Hang on - few duff facts here.

The only schools currently offering UK (CAA) JAA PPL's are European Flight Training, Orlando Flight Training and Ormond Beach (in alphabetical order).

Naples and Comair (carbonfiber's message) are not currently doing it.

Highly recommend you have ALL the written exams and the R/T practical test done (and still within date!!!!) - then pick your school and off you go.

NOTE that you will probably need an hour or so to "transfer" to the Florida way of doing things (they are slightly different) - so you are unlikley to finish in the minimum 45 hours - and you may have to repeat some items already done (just to be able to proceed).

B2N2 was close with his/her suggestion BUT the JAA skill test has to be done through an approved school - not just with a freelance examiner.
