Eagle flight plans can be produced to provide any of this information. Its a good idea to update PNR and ETP en-route as 1) winds and fuel on board will always be slighty different and 2) it gives you somthing to do besides geting the volmet. The type of PNR or ETP that you calculate (E/O, Depress., or All Eng) is up to you. My view is that normal cruise CPs are usefull for medical emergencies, cargo fires and other similar contingencies where diversion to the nearest funkhole is in order. Depressurised PNRs are used for in-flight diversion if the destination airport is unavailable for any reason. This may be WX but could also be for mechanical problems where the company wants you to land at a particular base rather than proceed to destination. In short, use the CP or PNR that fits the divert senario under consideration
