An apparatus (500) for detecting skew in a slat of an aircraft wing includes an elongated track (502) moveably supported in the wing (504) for longitudinal movement toward and away from a leading edge (506) of the wing. The slat (510) is coupled to a forward end (508) of the track for conjoint movement therewith. An actuator (522) is configured to selectably drive the track and slat between retracted and extended positions relative to the leading edge of the wing. A pinion gear (530) is rotatably mounted in the wing and disposed in rolling engagement with a rack gear disposed on the track, and a sensor (532) is coupled to the pinion gear and configured to sense the longitudinal position of the slat as a function of a rotational position of the pinion gear.
