A CORPORATE JET LTT LANDED AT LMT WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative

ON AN IFR FLT TO LMT; OR; SEATTLE CTR INSTRUCTED US TO DSND TO 12000 FT AND RPT THE ARPT IN SIGHT. WHEN WE RPTED THE ARPT IN SIGHT; CTR INSTRUCTED US TO CALL 'KINGSLEY' TWR; WHICH I DID AT APPROX 20 DME OUT ON THE ILS AND DSNDING THROUGH 14000 FT MSL. UPON CONTACT WITH THE TWR; INSTRUCTIONS WERE RECEIVED TO RPT AT 3 MI OUT. THE NEXT XMISSION WAS FROM THE TWR REQUESTING OUR LOCATION. AT THAT MOMENT WE HAD JUST TOUCHED DOWN. THE CALL HAD BEEN MISSED. THE TWR IS ALMOST 2 MI FROM THE APCH END OF THE RWY; AND ANOTHER ACFT WAS WAITING TO TKOF FROM THE OPPOSITE END. THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS OMISSION ON MY PART. THE FACT THAT WE WERE IN CAVU CONDITIONS; AND THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER TFC ON THE RADIO FROM 20 DME OUT TO TOUCHDOWN LULLED ME INTO A STATE OF RELAXED ATTN. A TELEPHONE DISCUSSION WITH THE TWR AFTER LNDG APPRAISED ME OF THE FACT THAT THIS ERROR OCCURS QUITE OFTEN AT KLAMATH FALLS; OR. THE CTLR INDICATED THAT THE FACT THEY DO NOT HAVE TERMINAL RADAR REQUIRES THEM TO ASK FOR A POS RPT. IF THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT OCCURS SO FREQUENTLY AT LMT; SHOULD THE PROC NOT BE CHANGED? ON DEP; I NOTICED THAT SEA ARTCC WAS ABLE TO PICK US UP ON RADAR AT 6000 FT MSL (2000 FT AGL) AND ONLY 5 DME S OF THE ARPT. THAT INDICATES TO ME THAT WE COULD HAVE STAYED WITH CTR UNTIL WE WERE MUCH CLOSER TO THE RWY THAN 20 DME. A SHORTER DISTANCE IN; AND MORE CLOSELY SPACED RADIO XMISSIONS MIGHT HAVE AVOIDED THIS ERROR. LAST BUT NOT LEAST; MORE ATTN BY THE FLC ON CLR DAYS WHEN THE SCENERY IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE RADIO IS QUIET.
