Anyway....the way the likes of the JAA-IR-in-the-us bunch used to work is to do all but 15 hours training in Florida, then send the candidate to Bournemouth or somewhere to do the remaining 15 hrs and flight test.

Bit of a con if you ask me, paying almost JAA prices for using US aeroplanes, US avionics, US prices and probably more than likely FAA CFII's who get $30 per hour. It'd have to be FAA CFIIs doing the training as JAR FIs don't have any authority over there. In the *old* days, all an FAA instructor had to do to be "approved" to teach JAA stuff at a JAA school was to have "knowledge of JAR" - in otherwords passed an airlaw exam or hold a JAA PPL. Not sure what the deal is now.

You can do the JAA renewal in the USA though with a UK examiner...
