A RWY INCURSION WHEN AN EXPERIMENTAL 47-V PLT CROSSES THE HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 30L AT VGT; NV.

Narrative

THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE TAXIING FROM PARKING AREA TO RWY 30L AT VGT. WE WERE CLRED TO RWY 30L. I PLANNED TO USE THE TXWY ON THE PARKING APRON; THEN TO TXWY B VIA TXWY C TO RWY 30L. GND CTL DIRECTED US TO USE TXWY A; I TURNED TO USE THIS TXWY. A SHORT WHILE LATER; WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO USE TXWY B. BY THIS TIME; WE WERE PAST THE SIGNS FOR TXWY B. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS TXWY A WAS TAKING US TO CROSS RWY 30L; OUR MOMENTUM CARRIED US OVER THE HOLD LINE. WE DID NOT ENTER THE RWY PROPER. WE CALLED GND CTL AND WERE DIRECTED TO DO A 180 DEG TURN AND PROCEED TO TXWY B. I FEEL THE INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A BREAKDOWN IN COM IN THE DIRECTIONS I WAS TO FOLLOW AND I WAS TOO SLOW TO STOP BEFORE THE HOLD LINE AND STRAIGHTEN THE SIT OUT. THINGS DONE TO PREVENT SUCH AN EVENT THAT FAILED TO PREVENT THIS INCIDENT: 1) I HAVE ONLY FLOWN WITH A CFI AT VGT TO PREVENT ERRORS DUE TO MY LOW CURRENT FLYING TIME. 2) WE HAD AN ARPT DIAGRAM CARD. 3) I READ BACK THE GND CTL INSTRUCTIONS; AS I UNDERSTOOD THEM. THE SECTION OF TXWY A WE USED IS VERY SHORT. TO HELP PREVENT SUCH INCIDENTS; ONE SHOULD BE ATTUNED TO THE TXWY INTXNS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE VERY CLR. AVOIDING THIS AREA BY USING THE APRON TXWY WOULD; I BELIEVE; HELP PREVENT THE CONFUSION WE EXPERIENCED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 538567: I BELIEVE THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE THE PROB IS MORE AWARENESS OF ARPT DIAGRAMS AND BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF ARPT SIGNAGE. THE FLC SHOULD KNOW OR ASK.
