Narrative:
On a visual approach to pittsburgh international airport. We were given clearance for the visual approach to follow aircraft in front of us. ATC approach told us to contact tower over the OM for runway 32. We proceeded on the visual. While trying to maintain spacing and run before landing checklist, we failed to contact tower. We landed and taxied off the runway, at which point we realized we had landed without ATC clearance. We contacted ground and taxi into the gate. I have had this circumstance arise in the training environment under high work conditions. I feel that the tower frequency should be turned over to immediately when advised to prevent such situation in the future.
