Quick question:
Is it always mandatory to get a specific clearance, then read back that clearance, when crossing a runway during taxi? If you get instructions to taxi to point X on the airport, and the only way to get there involves crossing a runway, are you allowed to go to point X without stopping short of the runway you must cross and getting a clearance before you cross it?
I really should know this by now but don't. I don't have much experience with airports that have multiple intersecting runways, just curious.....
