Narrative:

On the quiet bridge approach to sfo runway 28R, I was the PF (as first officer). At or near brijj LOM, an earlier reported air carrier medium large transport appeared from our port quarter rather close aboard, distracting both the captain and myself. I completed approach with particular attention to maintaining the spacing with the air carrier traffic. Upon clearing the runway, the captain discovered that we had failed to call the tower for landing clearance after approach control's handoff. Timing of the tower call (at the LOM) was coincident with the appearance of the medium large transport. In my haste to place a call to the tower, I incurred additional delay by throwing the wrong switch on the radio. When the radio was finally correctly retuned, the tower called us. Crew fatigue from a previous 13-hour duty (7-HR flying) day may have contributed to fixation on the traffic to the exclusion of the required call to tower for landing clearance. Supplemental information from acn 156452. Other factor to consider in this incident is PIC time in the light transport of 75 hours.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: COMMUTER LANDS SFO WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: ON THE QUIET BRIDGE APCH TO SFO RWY 28R, I WAS THE PF (AS F/O). AT OR NEAR BRIJJ LOM, AN EARLIER RPTED ACR MLG APPEARED FROM OUR PORT QUARTER RATHER CLOSE ABOARD, DISTRACTING BOTH THE CAPT AND MYSELF. I COMPLETED APCH WITH PARTICULAR ATTN TO MAINTAINING THE SPACING WITH THE ACR TFC. UPON CLRING THE RWY, THE CAPT DISCOVERED THAT WE HAD FAILED TO CALL THE TWR FOR LNDG CLRNC AFTER APCH CTL'S HDOF. TIMING OF THE TWR CALL (AT THE LOM) WAS COINCIDENT WITH THE APPEARANCE OF THE MLG. IN MY HASTE TO PLACE A CALL TO THE TWR, I INCURRED ADDITIONAL DELAY BY THROWING THE WRONG SWITCH ON THE RADIO. WHEN THE RADIO WAS FINALLY CORRECTLY RETUNED, THE TWR CALLED US. CREW FATIGUE FROM A PREVIOUS 13-HR DUTY (7-HR FLYING) DAY MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO FIXATION ON THE TFC TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE REQUIRED CALL TO TWR FOR LNDG CLRNC. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 156452. OTHER FACTOR TO CONSIDER IN THIS INCIDENT IS PIC TIME IN THE LTT OF 75 HRS.
