Narrative:
I performed an rii inspection for the avionics section of work card XXXX and several others. I had previous rii training in sfo and I thought I was current according to my training record. After review of the gpm, I found out I needed a 'qa-1' form from the manager of quality assurance at ZZZ and, therefore, I was ineligible to sign the rii section.
