Narrative:

From the FBO we were cleared to runway 19, active runway was runway 23. Captain hesitated when approaching runway 19 on taxiway H. Ground control was giving an IFR clearance to another aircraft. Before the frequency was open to ask about whether we were allowed on the runway, the captain crossed runway 19 and continued taxiing towards the approach end on taxiway B. I believe the captain thought that since runway 23 was the active runway, we could cross runway 19. The controller pointed out our error when he gave us the takeoff clearance. The wording of the aim regarding taxiing shows we were in error. The copilot should have been more assertive if he felt the runway 19 should not be crossed.
