Narrative:

We were told to contact ground after clearing runway 36, at cgx. We were almost to parking before we realized we hadn't talked to ground. There was no other taxiing aircraft on the field. No problem was created. This situation occurred because of pilot/copilot complacency. We both operate in and out of cgx on an almost daily basis, often we're cleared to parking with tower. After doing the after landing checks it suddenly occurred to us that we had not talked to ground and were almost to parking. When actionsecond officerps become routine to the point of being a habit, then pilot crews must pay more attention to their actions than normal to keep the thought process involved.

Title: GOV SMT TAXIS TO PARKING AFTER LNDG. NEGLECTS TO CONTACT GND CTL.

Narrative: WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT GND AFTER CLRING RWY 36, AT CGX. WE WERE ALMOST TO PARKING BEFORE WE REALIZED WE HADN'T TALKED TO GND. THERE WAS NO OTHER TAXIING ACFT ON THE FIELD. NO PROB WAS CREATED. THIS SITUATION OCCURRED BECAUSE OF PLT/COPLT COMPLACENCY. WE BOTH OPERATE IN AND OUT OF CGX ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS, OFTEN WE'RE CLRED TO PARKING WITH TWR. AFTER DOING THE AFTER LNDG CHKS IT SUDDENLY OCCURRED TO US THAT WE HAD NOT TALKED TO GND AND WERE ALMOST TO PARKING. WHEN ACTIONS/OPS BECOME ROUTINE TO THE POINT OF BEING A HABIT, THEN PLT CREWS MUST PAY MORE ATTN TO THEIR ACTIONS THAN NORMAL TO KEEP THE THOUGHT PROCESS INVOLVED.
