Narrative:

Landing without clearance. On rollout, we noticed we were still tuned to approach. I switched to tower and taxied to gate. This occurred during very high workload. Very new copilot getting his initial line operating experience and very high, fast, visual approach. The approach into cae landing east keeps the aircraft high (10000 ft) until 25 mi from airport. Copilot was fast and was correcting under my supervision. I got busy finishing checklists and helping copilot configure aircraft. Normally, I use a light to verify 'cleared to land,' but got behind and did not check light until on the ground. I will not attempt to allow a new copilot to do a high approach until he has more experience, then will make sure we are stabilized at 1000 ft or go around. On this approach, we were not stabilized until 500 ft AGL.

Title: AN ACR MLG LANDED WITHOUT CLRNC. FAR VIOLATION. ERROR ADMITTED.

Narrative: LNDG WITHOUT CLRNC. ON ROLLOUT, WE NOTICED WE WERE STILL TUNED TO APCH. I SWITCHED TO TWR AND TAXIED TO GATE. THIS OCCURRED DURING VERY HIGH WORKLOAD. VERY NEW COPLT GETTING HIS INITIAL LINE OPERATING EXPERIENCE AND VERY HIGH, FAST, VISUAL APCH. THE APCH INTO CAE LNDG E KEEPS THE ACFT HIGH (10000 FT) UNTIL 25 MI FROM ARPT. COPLT WAS FAST AND WAS CORRECTING UNDER MY SUPERVISION. I GOT BUSY FINISHING CHKLISTS AND HELPING COPLT CONFIGURE ACFT. NORMALLY, I USE A LIGHT TO VERIFY 'CLRED TO LAND,' BUT GOT BEHIND AND DID NOT CHK LIGHT UNTIL ON THE GND. I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO ALLOW A NEW COPLT TO DO A HIGH APCH UNTIL HE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE, THEN WILL MAKE SURE WE ARE STABILIZED AT 1000 FT OR GAR. ON THIS APCH, WE WERE NOT STABILIZED UNTIL 500 FT AGL.
