE APCH END OF RWY 21. THE RPTR ELECTED TO CONTINUE STRAIGHT AHEAD ON 'PAPA' INSTEAD OF USING THE LOOP, THIS IS WHERE HE ENCOUNTERED THE FADED HOLD LINES. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO: A 'KFLG' TWR SPECIALISTS STATED THAT A LOOP, 'ALPHA LOOP' HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED AT THE END OF RWY 21 WHICH IS THE NORMAL TAXI RTE. THE OLD PARALLEL IS STILL THERE, INCLUDING THE FADED HOLD LINE, HOWEVER IT IS NOT MAINTAINED BY THE ARPT. THIS EXPLAINS THE FADED HOLD LINES. THERE IS ALSO A 'GULF LOOP' AT THE APCH END OF RWY 3. THESE LOOPS ARE THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PARALLEL WHICH WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING 'PAPA' IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE LARGER ACFT.
