A system for monitoring actuation of a flight control surface, the flight control surface being connected to a track that moves the flight control surface between at least a retracted position and an extended position, the system including a rack connected to the track, a pinion engaged with the rack and a rotation detector operatively connected to the pinion. 1. A system for monitoring actuation of a flight control surface , said flight control surface being connected to a track that moves said flight control surface between at least a retracted position and an extended position , said system comprising:a rack connected to said track;a pinion engaged with said rack; anda rotation detector operatively connected to said pinion.2. The system of wherein said rack is elongated along a longitudinal axis.3. The system of wherein said longitudinal axis is curvilinear.4. The system of wherein said rack is connected to said track by at least one mechanical fastener.5. The system of wherein said rotation detector comprises a rotary variable differential transformer.6. The system of further comprising a guide claim 1 , wherein said rack is positioned between said guide and said pinion.7. The system of wherein said flight control surface is a slat.8. An aircraft comprising:a flight control surface;a track connected to said flight control surface, wherein said track moves said flight control surface between at least a retracted position and an extended position;a rack engaged with a pinion, wherein said pinion is rotatable about an axis of rotation in response to movement of said rack relative to said pinion, and wherein one of said rack and said pinion is connected to said track; anda rotation detector operatively connected to said pinion.9. The aircraft of further comprising a wing comprising a leading edge rib claim 8 , wherein said flight control surface is a slat claim 8 , and wherein said track moves said slat relative to said leading edge rib.10. The aircraft of wherein ...
