PLT CROSSED AN ACTIVE RWY WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative

THE CLRNC WAS TO TAXI TO APCH END OF RWY 17. I TAXIED OUT OF THE GA RAMP AND TOOK A L ON THE TXWY HEADED MOST TOWARD THE RWY. A MOONEY HAD EXITED THE RWY AND WAS HEADED TOWARD ME. I RADIOED GND THAT I HAD THE MOONEY IN SIGHT AND I WOULD KEEP WELL TO THE R. THE GND CTLR DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY XMISSION; WHICH ISN'T COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ORDINARY; AND THE MOONEY AND I PASSED AND CONTINUED OUR RESPECTIVE WAYS. A FEW SECONDS LATER I CROSSED THE DEP END OF RWY 17 (THE TXWY FOR RWY 17/35 IS ON THE W SIDE OF THE RWY) AND CONTINUED NBOUND FOR THE DEP END. ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY UP THE TXWY; GND CALLED WONDERING WHERE I WAS AND I TOLD HIM. HE THEN INQUIRED AS TO HOW I GOT THERE AND THAT IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE MISCOM. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE ASSUMED I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE FIELD PROCS (MY AIRPLANE IS A REGULAR AT THE FIELD BUT I WAS NOT AND WHILE I MADE MYSELF KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT RWYS; ETC; IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW ALL UNPUBLISHED PROCS. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: IN THE APCH PLATES THERE IS NO RWY MAP EXCEPT WHAT IS ON THE INSET OF THE PLATES THEMSELVES. THIS INSET DOES NOT SHOW MUCH DETAIL AND; WHILE BETTER THAN NOTHING; IS WHAT I USED FOR TXWY NAV. BECAUSE OF THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO OVERFLY THE TXWY; I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THOSE TXWYS AND RWYS WERE CURRENTLY FOR MIL USE ONLY AND THEREFORE DID NOT CONSIDER THEM FOR USE. GND CTL DIDN'T RESPOND TO TFC IN SIGHT CALL ON TXWY; WHICH WOULD HAVE ALERTED HIM TO THE FACT THAT THERE HAD BEEN A MISCOM BEFORE IT BECAME A PROB. HUMAN PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS. SINCE I WAS NEW TO THE FIELD; I SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR EXPLANATION OF PROCS. EVEN THOUGH I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD THE CLRNC I SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION. EVEN THOUGH A CLRNC TO THE APCH END OF RWY 17 WOULD MEAN CROSS ALL RWYS AND HOLD SHORT OF THE APCH END OF RWY 17; IT WOULD STILL BE NONSTANDARD TO CROSS THE RWY YOU ARE CLRED TO AND THE XING SHOULD HAVE BEEN VERIFIED BEFOREHAND. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: VERIFY CLRNC IF REMOTELY IN QUESTION. ASK TO HAVE NONSTANDARD PROCS EXPLAINED. OBTAIN A RESPONSE FROM THE CTLR FOR ANY INFO ISSUED OR REQUESTED.
