AMC M.A.714 Record-keeping ED Decision 2020/002/R 1. The CAMO should ensure that it always receives a complete CRS from the approved maintenance organisation, [M.A.801(b)(1)](#_DxCrossRefBm1518544907) certifying staff and/or from the Pilot-owner such that the required records can be retained. The system to keep the continuing airworthiness records should be described in the organisation continuing airworthiness management exposition. 2. When an organisation arranges for the relevant maintenance organisation to retain copies of the continuing airworthiness records on its behalf, it will nevertheless continue to be responsible for the records under [M.A.714](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545168) relating to the preservation of records. If it ceases to be the organisation of the aircraft, it also remains responsible for transferring the records to any other person or organisation managing continuing airworthiness of the aircraft. 3. Keeping continuing airworthiness records in a form acceptable to the competent authority means in paper form or on a computer database or a combination of both methods. Records stored in microfilm or optical disc form are also acceptable. The record should remain legible throughout the required retention period. 4. Paper systems should use robust material which can withstand normal handling and filing. 5. Computer systems should have at least one backup system which should be updated within 24 hours of any new entry. Each terminal is required to contain programme safeguards against the ability of unauthorised personnel to alter the database. Microfilming or optical storage of continuing airworthiness records may be carried out at any time. The records should be as legible as the original record and remain so for the required retention period. ##### AMC M.A.714 Record-keeping *ED Decision 2020/002/R* 1.
