Narrative:

After landing at nighttime, we were given instructions by the ground controller to taxi and hold short of the runway we just landed on (for a cross back over to the FBO). As we were taxiing, we noticed a problem with our right thrust reverser. In an attempt to analyze our problem and deal with communication to our mechanics and office, we became somewhat distraction. In our very slow taxiing, we turned on a reverse high speed taxiway, and saw faint lines, but the hold short lines were not on the airport diagram, and they were at a great distance from the runway still. We proceeded to hold short of the runway, looking for the runway hold short lines, but they never came up, so we stopped well before the runway. After we stopped, the ground controllers confirmed we were holding short of the runway, informed us we were past the hold short line, and that an airliner would have to do a high altitude cautionary missed approach. This was a classic example of not maintaining priorities with the aircraft in motion. This was also a lesson in the fact that you should confirm that which seems unusual or questionable.

Title: AFTER LNDG, CPR JET CREW BECAME DISTR WITH A THRUST REVERSER AND CROSSED RWY HOLD SHORT LINES.

Narrative: AFTER LNDG AT NIGHTTIME, WE WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS BY THE GND CTLR TO TAXI AND HOLD SHORT OF THE RWY WE JUST LANDED ON (FOR A CROSS BACK OVER TO THE FBO). AS WE WERE TAXIING, WE NOTICED A PROB WITH OUR R THRUST REVERSER. IN AN ATTEMPT TO ANALYZE OUR PROB AND DEAL WITH COM TO OUR MECHS AND OFFICE, WE BECAME SOMEWHAT DISTR. IN OUR VERY SLOW TAXIING, WE TURNED ON A REVERSE HIGH SPD TXWY, AND SAW FAINT LINES, BUT THE HOLD SHORT LINES WERE NOT ON THE ARPT DIAGRAM, AND THEY WERE AT A GREAT DISTANCE FROM THE RWY STILL. WE PROCEEDED TO HOLD SHORT OF THE RWY, LOOKING FOR THE RWY HOLD SHORT LINES, BUT THEY NEVER CAME UP, SO WE STOPPED WELL BEFORE THE RWY. AFTER WE STOPPED, THE GND CTLRS CONFIRMED WE WERE HOLDING SHORT OF THE RWY, INFORMED US WE WERE PAST THE HOLD SHORT LINE, AND THAT AN AIRLINER WOULD HAVE TO DO A HIGH ALT CAUTIONARY MISSED APCH. THIS WAS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF NOT MAINTAINING PRIORITIES WITH THE ACFT IN MOTION. THIS WAS ALSO A LESSON IN THE FACT THAT YOU SHOULD CONFIRM THAT WHICH SEEMS UNUSUAL OR QUESTIONABLE.
