Instability of whistler wave in collisionless current sheet is studied with numerical solution of the general dispersion relation obtained in Ref.[4] for the physical model A. As revealed by the results, the whistler wave can be directly absorbed by collisionless current sheets. On the neutral sheet (z/di = 0) oblique whistler waves over a rather wide range of wave numbers can propagate, while they are basically stable. In the ionic inertial region (z/di < 1), the obliquely propagating whistler wave is unstable. On the edge of the ionic inertial region (z/di = 1), the whistler wave is still unstable, with an increase in the growth rate, and in the frequency of the unstable wave. The growth rate is larger for the whistler wave propagating towards the neutral sheet (kzdi < 0) than away from the neutral sheet (kzdi > 0).
