CROSSED RWY WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative

I HAD RECEIVED MY CLRNC AND HAD CALLED GND FOR TAXI. I WAS GIVEN WORD TO TAXI TO RWY 9. NO STATEMENT WAS MADE TO HOLD AT EITHER 5/23 OR 9/27. I TAXIED VERY SLOWLY THINKING GND CTL MAY GIVE ME A HOLD SHORT AT 5/23! NONE WAS GIVEN. I CONTINUED ON AND SLOWLY APCHED 9/27 ON TXWY G. AGAIN NO HOLDS WERE GIVEN. THE TWR WAS ALSO WORKING COMMUTER TFC ON 13/31. I DILIGENTLY LOOKED FOR TFC. SHORTLY AFTER XING 9/27 AT E; AND TURNED W ON EN; I RECEIVED A ROYAL TONGUE-LASHING FOR XING 9/27 AND WAS INFORMED I WAS IN VIOLATION FOR XING THE RWY THAT WOULD BECOME ACTIVE TO ME. I APOLOGIZED AND EXPLAINED THIS WAS NOT THE WAY I HAD BEEN TRAINED AT PTK WHERE I HAD BEEN BASED FOR THE LAST 12 YRS. ON RETURNING TO PTK I DISCUSSED THE SITUATION IN DETAIL WITH TWR CHIEF; AND ALSO DETROIT GADO TWR EXECUTIVE. BOTH AGREED I HAD USED CORRECT PROC. I AM WRITING NOT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE MLI GND CTLR BUT; I SAY THIS PROC IS NOT CLEAR AND IN MY 50 YRS OF FLYING AND ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST 4 YRS; I HAD SIMILAR SITUATIONS AT TOPEKA; KS; DTE; MKG AND 3 DIFFERENT INSTANCES AT MSP. IT IS OBVIOUS CTLRS HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT TAXI INSTRUCTIONS. WE SURE AS HELL DON'T NEED ANY TENERIFE! I FLY IN AND OUT OF DTW AND THEY ARE VERY CONCISE. MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN CLRED TO AN ACTIVE WITH NO HOLDS.
