I agree fully with that. *Isn't there an official term for operation on a
taxiway without permission,

I don't know. You tell us. Steven found the definition of Runway
Incursion so I'm sure you guys will have no problem finding the
definition of Taxiway Incursion or whatever. ... In the
meantime,

"By the way, a runway incursion is simply driving an airplane to
somewhere it is not supposed to be on a particular airport at that
particular time. ...an airplane at a controlled airport that entered a
taxiway onto which it had not been cleared would also be considered a
runway incursion."

Now, I'm telling you all one last time, that's JUST EXACTLY what the
FAA told me, and also how the tower reported the incursions. Whether
you choose to accept that is up to you. Goodbye.
