Key West doesnt seem to be that good of a choice for a training location.
Key West Airport is bordered by the Key West NAS that would make volume solo patterns a little challenging.
Water all around except for the little chain of Islands up to Miami makes cross country options a little limited.
Accomodation is very expensive down there and the airport is some distance away from the town.
The drive from Miami is around 3.5 hours making it a long drive after a flight.
Not many other training airports close by without a long expensive ferry up the Island Chain.
Key West is a cool place for a 'one off' cross country but the busy airpace on the main part of florida offers many more options for a better training environment and better all round flying experience.
Turbine transition in the US is somewhat useless unless you have 1,000 hrs PIC and at that point most employers will pay for it for you.
The other training location suffers badly from weather and would restrict the number of 'flyable' days. Today its forcast dense fog initially followed by 25 kt winds later when the fog clears.
The distance between both locations is huge thus limiting the chances to move students between both sites.
Otherwise a 'pretty' website
