Narrative:

ILS to runway 31C at midway airport. After landing, cleared runway 31C on last high speed exit. Stopped when I saw runway 31 right, with radome just over runway. Called ground control and he remarked about not calling prior to crossing. Tower should have told us to hold short of runway 31R after clearing runway 31C since runway 31 right is so close to the active runway (runway 31 center). Runway 31 right was not active -- at least by ATIS records, however they were using it -- a commuter aircraft was on a 4 mi final. Moral -- when landing at 'old style' airports one must be aware of active runways in close proximity of the primary runway. Modern airports are much more open and easy to navigation once on the ground. Much more diligence needs to be exercised when landing at antique airports.

Title: UNAUTH RWY ENTRY BY LNDG ARR TFC.

Narrative: ILS TO RWY 31C AT MIDWAY ARPT. AFTER LNDG, CLRED RWY 31C ON LAST HIGH SPD EXIT. STOPPED WHEN I SAW RWY 31 R, WITH RADOME JUST OVER RWY. CALLED GND CTL AND HE REMARKED ABOUT NOT CALLING PRIOR TO XING. TWR SHOULD HAVE TOLD US TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 31R AFTER CLRING RWY 31C SINCE RWY 31 R IS SO CLOSE TO THE ACTIVE RWY (RWY 31 CTR). RWY 31 R WAS NOT ACTIVE -- AT LEAST BY ATIS RECORDS, HOWEVER THEY WERE USING IT -- A COMMUTER ACFT WAS ON A 4 MI FINAL. MORAL -- WHEN LNDG AT 'OLD STYLE' ARPTS ONE MUST BE AWARE OF ACTIVE RWYS IN CLOSE PROX OF THE PRIMARY RWY. MODERN ARPTS ARE MUCH MORE OPEN AND EASY TO NAV ONCE ON THE GND. MUCH MORE DILIGENCE NEEDS TO BE EXERCISED WHEN LNDG AT ANTIQUE ARPTS.
