Narrative:
Accomplished weekly check on aircraft xyz on jun/xa/99. After shift, upon mental review of night's work, realized I forgot to check nose gear viewing window from the cockpit. From nose gear wheel well it was ok. Following night pulled up air traffic area history on chapter 32. Next maintenance recorded cleaning the cockpit viewer with no other faults reported. Feel the reason for oversight may have been workload assigned -- being the only mechanic assigned to this particular aircraft. Aircraft was on estimated time return to service for lavatory spill.
