A computer-implemented method of determining a steering angle of an aircraft landing gear is disclosed including obtaining a set of position data points, wherein the set of position data points comprises position data points of a component of the aircraft landing gear and calculating a centroid of the set of position data points. The method also includes determining an angle of an intersection between a straight line that passes through both the centroid and an axis of rotation of the aircraft landing gear and an axis that is orthogonal to a strut of the aircraft landing gear when the aircraft landing gear is at a previously known steering angle, and determining the steering angle of the aircraft landing gear based on the determined angle of intersection.
