Can I ask you "Why Miami?" (you live there, or flying in across the Atlantic - what?).
Can I also ask "What do you want the JAA instructor for?"
It all makes a BIG difference to the answers that you require.
PM if you prefer - or just tell us, Why Miami and Why a JAA INstructor?

A friend of mine has been renting through flymiami.com. They have C172's new and old and ones with some having Garmin G1000, and autopilots. I believe they pay $3 per gallon for fuel reimbursement too.
Onfortunately, Hurricane Katrina took out 25 aiplanes at Kendall Tamiami.
Not sure whose they are, the schools might have had them all stored away.
I think there are 4 or 5 schools at Tamiami alone.
Try www.airnav.com

scroll to the bottom.
It's not an all-inclusive list since you have to pay to display your banner but it's a start.

Flying into Miami for a few days, so doesn't have to be Miami but don't want to drive to the other end of the state!
Not just me going, need a JAA school to get a renewal flight on a JAA PPL and possibly some JAA flight instruction, although not sure on rules - ie. not sure if FAA instructor session counts towards a JAA PPL.

No - AG - an FAA instructor is not qualified to do this flight with you.
Nearest JAA for MIA would be Naples Air Center in - would you believe - Naples. A short flight across from MIA area (Westbound).
The ONLY person there that is qualified to do what you need is Andrew. Call 1 800 226 4000, extension 210.
If you fancy a run of about an hour North from Miami drop me a line and I'll help you with what you need.
Change to PM if you wish.
Enjoy Florida.

Keygrip,
I do not agree that Andrew is the only qualified person there.
If AD is looking for one hour flight with a JAA instructor, there are a few instructors who have done standardisation training. I believe CAA has recently approved Sery's standardisation training as well.
However, I do agree that Andrew is the only person there who can sign the required paper work. Of course she can always go to you for signature as long as she can prove the usual flying/training requirements

An FAA (only) rated flying instructor is NOT authorised to carry out the 1hour flight required for revalidation of a JAA licence.
NEITHER is any FAA (only) rated flying instructor who has (or has not) been standardised, approved, authorised - whatever - to teach JAA.
For the purposes of revalidation of the rating (JAR FCL 1) the flight must be done with a JAA RATED (not approved, or authorised - RATED) flying instructor.
There was (is?) some French guy there (forgoten his name) who had completed a JAA qualification - but considering the required signature too, the only person AG wants to deal with (if she does go to NAC as recommended) is Andrew.
Seri is NOT authorised to carry out the 1hr flight.

Slight crossed wires here.
I know that a JAA isntructor is required for a JAA PPL flight but not sure if FAA instruction would count towards a JAA PPL for a JAA PPL (training in the UK) student pilot.

That's why I posed the questions(s)
If someone is looking for the 1hour flight that counts towards revalidation by experience - then they must have a fully JAA rated flying instructor.
If someone wishes to do addittional training towards a partly completed PPL then I would say that the FAA instructor (if standardised and approved at that school [and you will have no way of knowing]) can teach towards the PPL.
However, it's likely that the school will teach things differently to what the student has already been taught in the UK (and will have a 100% FAA and 0% JAA bias) - which may turn out to be more of a hinderance than a help or cost saving.
The question of doing any instruction really comes back to "What do you want it for". A serious lesson towards the PPL or an opportunity to have a pleasant flight around Florida but still log it.
Can I also ask "What do you want the JAA instructor for?"
