EnglishHow to Log In to the Stearman Restorers Association Members Area
Updated
The Stearman Restorers Association (SRA) members area uses a standard login page with several sign-in options: a site account with email and password, or single sign-on through Google, Microsoft, or Apple. If you are an existing member who has not yet logged in since the site moved to its new platform, the association has posted a notice directing members to "important log-in information" before their first attempt — check that notice first, because your old credentials may not carry over automatically.
Where the login lives
The login form appears in the site menu, alongside Home, About Us, Join, News & Events, NSFI, Donations, and Contact us. The same login block is repeated in the page footer, so you can reach it from either the top menu or the bottom of any page.
Sign-in options
| Option | What you need | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Site account | Email/username and password | Standard SRA login |
| A Google account | Single sign-on button | |
| Microsoft | A Microsoft account | Single sign-on button |
| Apple | An Apple ID | Single sign-on button |
There is also a "Remember me" checkbox if you want the browser to keep you signed in, and a "Forgot password" link if you cannot get in with your site credentials.
Step-by-step
- Open stearman.net and find the login form in the menu or footer.
- If this is your first visit since the site relaunch, read the members' log-in notice linked from the homepage before entering anything.
- Choose one method:
- Enter your site email and password, then click Log in.
- Or click Log in with Google, Log in with Microsoft, or Log in with Apple and complete the provider's prompt.
- Optionally tick "Remember me" before submitting.
- Expected result: you land in the Members Only section.
What you get once inside
The Members Only area contains the Forums, Knowledge Archive, Merchandise, and Classified Ads, plus other member resources. Membership also includes The Flying Wire magazine, published quarterly in February, May, August, and November, with historical content, flying and restoration tips, and member contributions.
Common snags
- Old credentials rejected. The site is described as new, and members were specifically pointed to log-in information — this strongly suggests a migration step (such as resetting a password or linking a social login) is needed before the first successful sign-in.
- Wrong provider. If you originally registered with an email/password but click a Google or Apple button, you may create or hit a different account. Use the method tied to your membership.
- Password not working. Use "Forgot password" rather than retrying repeatedly.
- Not a member yet. Login only helps existing members. New members join for one year, three years, or a lifetime via the Join tab; the SRA reports over 1,000 members across 25 countries.
If login still fails after a password reset, use the Contact us link rather than guessing, since the association manages accounts through its membership software.
