A method for determining a Center of Gravity of an aircraft, which is independent of measuring the aircraft weight. The total aircraft weight is determined by a method independent of measuring the weight supported by the main landing gear struts. The weight supported by the nose landing gear strut is subsequently measured. The measured weight associated with nose landing gear is subtracted from the independently determined total aircraft weight, to determine a calculated weight supported by the combined main landing gear struts. The resulting determined weight supported by the combined main landing gear is compared to the independently determined total aircraft weight, and allows for determination of the aircraft Center of Gravity. Inversely the measured nose strut weight is compared to the total aircraft weight, and allows for determination of the aircraft Center of Gravity. Aircraft Center of Gravity is determined without the total aircraft weight being measured.
