A dual-stage, separated gas/fluid shock strut arrangement includes a dual-stage, separated gas/fluid shock strut and a monitoring system. The shock strut includes a strut cylinder, a strut piston operatively coupled to the strut cylinder, an oil chamber, a primary gas chamber, and a secondary gas chamber. The monitoring system includes a first pressure/temperature sensor, a second pressure/temperature sensor, a stroke sensor, a recorder configured to receive a plurality of sensor readings from the first pressure/temperature sensor, the second pressure/temperature sensor, and/or the stroke sensor, a landing detector configured to detect a landing event based upon a stroke sensor reading received from the stroke sensor, and a health monitor configured to determine a volume of oil in the oil chamber, a primary chamber gas volume in the primary gas chamber, and a secondary chamber gas volume in the secondary gas chamber.
