If this supervision is satisfactory, the CAA shall formally accept the staff to become airworthiness review staff.\n(c) The CAO shall ensure that its airworthiness review staff can demonstrate appropriate recent continuing airworthiness experience.\n(d) Each airworthiness review staff shall be identified in the CAE in a list that contains the airworthiness review authorisation referred in point (b).\n(e) The CAO shall maintain a record of all its airworthiness review staff, which shall include details of any appropriate qualification and a summary of relevant continuing airworthiness experience and training of the person concerned, as well as a copy of his or her authorisation. It shall retain that record for a period of at least 2 years after the date at which the person concerned no longer works for the CAO.",
