Narrative:
On approach to landing on runway 27R phl, approach never switched us to tower frequency. We landed while still tuned to 125.4, the final approach frequency. We should have asked approach to go to tower but did not. We discovered our mistake when we were on the ground to change to ground frequency. All crew members must be vigilant during all phases of flight especially during the critical landing phase. Supplemental information from acn 380881: there were no real distractions. Everyone must work hard to prevent such mistakes.

Title: FREIGHTER FLC LANDS AT PHL WITHOUT RECEIVING LNDG CLRNC. THEY WERE STILL ON APCH CTL FREQ. CREW CITES NO HDOF FROM APCH CTLR BUT NO OTHER FACTORS.
Narrative: ON APCH TO LNDG ON RWY 27R PHL, APCH NEVER SWITCHED US TO TWR FREQ. WE LANDED WHILE STILL TUNED TO 125.4, THE FINAL APCH FREQ. WE SHOULD HAVE ASKED APCH TO GO TO TWR BUT DID NOT. WE DISCOVERED OUR MISTAKE WHEN WE WERE ON THE GND TO CHANGE TO GND FREQ. ALL CREW MEMBERS MUST BE VIGILANT DURING ALL PHASES OF FLT ESPECIALLY DURING THE CRITICAL LNDG PHASE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 380881: THERE WERE NO REAL DISTRACTIONS. EVERYONE MUST WORK HARD TO PREVENT SUCH MISTAKES.
