Your BHPA membership card contains details of the ratings, endorsements and licences that you have attained in your flying career that are still valid.
Whilst a hard copy of your membership card will continue to be issued for the foreseeable future, a web based digital membership card app is also available.
Members can access the app at https://members.bhpa-membership.org.
The account setup procedure is initiated by tapping the create account link on the login page. You will then be asked to enter and submit your registered email address.
The resultant email will contain a unique link that will allow you to create an account. When setting up your account, you have the option of uploading a suitable photograph for inclusion on your digital 'card'. This can be replaced at a later date if desired, by tapping the create account link on the login page. All data and photographs are securely hosted on the BHPA web server.
It's also possible to start your membership renewal process from within the app. This option makes membership renewal quicker and easier by pre-filling the vast majority of fields on the renewal application form.
When intially creating your account, or renewing your BHPA membership from within the app, please try to ensure you have a stable internet connection.
If you are unable to reset you password, this may be because you have a new email address and haven't let the office know. In which case, please contact the office to update your email address, quoting membership number and full name.
You may sometimes also find that not all the qualifications that you thought you possessed are listed on your membership card.
Errors in the office computer system are few, but pilots can sometimes not get credited with a qualification, such as a tow endorsement, because they or the training establishment they attended have not advised the BHPA office of the qualification attained.
Shortly after you obtain a new rating or endorsement you should be issued with an up-to-date BHPA membership card showing your new qualification.
Please check that your membership card shows all the qualifications you believe you have attained.
If your membership card does not, please call the BHPA office on 0116 289 4316 to check if they have received details of your "missing" endorsement or rating.
If the Office has no trace of it, please contact the school or club where you obtained your new endorsement or rating.
