Narrative:

Thanks to a timely alert from maf ground control, a runway incursion across an active runway (runway 10) was avoided. No other aircraft or ground equipment was involved. This was a new airport to me and I was passing the lead-in line to taxiway a when ground called. I was also conducting the departure briefing during this time. Next time at an unfamiliar airport, I'll defer the brief until holding short of the active.

Title: A NEAR RWY INCURSION IS PREVENTED WHEN THE LCL CTLR ALERTS THE CREW OF A TAXIING CL65 THAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO CROSS THE HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 10 AT MAF, TX.

Narrative: THANKS TO A TIMELY ALERT FROM MAF GND CTL, A RWY INCURSION ACROSS AN ACTIVE RWY (RWY 10) WAS AVOIDED. NO OTHER ACFT OR GND EQUIP WAS INVOLVED. THIS WAS A NEW ARPT TO ME AND I WAS PASSING THE LEAD-IN LINE TO TXWY A WHEN GND CALLED. I WAS ALSO CONDUCTING THE DEP BRIEFING DURING THIS TIME. NEXT TIME AT AN UNFAMILIAR ARPT, I'LL DEFER THE BRIEF UNTIL HOLDING SHORT OF THE ACTIVE.
