RWY INCURSION RWY 25R BY A B752 FLT CREW WHEN MAKING THE TIGHT TURN OFF RWY 30 TO TXWY D AT LGB; CA.

Narrative

IT WAS MY LEG GOING INTO LONG BEACH (LGB). THE SECOND AND FINAL LEG OF A 2-LEG; 8-HR DAY. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CAPT HAD FLOWN INTO LONG BEACH; AND MY SECOND TIME. ALONG WITH MY APCH BRIEFING; I BRIEFED THE CAPT THAT BASED ON MY LAST AND ONLY OTHER LNDG AT LGB; WE SHOULD EXPECT THE TWR TO GIVE US A L HAND TURN-OFF AFTER ROLLOUT; AND THERE WERE CERTAIN TXWYS THAT WERE CLOSED OR RESTR TO ACFT SMALLER THAN OUR B757. THE LNDG WAS NORMAL; AND UPON ROLLOUT; AS WE WERE XFERRING CTL OF THE ACFT FROM THE FO TO THE CAPT; THE TWR INSTRUCTED US TO USE TXWY D TO TXWY A FOR TURNOFF. THIS WAS CONFUSING; AS THE PROPER RTE WOULD BE TXWY A TO TXWY D. THE CAPT STOPPED THE ACFT ON THE RWY MOMENTARILY TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION; AND THE TWR CTLR INSTRUCTED US TO USE TXWY A; TO TXWY D. WE TURNED OFF RWY 30 AT TXWY A; THEN AN IMMEDIATE L ON TO TXWY D; WHEREUPON THE TWR CTLR INSTRUCTED US TO CALL GND. I PERSONALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A NON-STANDARD PROC; AS WE STILL HAD AN ACTIVE RWY TO CROSS BEFORE GETTING TO OUR PARKING RAMP. THE HDOF TO GND WAS GIVEN WITHOUT ANY HOLD-SHORT INSTRUCTIONS. BY THE TIME WE SWITCHED TO GND; WE HAD ROLLED THROUGH THE INTXN OF TXWY D AND RWY 25R. WE HAD JUST CROSSED THIS SAME RWY 1 MIN EARLIER ON OUR LNDG ROLLOUT. THE GND CTLR INSTRUCTED US TO USE TXWY G AND HOLD SHORT OF RWY 30. WE WERE THEN CLRED TO CROSS RWY 30 AND TAXI TO THE RAMP. AFTER LNDG; WE SPOKE TO THE TWR ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND HIS POS WAS THAT WE DID NOT CONTACT THE GND CTLR SOON ENOUGH BEFORE XING RWY 25R; AND WE DID NOT HAVE CLRNC TO DO SO. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THIS INCIDENT WERE: 1) THE CAPT'S FIRST TIME AT THIS ARPT; AND THE FO'S SECOND; RESULTING IN UNFAMILIARITY WITH THE LCL GND PROCS. 2) THE TWR GIVING TAXI INSTRUCTIONS WHILE WE WERE STILL IN THE ROLLOUT PHASE OF LNDG; AND VERBALLY CONFIRMING THE XFER OF ACFT CTL BTWN THE FO AND CAPT. 3) A JUXTAPOSITION OF TXWY IDENTIFIERS IN TWR'S INSTRUCTIONS; REQUIRING A CLARIFICATION. 4) A VERY TIGHT TURNOFF; FOLLOWED BY A VERY SHORT AND NARROW TXWY LENGTH BEFORE REACHING THE RWY 25R INTXN. 5) TWR'S HDOF TO GND WITH NO HOLD SHORT INSTRUCTION. 6) THE CAPT AND FO BEING BUSY ACCOMPLISHING THE AFTER-LNDG CHKLIST AND FREQ CHANGE WHILE TAXIING IN A TIGHT AND UNFAMILIAR AREA. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE TWR CTLR AFTER THE INCIDENT; THE CTLR SAID THAT THERE WAS NEVER A TFC CONFLICT; AND THAT HE HAD PROTECTED THAT RWY INTXN BECAUSE HE SUSPECTED THAT WE MIGHT DO WHAT WE DID. IF THAT IS THE CASE; WHY DIDN'T HE ISSUE A HOLD SHORT INSTRUCTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH HIM SENDING US TO GND? SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 617969: I WAS FULLY FOCUSED ON MAKING THE TURN AND THE FO WAS CLEANING UP THE PLANE; SO BY THE TIME WE GOT TO GND; WE HAD ENTERED THE RWY 25R INTXN ON TXWY D. AT NO TIME HAD WE RECEIVED ANY INSTRUCTION TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 25R; EVEN WHEN WE WERE TOLD TO GO TO GND. THEY ADVISED TO CONTACT TWR VIA LAND LINE ONCE WE GOT IN. FROM THE INADEQUATE ATIS TO THE CONFUSING TWR INSTRUCTIONS TO NO HOLD SHORT INSTRUCTION BY ANYONE AT ANYTIME; I FELT SOMEWHAT SET UP FOR THIS INCURSION.
