Go around. FAA now considers this a runway incursion. It will go on your record, whether the controller likes to do it or not. AND if he decides not to do it, odds are when they get audited, the supervisor will go back and do it for him. All the while you think your safe.

Our airline is now emphasizing this heavily. Don't land, in the old days, no problemo. Not anymore. and BTW I know a guy whos done it twice! Once in PSP and once in LAX. Both times he forgot he was on the approach freq. It's easy to do on your 7th leg of the day. Trust me.
