Narrative:
We landed without a clearance. We had been cleared for 'the visual' to runway 4L and traffic at 12-1 O'clock position on the parallel. Our aircraft was MEL'ed for 'zero flaps' which requires a checklist out of our flight manual. The first officer had the radios and found the checklist. I was PF. I called for the appropriate checklist and realized that while all items on the 'in-range list' were complete, the list wasn't run (1000 ft AGL). The remainder of the landing was normal with the exception of being a little long. Taxiing clear the first officer noticed we were still with approach. We got with 'ground' and got a taxi clearance. I called the bos tower supervisor and he stated no action would be taken. Causes: unsterile cockpit distracted from calling for 'in-range' list, approach controller didn't hand us off to tower, flaps inoperative, procedures aircraft handling characteristics required more attention, I missed switching to tower as captain/PF. PNF paid too much attention to parallel traffic behind us and too much time with checklist. Sterile cockpit is key. No flight is routine enough to start sight-seeing instead of conducting a flight. I missed the 'in-range.' don't take for granted, get over-involved in just maneuvering the aircraft. Make sure other person does his stuff.

Title: BEECH 1900 LANDS BOSTON LOGAN WITHOUT PROPER CLRNC.
Narrative: WE LANDED WITHOUT A CLRNC. WE HAD BEEN CLRED FOR 'THE VISUAL' TO RWY 4L AND TFC AT 12-1 O'CLOCK POS ON THE PARALLEL. OUR ACFT WAS MEL'ED FOR 'ZERO FLAPS' WHICH REQUIRES A CHKLIST OUT OF OUR FLT MANUAL. THE FO HAD THE RADIOS AND FOUND THE CHKLIST. I WAS PF. I CALLED FOR THE APPROPRIATE CHKLIST AND REALIZED THAT WHILE ALL ITEMS ON THE 'IN-RANGE LIST' WERE COMPLETE, THE LIST WASN'T RUN (1000 FT AGL). THE REMAINDER OF THE LNDG WAS NORMAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BEING A LITTLE LONG. TAXIING CLR THE FO NOTICED WE WERE STILL WITH APCH. WE GOT WITH 'GND' AND GOT A TAXI CLRNC. I CALLED THE BOS TWR SUPVR AND HE STATED NO ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN. CAUSES: UNSTERILE COCKPIT DISTRACTED FROM CALLING FOR 'IN-RANGE' LIST, APCH CTLR DIDN'T HAND US OFF TO TWR, FLAPS INOP, PROCS ACFT HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS REQUIRED MORE ATTN, I MISSED SWITCHING TO TWR AS CAPT/PF. PNF PAID TOO MUCH ATTN TO PARALLEL TFC BEHIND US AND TOO MUCH TIME WITH CHKLIST. STERILE COCKPIT IS KEY. NO FLT IS ROUTINE ENOUGH TO START SIGHT-SEEING INSTEAD OF CONDUCTING A FLT. I MISSED THE 'IN-RANGE.' DON'T TAKE FOR GRANTED, GET OVER-INVOLVED IN JUST MANEUVERING THE ACFT. MAKE SURE OTHER PERSON DOES HIS STUFF.
