Narrative:

Day 4 of a 5 day trip, early morning arrival in charlotte. Approach to minimums on runway 36R. Handed off to tower on 5 mi final. Tower responded to our call with 'slow to approach speed.' we replied and complied although we were pretty much on speed at that time. We (crew) had a brief comment about spacing on the aircraft in front of us which looked reasonable at 3+ mi. We descended into fog at 350 ft AGL and soon after picked up the approach lights. The landing was normal and the runway was clear. No comments were made about landing clearance and, in fact, we might have had one, but I don't remember receiving one and my nose landing light was still off. (I usually turn it on as my indication of a landing clearance.)

Title: A CARJ FLT CREW LANDS AT CLT AND THEN REALIZES THAT THEY MAY HAVE LANDED WITHOUT A CLRNC.

Narrative: DAY 4 OF A 5 DAY TRIP, EARLY MORNING ARR IN CHARLOTTE. APCH TO MINIMUMS ON RWY 36R. HANDED OFF TO TWR ON 5 MI FINAL. TWR RESPONDED TO OUR CALL WITH 'SLOW TO APCH SPD.' WE REPLIED AND COMPLIED ALTHOUGH WE WERE PRETTY MUCH ON SPD AT THAT TIME. WE (CREW) HAD A BRIEF COMMENT ABOUT SPACING ON THE ACFT IN FRONT OF US WHICH LOOKED REASONABLE AT 3+ MI. WE DSNDED INTO FOG AT 350 FT AGL AND SOON AFTER PICKED UP THE APCH LIGHTS. THE LNDG WAS NORMAL AND THE RWY WAS CLR. NO COMMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT LNDG CLRNC AND, IN FACT, WE MIGHT HAVE HAD ONE, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER RECEIVING ONE AND MY NOSE LNDG LIGHT WAS STILL OFF. (I USUALLY TURN IT ON AS MY INDICATION OF A LNDG CLRNC.)
