A landing gear system includes a landing gear collar and a strut assembly supported by the landing gear collar. The strut assembly includes a piston that is adjustable between a fully extended position and a fully compress position. The landing gear system further includes a rotary encoder and a controller. The rotary encoder rotates in response adjusting the piston and to outputs a data value in response to its rotation. The controller is in signal communication with the rotary encoder and determines a stroke of the piston based on the data value output from the rotary encoder.
