What Defines A Member Of AWPA

The Association has members throughout Australia, aged from 16 to 90 years. They range from pre-solo students to commercial, airline, and military pilots, some members having more than 20,000 hours.

Full membership is open to any female pilot who holds or has held a Pilot’s Licence or Pilot’s Certificate. Student membership is open to any female student pilot for a maximum of two years.
