EXCEL Loadsheet approved by CAA?

Hi there,

Im in a small operator where the crews are doing all paperwork, FPL, ATC, mass and Balance, permits.... and till now we was using Excel to produce Loadsheets for all the fleets, DA42, Cheyenne and Beechjet.

After last EASA audit, we were told that EXCEL is not allowed for that. So, we went back to basically.... copy the one in the plane manual and draw lines.

Do they think this is more accurate?

Now the CAA is studiying the case to see if they can allow the excel sheets, but they are reaaaally slow with this stuff. (forbidding is easy)

Anyone has experiences with EXCEL sheets and CAA? Anyone uses a house made one and havent any problem with CAA?

Thanks for your feedback.
