PA28 CROSSES RWY AT LAF WITHOUT AN APPARENT ATC CLRNC.

Narrative

THE FOLLOWING TOOK PLACE AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY ARPT (LAF). I WAS HOLDING BEHIND AN ARCHER AND AWAITING CLRNC TO CROSS RWY 10 AND TAXI TO THE RAMP. I WAS HOLDING ON TXWY B. AFTER HOLDING FOR ABOUT 10 MINS THE ARCHER IN FRONT WAS GIVEN CLRNC TO CROSS RWY 10. I MOVED UP TO THE HOLD SHORT POS AND WAS VERY SOON GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO CROSS RWY 10. PREVIOUS TO THIS CLRNC MY CALL SIGN WAS OFTEN REPEATED BY CTL INCORRECTLY. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE INCORRECT CALLS BUT USUALLY 'ARCHER' WAS USED INSTEAD OF 'ARROW' AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE FIRST 2 NUMBERS WERE SOMETIMES WRONG BUT USUALLY THE ENDING WAS RIGHT. ANYWAY; WHEN GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO CROSS OR WHEN I UNDERSTOOD I HAD BEEN GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO CROSS; I STATED 'ARROW XXXX XING RWY 10.' IN JUST A SHORT TIME; THE AIR WAVES WERE FILLED WITH 'STOP; STOP; STOP.' BY THEN I WAS ACROSS THE RWY AND THE GND CTLR TOLD ME TO TELEPHONE THE TWR AFTER I PARKED ON THE RAMP. I DID THIS AND HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE WOMAN THAT ANSWERED AT THE TWR. SHE WAS THE SUPVR. I TOLD HER I HAD HEARD A CLRNC AND REPEATED THE CLRNC BEFORE XING. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW BUT WOULD REVIEW THE TAPES. AT THE TIME OF MY ALLEGED GND INCIDENT; THE GND CTLR WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY UPSET WITH A SKYHAWK WHOSE PLT WAS IMPROPERLY TAXIING NEAR THE RAMP WITHOUT ANY CLRNC AND WITHOUT ANY 2-WAY RADIO CONTACT WITH THE CTLR. THIS INCIDENT SEEMED TO HAVE THE CTLR PRETTY SHOOK UP. THINGS WERE VERY TENSE TO SAY THE LEAST. THE LAF ARPT WAS BUSY AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF RADIO COM GOING ON BTWN THE PLTS AND GND CTL. WHEN I PARKED AT THE RAMP; 2 OTHER PLTS WERE DISCUSSING HOW CONFUSING THE SIT WAS AT THE ARPT THAT DAY. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH; I TAKE A GREAT DEAL OF PRIDE IN MY PRIVILEGE TO OWN AND OPERATE MY AIRPLANE. I SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME READING AND STUDYING ABOUT ALL FACETS OF SAFE OP. I'VE COMPLETED PHASE V OF WINGS AND ATTEND PLT ORGANIZATION SEMINARS WHEN CLOSE BY. IF I'VE LEARNED ANYTHING IT'S BEEN THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER PROC; WHILE MOVING ON THE GND AT A CTLED ARPT.
