Narrative:

I was instructed to taxi to runway 23R via taxiway C at yip. The runway/taxiway confign at yip is very confusing, with many runways and txwys intersecting at the center of the airport. After consulting the airport taxi diagram, I realized I had taxied slightly past the hold short line for runway 23R on taxiway C. I immediately advised the tower of my error, whom then advised an aircraft on 1 mi final to go around. I was instructed to do a 'short' 180 degree turn, which I did, and was well in place behind the hold short line again when the landing aircraft passed the approach end of the runway on his go around. Airport layout is very confusing.

Title: A C185 PLT CROSSES THE HOLD LINE FOR RWY 23R AT YIP, RESULTING IN ATC ISSUING A C172 ON FINAL A GAR.

Narrative: I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAXI TO RWY 23R VIA TXWY C AT YIP. THE RWY/TXWY CONFIGN AT YIP IS VERY CONFUSING, WITH MANY RWYS AND TXWYS INTERSECTING AT THE CTR OF THE ARPT. AFTER CONSULTING THE ARPT TAXI DIAGRAM, I REALIZED I HAD TAXIED SLIGHTLY PAST THE HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 23R ON TXWY C. I IMMEDIATELY ADVISED THE TWR OF MY ERROR, WHOM THEN ADVISED AN ACFT ON 1 MI FINAL TO GO AROUND. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO A 'SHORT' 180 DEG TURN, WHICH I DID, AND WAS WELL IN PLACE BEHIND THE HOLD SHORT LINE AGAIN WHEN THE LNDG ACFT PASSED THE APCH END OF THE RWY ON HIS GAR. ARPT LAYOUT IS VERY CONFUSING.
