Abstract
A system and method for determining a skew level of a movable control surface in an aircraft. A position of an inboard and outboard side of the movable control surface are determined by RFID readers and RFID tags. As the tags move past the readers, the positioning of each side of the movable control surface may be compared to determine the skew level. Actions can be taken if the skew level exceeds predetermined threshold values.
