Dave 1000 miles?? You would have to have pretty awful headwinds for that in a Five Ultra. It should do 15000 nm with reserves in reasonable winds

They're real workhorses," he said. "They have the right combination of load, range, speed and short-field capabilities."

From Middle America, the airplane can hit either coast, most of the time without taking on fuel. The Ultra's maximum cruising speed is close to 430 knots. At maximum weights, it can take off in less than 3,200 feet and land and stop in less than 2,200. It will climb to 45,000 feet at a blistering 4,100 feet per minute and carry two pilots and six passengers 1,960 nautical miles (no wind) and a full load
of eight passengers somewhat shorter distances. (An advertised ninth seat is the belted potty. If you've been reading my articles, you know I believe aircraft marketers are overreaching when they claim that those or other varieties of padded shelves are real seats.)
IMO the range quoted above is optimistic long range but work on 1500 nm
