Narrative:

I landed at bos and cleared the runway and was told to hold short of the parallel runway 22R. It was dark, the controllers talk very fast and I hadn't been in bos for a very long time. I heard 'cross runway 22R then hold short of taxiway south at taxiway a.' that area around txwys a, south, west, and runway 22 is very confusing. I may have crossed an active runway instead of taxiing on taxiway west and when I crossed I was at the 'a/south' intersection. There were no conflicts with other aircraft and no real problems of any kind. The ground controller just seemed annoyed at me but that could just be bos. I know bos is busy, that intersection is a 'hot spot,' the controllers need to be extremely clear about their instructions and keep in mind that they need to know one airport whereas I need to know over 100 of them and it isn't easy.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: CL65 FLT CREW HAS RWY INCURSION AT BOS.

Narrative: I LANDED AT BOS AND CLRED THE RWY AND WAS TOLD TO HOLD SHORT OF THE PARALLEL RWY 22R. IT WAS DARK, THE CTLRS TALK VERY FAST AND I HADN'T BEEN IN BOS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I HEARD 'CROSS RWY 22R THEN HOLD SHORT OF TXWY S AT TXWY A.' THAT AREA AROUND TXWYS A, S, W, AND RWY 22 IS VERY CONFUSING. I MAY HAVE CROSSED AN ACTIVE RWY INSTEAD OF TAXIING ON TXWY W AND WHEN I CROSSED I WAS AT THE 'A/S' INTXN. THERE WERE NO CONFLICTS WITH OTHER ACFT AND NO REAL PROBS OF ANY KIND. THE GND CTLR JUST SEEMED ANNOYED AT ME BUT THAT COULD JUST BE BOS. I KNOW BOS IS BUSY, THAT INTXN IS A 'HOT SPOT,' THE CTLRS NEED TO BE EXTREMELY CLR ABOUT THEIR INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY NEED TO KNOW ONE ARPT WHEREAS I NEED TO KNOW OVER 100 OF THEM AND IT ISN'T EASY.
