This paper discusses the philosophy of Computer Application using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and Visual Basic Programming Language to compute flight weight and balance. A series of Visual Basic Programming codes were written considering all the constraints pertaining to each Citation. These improvements have been noticed from using this software: 1. Greater Accuracy 2. Timesaving 3. User friendly 4. Loading flexibility This program allows the pilot to simulate the flight profile for a specific Citation over and over again on any computer with Microsoft Excel spreadsheet application.}, keywords = {12.
