Narrative:

We were cleared for the ILS runway 9L at fll by approach control (133.77) outside of holid IAF. We were never given a changeover to fll tower. With the distraction of cabin pressurization problems on short final, I missed the fact that we were not on tower frequency. We checked the runway visually for traffic and landed without incident, but it was not until rollout that I realized that we were on the wrong frequency. Ground control stated that they had no problems.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: B727 ACFT ON APCH WAS NOT INSTRUCTED BY APCH CTLR TO CONTACT TWR AND FLC FORGOT TO CHANGE FREQ TO OBTAIN LNDG CLRNC.

Narrative: WE WERE CLRED FOR THE ILS RWY 9L AT FLL BY APCH CTL (133.77) OUTSIDE OF HOLID IAF. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN A CHANGEOVER TO FLL TWR. WITH THE DISTR OF CABIN PRESSURIZATION PROBS ON SHORT FINAL, I MISSED THE FACT THAT WE WERE NOT ON TWR FREQ. WE CHKED THE RWY VISUALLY FOR TFC AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL ROLLOUT THAT I REALIZED THAT WE WERE ON THE WRONG FREQ. GND CTL STATED THAT THEY HAD NO PROBS.
