Narrative:
I taxied to runway 9R as instructed by ground. When I switched to tower they asked immediately if I was ready to go. I thought they said taxi to runway 9L, so I crossed runway 9R. They really wanted me on runway 9R, so I turned around after they told me they wanted me on runway 9R. I departed runway 9R as they wanted. I should have not let the tower hurry me which led to more confusion and asked if they really wanted me on runway 9R or runway 9L. There was no actual hazard in final case, but I came to realize that letting the tower/ATC hurry one can lead to mistakes -- even in the most careful pilot.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: PLT OF A BE35 MISTAKENLY BELIEVED THAT HE WAS CLRED TO THE L PARALLEL RWY AND TAXIED ACROSS THE R RWY WHEREIN LCL CTLR CLRED BACK TO THE R TO WHICH HE WAS HOLDING SHORT.
Narrative: I TAXIED TO RWY 9R AS INSTRUCTED BY GND. WHEN I SWITCHED TO TWR THEY ASKED IMMEDIATELY IF I WAS READY TO GO. I THOUGHT THEY SAID TAXI TO RWY 9L, SO I CROSSED RWY 9R. THEY REALLY WANTED ME ON RWY 9R, SO I TURNED AROUND AFTER THEY TOLD ME THEY WANTED ME ON RWY 9R. I DEPARTED RWY 9R AS THEY WANTED. I SHOULD HAVE NOT LET THE TWR HURRY ME WHICH LED TO MORE CONFUSION AND ASKED IF THEY REALLY WANTED ME ON RWY 9R OR RWY 9L. THERE WAS NO ACTUAL HAZARD IN FINAL CASE, BUT I CAME TO REALIZE THAT LETTING THE TWR/ATC HURRY ONE CAN LEAD TO MISTAKES -- EVEN IN THE MOST CAREFUL PLT.
