Narrative:
Taxiing to leave opa locka airshow, tower instructed me to taxi to runway 9L from junction of 9C and 36L. Upon reaching runway 9L I did not stop but turned left to back taxi. I then saw an approaching aircraft. I moved to right of runway and contacted ground who informed me of the error of my ways. The landing aircraft did a go around. The tower then had me turn around and takeoff from that point as I had more than enough room. Factors: not familiar with airport. Not thinking. Instructions from ground did not contain the phrase 'hold short' which I have become used to at my home airport (pmp). As an afterthought, I realize 'hold short' was not necessary, but I had that mind set. What I need to do from now on is to go only as far as instructed by ground or tower.

THE TWR THEN HAD ME TURN AROUND AND TKOF FROM THAT POINT AS I HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM. FACTORS: NOT FAMILIAR WITH ARPT. NOT THINKING. INSTRUCTIONS FROM GND DID NOT CONTAIN THE PHRASE 'HOLD SHORT' WHICH I HAVE BECOME USED TO AT MY HOME ARPT (PMP). AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT, I REALIZE 'HOLD SHORT' WAS NOT NECESSARY, BUT I HAD THAT MIND SET. WHAT I NEED TO DO FROM NOW ON IS TO GO ONLY AS FAR AS INSTRUCTED BY GND OR TWR.
