Hello.
Are there any JAR FCL Schools in USA except for BFSAA SAA in San Diego?
Are the JAA FTO:s in Florida(OFT, OBA, EFT etc...) working under JAR FCL?

you'd be better reading up a bit in recent threads and using search.
Anglo-American Aviation is in El Cajon, not too far from San Diego.
They had some haggling with SEVIS registration in the past but their website advertises the I-20 issuing rights so it should be sorted. As for feedback, just search for it.

That handful of schools that do 'JAA' stuff have to be linked/connected/authorised by a specific JAA member state. Most of these you mention and I presume AAA as well, are within UK CAA system. Just like WAAC in Australia.
I didn't research this wholly, but some of the airline academies in Arizona or Texas could have paperwork with some other European states. Not relevant, though.
BFSAA for example, I guess.

Just be careful as to where you do your theory, sit exams, do CPL skills test etc. Swapping authorities could be OK with prior approval, but doesn't have to be now that JAA isn't what it used to be. Works out OK for all the Brits and school in the US that are authorised by UK CAA.
