Narrative:

It was during my third solo in williams gateway, expected taxi clearance to runway via taxiway V, taxiway a, taxiway K. But got a clearance 'taxi to intersection K.' what I should have done was to take taxiway a, but because the tower didn't say anything about it, I was in doubt. I saw the intersection lines of taxiway V and knew I had to stop. When I approached them, I was looking for other traffic on taxiway K and on the runway. There was no other traffic. The moment I crossed the hold short lines, I realized what I did, but it was too late. I turned immediately to the right so I could get back behind the liner on taxiway K. I never endangered another aircraft and never entered the runway. Supplemental information from acn 556441: this clearance should (in my opinion) be 'taxi to runway 30L at taxiway K via taxiway V and taxiway a.' had they said that, he would not have been confused.

Title: STUDENT PLT INADVERTENTLY TAXIED ACROSS RWY HOLD SHORT LINE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED ERROR AND TURNED TO REPOS BEHIND THE ACFT ON THE ADJACENT TXWY HOLD SHORT LINE.

Narrative: IT WAS DURING MY THIRD SOLO IN WILLIAMS GATEWAY, EXPECTED TAXI CLRNC TO RWY VIA TXWY V, TXWY A, TXWY K. BUT GOT A CLRNC 'TAXI TO INTXN K.' WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS TO TAKE TXWY A, BUT BECAUSE THE TWR DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I WAS IN DOUBT. I SAW THE INTXN LINES OF TXWY V AND KNEW I HAD TO STOP. WHEN I APCHED THEM, I WAS LOOKING FOR OTHER TFC ON TXWY K AND ON THE RWY. THERE WAS NO OTHER TFC. THE MOMENT I CROSSED THE HOLD SHORT LINES, I REALIZED WHAT I DID, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. I TURNED IMMEDIATELY TO THE R SO I COULD GET BACK BEHIND THE LINER ON TXWY K. I NEVER ENDANGERED ANOTHER ACFT AND NEVER ENTERED THE RWY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 556441: THIS CLRNC SHOULD (IN MY OPINION) BE 'TAXI TO RWY 30L AT TXWY K VIA TXWY V AND TXWY A.' HAD THEY SAID THAT, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONFUSED.
