Narrative:

Captain was pilot, flying the runway 27L ILS to mia. Sometime after passing the OM the first officer accidentally loaded the mia ground control frequency into the 'active' (vice standby) side of the VHF communication radio. This put the radio on ground control frequency (vice tower) for touchdown and rollout on the runway. First officer did not change to the ground control frequency until well after landing clearance was received. So aircraft was properly cleared to land by mia tower and crew acknowledged over the tower frequency. Some time after this, the switch got made and was not noticed until aircraft cleared the runway. Basically, after receiving landing clearance from tower, the aircraft subsequently touched down and rolled out on the ground control frequency. The radio is of the type that holds 2 frequencys, 1 active and 1 standby -- and is located across the cockpit from the first officer on the captain's side. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the first officer flies the B-767 and B-757 on south american rtes. He admits that the only way that the ground control frequency could have come up on the radio is for him to have switched the radio himself. He is very aware of the hazards of being on an active runway but not being on tower frequency. No one outside the cockpit noticed that this happened. He also states that his captain 'ran a good cockpit.'

Title: FLC LANDED ON GND CTL FREQ.

Narrative: CAPT WAS PLT, FLYING THE RWY 27L ILS TO MIA. SOMETIME AFTER PASSING THE OM THE FO ACCIDENTALLY LOADED THE MIA GND CTL FREQ INTO THE 'ACTIVE' (VICE STANDBY) SIDE OF THE VHF COM RADIO. THIS PUT THE RADIO ON GND CTL FREQ (VICE TWR) FOR TOUCHDOWN AND ROLLOUT ON THE RWY. FO DID NOT CHANGE TO THE GND CTL FREQ UNTIL WELL AFTER LNDG CLRNC WAS RECEIVED. SO ACFT WAS PROPERLY CLRED TO LAND BY MIA TWR AND CREW ACKNOWLEDGED OVER THE TWR FREQ. SOME TIME AFTER THIS, THE SWITCH GOT MADE AND WAS NOT NOTICED UNTIL ACFT CLRED THE RWY. BASICALLY, AFTER RECEIVING LNDG CLRNC FROM TWR, THE ACFT SUBSEQUENTLY TOUCHED DOWN AND ROLLED OUT ON THE GND CTL FREQ. THE RADIO IS OF THE TYPE THAT HOLDS 2 FREQS, 1 ACTIVE AND 1 STANDBY -- AND IS LOCATED ACROSS THE COCKPIT FROM THE FO ON THE CAPT'S SIDE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE FO FLIES THE B-767 AND B-757 ON SOUTH AMERICAN RTES. HE ADMITS THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT THE GND CTL FREQ COULD HAVE COME UP ON THE RADIO IS FOR HIM TO HAVE SWITCHED THE RADIO HIMSELF. HE IS VERY AWARE OF THE HAZARDS OF BEING ON AN ACTIVE RWY BUT NOT BEING ON TWR FREQ. NO ONE OUTSIDE THE COCKPIT NOTICED THAT THIS HAPPENED. HE ALSO STATES THAT HIS CAPT 'RAN A GOOD COCKPIT.'
