Narrative:
The pilot advised ground control that run-up was complete and ready for takeoff. Ground instructed aircraft to taxi to runway 29 and monitor tower. Pilot responded 'going to tower.' pilot observed holding on runway 29. Tower sent traffic around and established contact with the C210. C210 taxied off runway. A position relief briefing was happening on local and coordinator position at the same time when this occurred. The tapes indicated that there was no readback of runway assignment which is required as well. Reference far part 7110.65 paragraph 3-7-2, the ground controller admitted to never noticing the situation, though the pilot appears to be in error, contributing factors in the cabin attendant were: 1) relief briefings simultaneously on cc and local control (distracting). 2) failure of ground controller to obtain appropriate readback as required. 3) failure to effectively scan by ground control. ATC could have prevented this as well, if appropriate readback had been obtained and better situational awareness maintained.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: C210 PLT TAXIES ONTO RWY AFTER BEING INSTRUCTED TO 'TAXI TO THE RWY.' AN ACFT ON FINAL WAS INSTRUCTED TO GO AROUND.
Narrative: THE PLT ADVISED GND CTL THAT RUN-UP WAS COMPLETE AND READY FOR TKOF. GND INSTRUCTED ACFT TO TAXI TO RWY 29 AND MONITOR TWR. PLT RESPONDED 'GOING TO TWR.' PLT OBSERVED HOLDING ON RWY 29. TWR SENT TFC AROUND AND ESTABLISHED CONTACT WITH THE C210. C210 TAXIED OFF RWY. A POS RELIEF BRIEFING WAS HAPPENING ON LCL AND COORDINATOR POS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE TAPES INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO READBACK OF RWY ASSIGNMENT WHICH IS REQUIRED AS WELL. REF FAR PART 7110.65 PARAGRAPH 3-7-2, THE GND CTLR ADMITTED TO NEVER NOTICING THE SIT, THOUGH THE PLT APPEARS TO BE IN ERROR, CONTRIBUTING FACTORS IN THE CAB WERE: 1) RELIEF BRIEFINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY ON CC AND LC (DISTRACTING). 2) FAILURE OF GND CTLR TO OBTAIN APPROPRIATE READBACK AS REQUIRED. 3) FAILURE TO EFFECTIVELY SCAN BY GND CTL. ATC COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS AS WELL, IF APPROPRIATE READBACK HAD BEEN OBTAINED AND BETTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS MAINTAINED.
