A method for determining a center-of-gravity of an aircraft in three dimensions includes determining a first center-of-gravity location for an aircraft in a first plane defined by a first axis and a second axis. The method includes positioning the aircraft in a tilted position by rotating the aircraft and determining a second center-of-gravity location for the aircraft in the first plane in the tilted position. The method includes comparing the first center-of-gravity location to the second center-of-gravity location to determine a component of the first center-of-gravity location along a third axis defined out-of-plane from the first plane to determine a three-dimensional center-of-gravity of the aircraft.
