The present disclosure provides methods and systems for propeller balancing of an aircraft comprising a propeller (102). Acceleration data is obtained from an acceleration sensor (204) coupled to the aircraft. The acceleration data is filtered using a filter (264) to obtain propeller-specific vibration data, the filter defining a range of acceptable frequencies associated with a frequency of rotation of the propeller (102). The propeller-specific vibration data is compared to trend data associated with the propeller (102). When the propeller-specific vibration data differs from the trend data beyond a predetermined threshold, an alert indicative of a balancing need for the propeller (102) is issued.
