Narrative:

I got taxi instructions to repos aircraft to main ramp to pick up a passenger. We were to take taxiway D, hold short of runway 6. The other pilot started to taxi and the closest way was to taxi down runway 6, which we did. By the time I realized my error, we were holding short of the active runways (runway 30 and runway 34). Ground did not catch our error. I should have paid better attention to what I was doing and should have been more serious about taxiing across the airport. I was too lax, and did not have the airport chart out, nor did I confirm with the pilot what we were supposed to do.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: SMA PLTS UTILIZE A RWY FOR TAXI WITHOUT CLRNC AT PWK.

Narrative: I GOT TAXI INSTRUCTIONS TO REPOS ACFT TO MAIN RAMP TO PICK UP A PAX. WE WERE TO TAKE TXWY D, HOLD SHORT OF RWY 6. THE OTHER PLT STARTED TO TAXI AND THE CLOSEST WAY WAS TO TAXI DOWN RWY 6, WHICH WE DID. BY THE TIME I REALIZED MY ERROR, WE WERE HOLDING SHORT OF THE ACTIVE RWYS (RWY 30 AND RWY 34). GND DID NOT CATCH OUR ERROR. I SHOULD HAVE PAID BETTER ATTN TO WHAT I WAS DOING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUS ABOUT TAXIING ACROSS THE ARPT. I WAS TOO LAX, AND DID NOT HAVE THE ARPT CHART OUT, NOR DID I CONFIRM WITH THE PLT WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.
