A sensor package for sensing rotational positional data includes a stack of separated printed circuit boards that includes a first position target printed board, a second printed circuit board having a rotary sensor and a third printed circuit board having power supply components. The sensor package is included in a skew detection system for an aircraft control system, which includes a control surface having opposed first and second ends. A first drive mechanism is operatively connected to the first end of the control surface by a first rack and pinion assembly and a second drive mechanism is operatively connected to the second end of the control surface by a second rack and pinion assembly. Each rack and pinion assembly includes a respective sensor package operatively connected to the pinion thereof. A processing component is operatively connected to both sensor packages to determine presence of skew in the control surface.
