Narrative:

Replaced the standby altimeter -- time unit change. There was no leak check required due quick disconnects on the pitot/static lines. The chkout procedure was not complicated. It was an oversight on my part not getting an inspector to inspect the quick disconnects. I replaced the indicator and then went on to the other tasks. There was a fairly heavy workload that night. I never realized there was a problem with this altimeter change until my supervisor brought it to my attention on aug/xa/08. He verbally counseled me on what I did wrong and said he would discuss it at the next crew meeting in a few days. I plan on scrutinizing the jobs I do more carefully so a mistake like this won't happen in the future.

Narrative: REPLACED THE STANDBY ALTIMETER -- TIME UNIT CHANGE. THERE WAS NO LEAK CHK REQUIRED DUE QUICK DISCONNECTS ON THE PITOT/STATIC LINES. THE CHKOUT PROC WAS NOT COMPLICATED. IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART NOT GETTING AN INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE QUICK DISCONNECTS. I REPLACED THE INDICATOR AND THEN WENT ON TO THE OTHER TASKS. THERE WAS A FAIRLY HVY WORKLOAD THAT NIGHT. I NEVER REALIZED THERE WAS A PROB WITH THIS ALTIMETER CHANGE UNTIL MY SUPVR BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTN ON AUG/XA/08. HE VERBALLY COUNSELED ME ON WHAT I DID WRONG AND SAID HE WOULD DISCUSS IT AT THE NEXT CREW MEETING IN A FEW DAYS. I PLAN ON SCRUTINIZING THE JOBS I DO MORE CAREFULLY SO A MISTAKE LIKE THIS WON'T HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
