Accident Reports Runway Incursion

On 12 January 2007, a Gulfstream G-IV operated by Swedish Air Force nearly crossed an active landing runway at night with landing traffic imminent at Berlin-Tegel Airport. An inappropriate taxi clearance had been given to the aircraft by ATC due to both inadequate situational awareness and coordination between Ground and Tower positions. The crew questioned the ATC instructions several times, and this led to stopping the aircraft before crossing the holding point of the active runway.
