Narrative:

While taxiing out to the active at bgm, I turned onto access taxiway from the parallel taxiway for an intersection takeoff. I did not realize nor see the hold line until I had already made the turn. I have never seen a hold line on the edge of the parallel taxiway as it is usually further and closer to the runway. This is due to the short distance between the runway and the parallel. No other aircraft were involved. As this is out of the norm, some clue would have been helpful as the norm is to turn then look for hold line so as not to block parallel.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A PA31 PLT, TAXIING FOR TKOF AT BGM, TAXIED PAST A HOLD SHORT LINE WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: WHILE TAXIING OUT TO THE ACTIVE AT BGM, I TURNED ONTO ACCESS TXWY FROM THE PARALLEL TXWY FOR AN INTXN TKOF. I DID NOT REALIZE NOR SEE THE HOLD LINE UNTIL I HAD ALREADY MADE THE TURN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A HOLD LINE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARALLEL TXWY AS IT IS USUALLY FURTHER AND CLOSER TO THE RWY. THIS IS DUE TO THE SHORT DISTANCE BTWN THE RWY AND THE PARALLEL. NO OTHER ACFT WERE INVOLVED. AS THIS IS OUT OF THE NORM, SOME CLUE WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL AS THE NORM IS TO TURN THEN LOOK FOR HOLD LINE SO AS NOT TO BLOCK PARALLEL.
