ACR MAKES LNDG WITHOUT TWR CONTACT.

Narrative

COPLT WAS LNDG ACFT UPON ARR FROM BARCELONA AND MADRID. WE TOLD APCH CTL WE HAD ARPT IN SIGHT. APCH CTL CLRED US FOR AN 8 MI VISUAL APCH; WITH A HDG CHANGE; ALT CHANGE AND CONTACT TWR AT THE MARKER -- ALL IN THE SAME XMISSION. COPLT LANDED ACFT; I TURNED ACFT OFF RWY 9R AND HELD SHORT OF RWY 9L WAITING FOR TWR TO CLR US TO CROSS. WHEN COPLT DISCOVERED WE WERE STILL ON APCH FREQ. WE HAVE A DUAL DISPLAY RADIO. TWR HAD BEEN SET IN BUT NOT SELECTED. WE SWITCHED TO TWR AND TOLD THEM WE WERE HOLDING SHORT. TWR SAID TO CROSS RWY 9L AND CONTACT GND. NO OTHER COMMENT WAS MADE. THE LNDG RWY WAS CLR AND THERE WAS NEVER A CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER ACFT OR GND VEHICLE. IT APPEARS WE LANDED WITH THE RADIO SELECTED TO APCH. APCH DID NOT TRY TO CONTACT US INSIDE THE MARKER TO REMIND US TO GO TO TWR. THE TFC IN THE PATTERN WAS LIGHT. THE APCH FLOWN WAS HIGH BECAUSE OF THE CLOSE TURN ON. MY ATTN WAS MORE ON THE DSCNT TO THE GS AND MUST HAVE FAILED TO SWITCH TO TWR. IT WOULD HELP IF APCH COULD WARN ACFT ON DOWNWIND HOW LONG FINALS ARE. IT WOULD HELP IN OUR DSCNT AND CONFIGN PLANNING.
