A method of pre-planning and loading of aircraft before physically loading pallets on the aircraft is disclosed. An identifier is entered into a processor to identify an aircraft to be loaded. Based on the identifier, a data file relating to the loading limitations of the aircraft to be loaded is retrieved from the database. Data regarding the amount of fuel upon departure is entered, as well as the weights of pallets to be loaded into pallet positions. A user selects a first option for calculating within the processor the optimum location of pallets and pallet positions to obtain the optimum center of gravity balance of the aircraft, or the user selects a second option for determining if the center of gravity of the aircraft based on the entered location of pallets and pallet positions are within the center of gravity limits of the aircraft.
