Narrative:

Departed gate at bdl. After pushback, I called for and was given taxi clearance. I read back the clearance, which included instructions to hold short of runway 33. The captain read the clearance back to me, and I confirmed that it was correct. The captain called for flaps 8 degrees, taxi checks. While I was performing the taxi checklist, I felt the aircraft coming to a stop. At the same time the aircraft was stopping, I heard ground control order 'flight X, stop.' after hearing this, I looked up and saw a B737 approximately 400 ft in the air. When our aircraft came to rest, it did not intersect runway 33. Ground control then instructed us to cross runway 33 and proceed to runway 24. Takeoff and flight was within normal operating parameters. I believe for a moment the captain forgot the hold short clearance and would have proceeded across the runway if the ground controller had not told us to stop. I was in the process of updating the FMS with the correct weights which requires my head in the cockpit for the taxi checklist. I feel that this situation could have been avoided if a crew is given a hold short clearance that 'taxi checklist' should not be called until after crossing the hold short runway. This then allows both pilots to have their eyes outside of the cockpit.

Title: AN FK100 ACR FLT CROSSES THE HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 33 DURING THE TKOF OF A B737 AT BDL, CT.

Narrative: DEPARTED GATE AT BDL. AFTER PUSHBACK, I CALLED FOR AND WAS GIVEN TAXI CLRNC. I READ BACK THE CLRNC, WHICH INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 33. THE CAPT READ THE CLRNC BACK TO ME, AND I CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS CORRECT. THE CAPT CALLED FOR FLAPS 8 DEGS, TAXI CHKS. WHILE I WAS PERFORMING THE TAXI CHKLIST, I FELT THE ACFT COMING TO A STOP. AT THE SAME TIME THE ACFT WAS STOPPING, I HEARD GND CTL ORDER 'FLT X, STOP.' AFTER HEARING THIS, I LOOKED UP AND SAW A B737 APPROX 400 FT IN THE AIR. WHEN OUR ACFT CAME TO REST, IT DID NOT INTERSECT RWY 33. GND CTL THEN INSTRUCTED US TO CROSS RWY 33 AND PROCEED TO RWY 24. TKOF AND FLT WAS WITHIN NORMAL OPERATING PARAMETERS. I BELIEVE FOR A MOMENT THE CAPT FORGOT THE HOLD SHORT CLRNC AND WOULD HAVE PROCEEDED ACROSS THE RWY IF THE GND CTLR HAD NOT TOLD US TO STOP. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THE FMS WITH THE CORRECT WTS WHICH REQUIRES MY HEAD IN THE COCKPIT FOR THE TAXI CHKLIST. I FEEL THAT THIS SIT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF A CREW IS GIVEN A HOLD SHORT CLRNC THAT 'TAXI CHKLIST' SHOULD NOT BE CALLED UNTIL AFTER XING THE HOLD SHORT RWY. THIS THEN ALLOWS BOTH PLTS TO HAVE THEIR EYES OUTSIDE OF THE COCKPIT.
