This research presents a computer application for loading instruction of commercial aircraft Boeing 737-800 with Microsoft excel for use as a teaching aid. To provide students with knowledge and understanding and can calculate the weight and control a load of commercial aircraft accurately. This research will compare three values used for loading instruction: DLI index, LIZFW index and LITOW index calculated by the manual method with the computer by specifying 10 samples for testing. From the results, we found that the percentage of error of the index used to loading instruction from the computer with the manual method is the following, percentage of error of the DLI index is 1.55%, LIZFW index is 1.93%, and the LITOW index is 1.57%. From the results, it can be concluded that the loading instruction of the Boeing 737-800 commercial aircraft by computer. Provides the calculation of index values that are close to the manual calculation, which can be used as a teaching aid for understanding to learners.
