Jump to postAeroflot 777, Good luck to you and your flight studies. I hope that you do learn and progress and make it to the right seat and eventually the left seat of a large transport aircraft for a major airline. I might have felt the same way you do when I was 16-20 and a private pilot, but now as a wizened...
Jump to postRunway 9 landings are rare; I've only done so once, in a B1900 back in 1995 or 1996. It wasn't the primary runway either- I don't recall the reason approach gave us 9, but it was impressive.
Runway 27 departures are actually pretty common.
Cape Air uses one pilot; the aircraft only seats nine so that's all that's required.
