Methods and systems for reducing read/write head track misregistration are described. According to one embodiment, a first signal is received from a first capacitive sensor that faces a surface of a disk associated with a disk drive. A second signal is received from a second capacitive sensor that faces the surface of the disk. A determination is made as to whether the disk is being moved along its axis of rotation or whether the disk is tilting. Read/write head track misregistration is reduced based on the determination of whether the disk drive is being moved along an axis of rotation or whether the disk is tilting.
