Narrative:

I was the PF on an IFR approach into mem for runway 36R. My captain was in communication with memphis approach control. They told him to contact the tower at the OM. The WX was IMC and when we arrived at the marker, we were in the process of making final landing configns of our aircraft. The captain forgot to call the tower, and we landed the aircraft safely and without a conflict with another aircraft on runway 36R. Our chief pilot called the tower and they said there was no problem.
