Narrative:

Prior to XB00 commercial takeoff time, received taxi instructions which I interpreted to mean cross over runway 19L&right to right (west) side. In repeating back ground's instructions, I noted I would be 'crossing over.' ground accepted my feedback without comment. I crossed over and shortly thereafter was asked to call the tower. They said I didn't have permission to cross over but they would review the tapes and get back to me when I returned from vacation. Numerous commercial jets were lined up on the east side for the XB00 commercial release time. There were no takeoffs or lndgs occurring at that time. I anticipated an instruction to cross over to the west side and may have 'heard' what I expected to hear. However, I did note that I was crossing over in my feedback and was not corrected by ground.

Title: RWY INCURSION ALLEGED BY TWR WHEN A C210 PLT CROSSES BOTH RWYS AT SNA, CA.

Narrative: PRIOR TO XB00 COMMERCIAL TKOF TIME, RECEIVED TAXI INSTRUCTIONS WHICH I INTERPED TO MEAN CROSS OVER RWY 19L&R TO R (W) SIDE. IN REPEATING BACK GND'S INSTRUCTIONS, I NOTED I WOULD BE 'XING OVER.' GND ACCEPTED MY FEEDBACK WITHOUT COMMENT. I CROSSED OVER AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER WAS ASKED TO CALL THE TWR. THEY SAID I DIDN'T HAVE PERMISSION TO CROSS OVER BUT THEY WOULD REVIEW THE TAPES AND GET BACK TO ME WHEN I RETURNED FROM VACATION. NUMEROUS COMMERCIAL JETS WERE LINED UP ON THE E SIDE FOR THE XB00 COMMERCIAL RELEASE TIME. THERE WERE NO TKOFS OR LNDGS OCCURRING AT THAT TIME. I ANTICIPATED AN INSTRUCTION TO CROSS OVER TO THE W SIDE AND MAY HAVE 'HEARD' WHAT I EXPECTED TO HEAR. HOWEVER, I DID NOTE THAT I WAS XING OVER IN MY FEEDBACK AND WAS NOT CORRECTED BY GND.
