M.A.709 Documentation Regulation (EU) 2020/270 (a) The approved continuing airworthiness management organisation shall hold and use applicable current maintenance data in accordance with point [M.A.401](#_DxCrossRefBm1518544954) of this Annex (Part-M) or point [ML.A.401](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545081) of Annex Vb (Part-ML), as applicable, for the performance of continuing airworthiness tasks referred to in point [M.A.708](#_DxCrossRefBm1518544932) of this Annex (Part-M). That data may be provided by the owner or the operator, subject to an appropriate contract being established with such an owner or operator. In such case, the continuing airworthiness management organisation only needs to keep such data for the duration of the contract, except when required by point [M.A.714](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545168) of this Annex (Part-M). (b) For aircraft not used by licenced air carriers in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, the approved continuing airworthiness management organisation may develop ‘baseline’ or ‘generic’ maintenance programmes, or both, in order to allow for the initial approval or the extension of the scope of an approval, without having the contracts referred to in Appendix I to this Annex (Part‑M) or Appendix I to Annex Vb (Part-ML), as applicable. Those ‘baseline’ and ‘generic’ maintenance programmes however do not preclude the need to establish an adequate Aircraft Maintenance Programme in compliance with point [M.A.302](#_DxCrossRefBm1518544873) of this Annex (Part-M) or [ML.A.302](#_DxCrossRefBm1518544876) of Annex Vb (Part-ML), as applicable, in due time before exercising the privileges referred to in point [M.A.711](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545123) of this Annex (Part-M). #### M.A.709 Documentation *Regulation (EU) 2020/270* (a) The approved continuing airworthiness management organisation shall hold and use applicable current maintenance data in accordance with point [M.A.401](#_DxCrossRefBm1203439841) of this Annex (Part-M) or point [ML.A.401](#_DxCrossRefBm1203439968) of Annex Vb (Part-ML), as applicable, for the performance of continuing airworthiness tasks referred to in point [M.A.708](#_DxCrossRefBm1203439819) of this Annex (Part-M).
