Narrative:

After landing on 32L the tower instructions were to turn right and hold short of 32R. When approaching 32R the copilot was doing the after landing checklist. I was distracted momentarily with a fuel transfer problem. We both noticed at the same time that we had crossed the hold short line and applied the brakes but the nose of our aircraft was already out on the runway. I looked to my right and saw an small aircraft (single) rolling at a very slow speed quite some distance away. Since the nose of our aircraft was partially on 32R in the interest of safety I elected to continue across and clear the runway for the small aircraft as I saw no hazard for either aircraft. To prevent a recurrence of such incident I feel one pilot must always focus his attention outside the aircraft when the other pilot is working inside. Supplemental information from acn 199193: the PIC hit the brakes and slowed to a crawl. At this time our nose had started out onto runway 32R. There was an small aircraft about 500 ft away with the engine appearing at idle and moving very slowly, so the PIC elected to move across the runway. The PIC may have also heard the tower clear another aircraft to cross 32R since there were several waiting to cross at the end of 32R.

Title: CORP ACFT FAILS HOLD SHORT. NOSE OVER RWY, CONTINUES ON ACROSS RWY.

Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON 32L THE TWR INSTRUCTIONS WERE TO TURN R AND HOLD SHORT OF 32R. WHEN APCHING 32R THE COPLT WAS DOING THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST. I WAS DISTRACTED MOMENTARILY WITH A FUEL TRANSFER PROBLEM. WE BOTH NOTICED AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE HAD CROSSED THE HOLD SHORT LINE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE NOSE OF OUR ACFT WAS ALREADY OUT ON THE RWY. I LOOKED TO MY R AND SAW AN SMA (SINGLE) ROLLING AT A VERY SLOW SPD QUITE SOME DISTANCE AWAY. SINCE THE NOSE OF OUR ACFT WAS PARTIALLY ON 32R IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY I ELECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS AND CLR THE RWY FOR THE SMA AS I SAW NO HAZARD FOR EITHER ACFT. TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF SUCH INCIDENT I FEEL ONE PLT MUST ALWAYS FOCUS HIS ATTN OUTSIDE THE ACFT WHEN THE OTHER PLT IS WORKING INSIDE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 199193: THE PIC HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOWED TO A CRAWL. AT THIS TIME OUR NOSE HAD STARTED OUT ONTO RWY 32R. THERE WAS AN SMA ABOUT 500 FT AWAY WITH THE ENG APPEARING AT IDLE AND MOVING VERY SLOWLY, SO THE PIC ELECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE RWY. THE PIC MAY HAVE ALSO HEARD THE TWR CLR ANOTHER ACFT TO CROSS 32R SINCE THERE WERE SEVERAL WAITING TO CROSS AT THE END OF 32R.
