Narrative:

As we approached the hold short line, the aircraft ahead was cleared for takeoff. I was expecting 'position and hold.' there was WX east of the field, so I was also thinking about turning the radar on to take a look at it. Somehow I decided we were given 'position and hold' when, in fact, we were not. The first officer told me to stop as I crossed the hold short line. Then tower indicated that the final was clear and we could taxi into position. My expectation of a position and hold clearance got me. I will pay more attention tin he future.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: FLC CROSSES HOLD SHORT LINE WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: AS WE APCHED THE HOLD SHORT LINE, THE ACFT AHEAD WAS CLRED FOR TKOF. I WAS EXPECTING 'POS AND HOLD.' THERE WAS WX E OF THE FIELD, SO I WAS ALSO THINKING ABOUT TURNING THE RADAR ON TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. SOMEHOW I DECIDED WE WERE GIVEN 'POS AND HOLD' WHEN, IN FACT, WE WERE NOT. THE FO TOLD ME TO STOP AS I CROSSED THE HOLD SHORT LINE. THEN TWR INDICATED THAT THE FINAL WAS CLR AND WE COULD TAXI INTO POS. MY EXPECTATION OF A POS AND HOLD CLRNC GOT ME. I WILL PAY MORE ATTN TIN HE FUTURE.
