A system for positional monitoring of a slat flap lever control assembly (10) including multiple radio frequency identification device (RFID) tags (24) operatively coupled to a movable portion (40) of the control assembly, the movable portion operatively coupled to a lever (14). Also included is a RFID reader (22) operatively coupled to a stationary portion (42) of the control assembly and in operative communication with the RFID tags. Further included is a processor operatively connected to the RFID reader. The processor is configured to transmit a carrier signal via the RFID reader to the RFID tags. The processor is also configured to receive, via the RFID reader, reflected signals from the RFID tags, each of the reflected signals comprising a different carrier frequency. The processor is further configured to determine, based on the reflected signal from the RFID tags, an angular position of the movable portion of the lever assembly relative to the stationary portion.
