Narrative:

We had just landed runway 33L at bos. Tower instructed us to exit the runway onto taxiway Q and to contact ground control. We exited onto taxiway Q and switched to ground control frequency. The frequency was very congested as we stopped well before runway 4L/22R on taxiway Q. However, where I stopped was slightly past the hold short line. We remained stopped here and waited for a break in the transmission congestion to contact ground for further instructions to the ramp. Just as we were about to contact ground control, ground control contacted us and told us to pass behind an airliner taxiing on runway 4L/22R, and taxi to the ramp via taxiway K. To the best of my recollection runway 4L/22R was not being used for lndgs or departures. It was being used only for taxi. That is it. There was no incident or incursion, or any mention from ground control that I was slightly past the hold short line. After all, I stopped and remained well short of the runway 4L/22R, and a runway that wasn't being used for departures or takeoffs. In summary, I should have been more cautious and stopped before the hold short line, not slightly past it.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: BEECH JET 400 FO OVERSHOT RWY HOLD SHORT LINE DURING TAXI IN RESULTING IN NO COMMENT FROM TWR CTLR, OR KNOWN CONFLICT. THE RWY WAS NOT BEING USED FOR TKOFS OR LNDGS, BUT ONLY TAXI.

Narrative: WE HAD JUST LANDED RWY 33L AT BOS. TWR INSTRUCTED US TO EXIT THE RWY ONTO TXWY Q AND TO CONTACT GND CTL. WE EXITED ONTO TXWY Q AND SWITCHED TO GND CTL FREQ. THE FREQ WAS VERY CONGESTED AS WE STOPPED WELL BEFORE RWY 4L/22R ON TXWY Q. HOWEVER, WHERE I STOPPED WAS SLIGHTLY PAST THE HOLD SHORT LINE. WE REMAINED STOPPED HERE AND WAITED FOR A BREAK IN THE XMISSION CONGESTION TO CONTACT GND FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS TO THE RAMP. JUST AS WE WERE ABOUT TO CONTACT GND CTL, GND CTL CONTACTED US AND TOLD US TO PASS BEHIND AN AIRLINER TAXIING ON RWY 4L/22R, AND TAXI TO THE RAMP VIA TXWY K. TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION RWY 4L/22R WAS NOT BEING USED FOR LNDGS OR DEPS. IT WAS BEING USED ONLY FOR TAXI. THAT IS IT. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT OR INCURSION, OR ANY MENTION FROM GND CTL THAT I WAS SLIGHTLY PAST THE HOLD SHORT LINE. AFTER ALL, I STOPPED AND REMAINED WELL SHORT OF THE RWY 4L/22R, AND A RWY THAT WASN'T BEING USED FOR DEPS OR TKOFS. IN SUMMARY, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAUTIOUS AND STOPPED BEFORE THE HOLD SHORT LINE, NOT SLIGHTLY PAST IT.
