Narrative:

We were cleared to land originally on runway 18R, then on downwind we were changed to runway 17C. I was inside the cockpit too much, changing the FMS, and the speed bug was broken so I was fooling with that and talking on the radio. I was the PNF, so I didn't think to look outside until short final, then it was too late. We landed on runway 17R and didn't realize it until we exited the runway. The speed bug (speed reference knob) being broken was a factor (it was replaced after we landed), the runway change and me being inside too much were all factors. Also the landing clearance wasn't received until very short final. On my 4TH attempt tower called back, that was also a factor.

Title: CL65 FLT CREW LANDS ON THE WRONG RWY AT DFW.

Narrative: WE WERE CLRED TO LAND ORIGINALLY ON RWY 18R, THEN ON DOWNWIND WE WERE CHANGED TO RWY 17C. I WAS INSIDE THE COCKPIT TOO MUCH, CHANGING THE FMS, AND THE SPD BUG WAS BROKEN SO I WAS FOOLING WITH THAT AND TALKING ON THE RADIO. I WAS THE PNF, SO I DIDN'T THINK TO LOOK OUTSIDE UNTIL SHORT FINAL, THEN IT WAS TOO LATE. WE LANDED ON RWY 17R AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL WE EXITED THE RWY. THE SPD BUG (SPD REF KNOB) BEING BROKEN WAS A FACTOR (IT WAS REPLACED AFTER WE LANDED), THE RWY CHANGE AND ME BEING INSIDE TOO MUCH WERE ALL FACTORS. ALSO THE LNDG CLRNC WASN'T RECEIVED UNTIL VERY SHORT FINAL. ON MY 4TH ATTEMPT TWR CALLED BACK, THAT WAS ALSO A FACTOR.
