A system for an aircraft (12) that includes a plurality of zones including:a first fiber optic cable (26A, 26E, 26) routed through a zone of the plurality of zones. The first fiber optic cable (26A, 26E, 26) is attached to a landing gear (42A) of the aircraft (12) in the zone of the plurality of zones;and a first controller configured to provide a first optical signal to the first fiber optic cable (26A, 26E, 26) and obtain a first optical response signal from the first fiber optic cable (26A, 26E, 26). The first controller is further configured to determine at least one temperature within the zone of the plurality of zones based on the first optical response signal, the first optical signal, and coherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (COFDR).
