A system and various methods for determining a center of mass of an aircraft with a plurality of shock strut assemblies is illustrated. Multiple sensors, including a gas pressure sensor, and/or a position sensor, may be used to gather data and determine the center of mass of the aircraft. Various methods illustrated herein may evaluate the center of mass relative to a wheelbase axis and a wheel tread axis based on the gathered data.
