Narrative:
Was told by approach to contact tower at marker. Just about at the marker I asked PNF to get a wind check. Check was requested and given to us (by approach). As I touched down I realized we were still on approach and had not called tower. I use taxi position of nose light for 'cleared for approach.' landing position for 'cleared to land' reminder. At touchdown I glanced up and still saw taxi position. Because approach gave wind as requested, and I called for that at time changeover should have taken place, I distraction PNF.
