Abstract
The loading of cargo on aircraft with containers and pallets is subject to strict regulations. In this content it is most important to observe the aircraft center of gravity limits. With an optimum load distribution of the cargo in the cargo compartments of an aircraft it is possible to achieve a reduction of the trim forces on the horizontal tail unit, thereby reducing drag and fuel consumption during flight. load 7 trim sheet calculation is a time consuming and sophisticated procedure which is influenced by different types of limits and highly suitable for a computerized process.
