1700 nm milk run with a stop or two each way is just not fun for our staff.
Two stops on a 1700nm flight in a 1000? I thought that would be one stop, and only into the wind. My farting around on Foreflight shows that 1700nm with a tailwind is usually a nonstop flight.
So what's it like in the real world? 800nm legs?
From a range perspective, a no-wind 1700nm leg shouldn't be a problem in an RVSM 1000.
I can do 1500nm legs in my short-range, non-RVSM 980, even with a slight headwind.
More than one stop against even 100 knot plus winds is a choice, not a requirement.
One of my brothers had a Citation V for a while, and we did some trips in tandem. He really didn't have any more range than I did, and stopped about the same places. He was quite a bit quicker, however, and I think probably did better into a headwind (but as a slight counter, he also flew higher, and thus had stronger winds to deal with).
