A landing gear assembly for rotorcraft includes a shock absorber, a ground support assembly and an airframe linkage assembly. The shock absorber includes a force sensor to detect a pressure of an incompressible fluid within the shock absorber and a temperature sensor to detect a temperature of the fluid. The ground support assembly is linked to the shock absorber and includes an axle and a ground contact element movable in relation to the axle. The linkage assembly is linked to the shock absorber and/or the ground support assembly and includes a position sensor to detect movement of the axle between compressed and uncompressed conditions of the shock absorber. Various rotorcraft include one, two, three or more landing gear assemblies and an attitude control system. Various rotorcraft methods process sensor signals from one, two, three or more landing gear assemblies at the attitude control system to provide various rotorcraft functions.
