Narrative:

On oct/mon/02, hangar ron shift, I was assigned aircraft service check. All work completed ok during the scheduled shift. I signed the aircraft airworthiness release to complete the work package. The aircraft was scheduled a later mid morning departure. The logbook and work package complete, I clocked off shift at XA00. I was not aware of the aircraft maintenance note mistake until notified oct/tue/02 at XA00 hours. The crew of hangar ron are responsible for multiple aircraft and usually help out in the workload of others -- multiple jobs during the shift.
