Narrative:

While taxiing at frg airport from parking to runway 32, the crew inadvertently taxied onto the active runway 32. While taxiing on G3 the crew missed the turnoff at taxiway a and continued along taxiway A4 onto the active. The confusion stemmed from the intersection of txwys G3, a, and A4, as taxiway A4 was much better illuminated than taxiway a. More adequate markings would help avoid confusion for unfamiliar pilots at night. At the conclusion of the flight, the captain telephoned the tower at frg and discussed the incursion. The controller agreed the intersection was difficult to navigation at night for unfamiliar pilots.
