A blade angle feedback assembly for a variable-pitch aircraft propeller rotor rotatable about an axis and having an adjustable blade pitch angle is provided. A feedback device is coupled to rotate with the rotor and to be displaced axially along the axis with adjustment of the blade pitch angle. Sensor(s) mounted adjacent the feedback device are configured to detect a passage of position marker(s) provided on the feedback device as the feedback device rotates. A magnetic shield mounted to the sensor(s) is configured to define a magnetic return path for some magnetic flux of a magnetic field exiting from a first pole of the magnet toward a second pole opposite the first pole. The magnetic shield comprises a wall member positioned adjacent the position marker(s) and configured to span a distance over which the position marker(s) are configured to be displaced with axial displacement of the feedback device.
