Narrative:

While changing #6 brake on aircraft X, I installed the gear pins and removed them. However, failed to make a logbook entry that gear pins were installed. During layovers, we are not required to make a logbook entry. Unfortunately, I was performing a transit check, and the entry should have been made. Next time I will make the entry for the gear pins at the same time the entry for the brake is made.

Narrative: WHILE CHANGING #6 BRAKE ON ACFT X, I INSTALLED THE GEAR PINS AND REMOVED THEM. HOWEVER, FAILED TO MAKE A LOGBOOK ENTRY THAT GEAR PINS WERE INSTALLED. DURING LAYOVERS, WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO MAKE A LOGBOOK ENTRY. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS PERFORMING A TRANSIT CHK, AND THE ENTRY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE. NEXT TIME I WILL MAKE THE ENTRY FOR THE GEAR PINS AT THE SAME TIME THE ENTRY FOR THE BRAKE IS MADE.
