Narrative:
We executed an ILS DME approach into northwest regional with WX conditions 500 ft overcast, 2 1/2 mi visibility, and failed to contact tower for clearance to land. There was no conflict with the incident. A possible remedy might be to make 'landing clearance' part of the required 'before landing' paper checklist.
