Narrative:

In 3/88, ILS approach into wilmington, nc, runway 34. Conditions--light turbulence, rain, fog down to 300-400' AGL. Captain is flying and I am working radios. The less than proficient (I should say less than very proficient) captain I am flying with is quite new and I have made it a point to xchk all his actions. I am flying with a marginally skilled captain who has only been on line for a week and has not had a mistake free flight yet. My company purposely placed me with this captain because I am an experienced first officer. Because I have seen this captain make quite a few mistakes, I watch him carefully. We were shooting an ILS (captain is flying) into wilmington in instrument conditions (runway 34). The captain waits a bit too long to slow the plane for G/south capture. Approach instructs me to call tower and I begin to switch over. Because the plane is a bit fast and we are above G/south, the captain urgently asks for gear and flaps to slow up. I interrupt calling tower to comply. The approach is shot safely, but not especially skillfully, and I continue to monitor the captain's actions to xchk and be safe. In concentrating on the approach and performing non flying duties, I do not have a chance to call tower for clearance to land. I called them on the ground (rollout).

Title: COMMUTER LTT UNAUTH LNDG FROM IAP ILS APCH.

Narrative: IN 3/88, ILS APCH INTO WILMINGTON, NC, RWY 34. CONDITIONS--LIGHT TURB, RAIN, FOG DOWN TO 300-400' AGL. CAPT IS FLYING AND I AM WORKING RADIOS. THE LESS THAN PROFICIENT (I SHOULD SAY LESS THAN VERY PROFICIENT) CAPT I AM FLYING WITH IS QUITE NEW AND I HAVE MADE IT A POINT TO XCHK ALL HIS ACTIONS. I AM FLYING WITH A MARGINALLY SKILLED CAPT WHO HAS ONLY BEEN ON LINE FOR A WK AND HAS NOT HAD A MISTAKE FREE FLT YET. MY COMPANY PURPOSELY PLACED ME WITH THIS CAPT BECAUSE I AM AN EXPERIENCED F/O. BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THIS CAPT MAKE QUITE A FEW MISTAKES, I WATCH HIM CAREFULLY. WE WERE SHOOTING AN ILS (CAPT IS FLYING) INTO WILMINGTON IN INSTRUMENT CONDITIONS (RWY 34). THE CAPT WAITS A BIT TOO LONG TO SLOW THE PLANE FOR G/S CAPTURE. APCH INSTRUCTS ME TO CALL TWR AND I BEGIN TO SWITCH OVER. BECAUSE THE PLANE IS A BIT FAST AND WE ARE ABOVE G/S, THE CAPT URGENTLY ASKS FOR GEAR AND FLAPS TO SLOW UP. I INTERRUPT CALLING TWR TO COMPLY. THE APCH IS SHOT SAFELY, BUT NOT ESPECIALLY SKILLFULLY, AND I CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE CAPT'S ACTIONS TO XCHK AND BE SAFE. IN CONCENTRATING ON THE APCH AND PERFORMING NON FLYING DUTIES, I DO NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO CALL TWR FOR CLRNC TO LAND. I CALLED THEM ON THE GND (ROLLOUT).
