Narrative:
Removed and installed elevator pressure control valve. Being aware of time given to fix aircraft ship X having a departure time of XA15 and having to repos aircraft from the line to the hangar, put aircraft into tail dock. Then when done, take aircraft back to line, time was of the essence. What really caused the problem of forgetting to get part and installation rii was pressure of having aircraft ready for departure and working too fast.
