Narrative:

Approach control cleared us for the ILS runway 8L atl and advised us to switch to tower frequency at the marker. None of the 3 crew members noticed the failure to switch to tower. On rollout, approach control advised us to contact the tower on 119.5. Tower advised us that we did have the 'green light' and there was not a problem or conflict. Luckily there was no other traffic at this time. Fatigue was definitely the cause of this problem. In the future I, for one, will try to obtain more sleep prior to the evening's flts.

Title: B727 LANDS ATL WITH GREEN LIGHT CLRNC, NOT HAVING CHANGED TO TWR FREQ FOR CLRNC.

Narrative: APCH CTL CLRED US FOR THE ILS RWY 8L ATL AND ADVISED US TO SWITCH TO TWR FREQ AT THE MARKER. NONE OF THE 3 CREW MEMBERS NOTICED THE FAILURE TO SWITCH TO TWR. ON ROLLOUT, APCH CTL ADVISED US TO CONTACT THE TWR ON 119.5. TWR ADVISED US THAT WE DID HAVE THE 'GREEN LIGHT' AND THERE WAS NOT A PROB OR CONFLICT. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER TFC AT THIS TIME. FATIGUE WAS DEFINITELY THE CAUSE OF THIS PROB. IN THE FUTURE I, FOR ONE, WILL TRY TO OBTAIN MORE SLEEP PRIOR TO THE EVENING'S FLTS.
