Narrative:
While taxiing out for runway 22R in dtw, I made a wrong turn on taxiway K and approached runway 27R intersection, which was landing aircraft. ATC ground gave me a stop signal. No runway incursion, but aircraft landing was told to go around. I had my airport page out, but thought I knew the taxiway, cold. I did not! Wig wag lights at this often closed runway and better vigilance on the crew would have helped prevent this. I asked ground control later on if there was a problem and they said no! Even though I never crossed or encroached the runway, it could have been deadly! Wig wag lights would have made a big difference. In dtw we often use runway 27 for taxi to and from gate. They were using runway 22 and I never thought that runway 27R was in use. Another mistake on my part.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: DC9 PLT ALMOST HAD A RWY INCURSION AT DTW. PLT SUGGESTS HOLD SHORT LIGHTING IS NEEDED. LIGHTS SHOULD BE PLACED AT THE PROB INTXNS.
Narrative: WHILE TAXIING OUT FOR RWY 22R IN DTW, I MADE A WRONG TURN ON TXWY K AND APCHED RWY 27R INTXN, WHICH WAS LNDG ACFT. ATC GND GAVE ME A STOP SIGNAL. NO RWY INCURSION, BUT ACFT LNDG WAS TOLD TO GO AROUND. I HAD MY ARPT PAGE OUT, BUT THOUGHT I KNEW THE TXWY, COLD. I DID NOT! WIG WAG LIGHTS AT THIS OFTEN CLOSED RWY AND BETTER VIGILANCE ON THE CREW WOULD HAVE HELPED PREVENT THIS. I ASKED GND CTL LATER ON IF THERE WAS A PROB AND THEY SAID NO! EVEN THOUGH I NEVER CROSSED OR ENCROACHED THE RWY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY! WIG WAG LIGHTS WOULD HAVE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE. IN DTW WE OFTEN USE RWY 27 FOR TAXI TO AND FROM GATE. THEY WERE USING RWY 22 AND I NEVER THOUGHT THAT RWY 27R WAS IN USE. ANOTHER MISTAKE ON MY PART.
