A method and apparatus for normalizing the acceleration constant used by a servo control system in a disc drive are disclosed. The method and apparatus involve performing a test seek and summing the position error measured at sample periods during the deceleration phase of the test seek. A correction factor applied to the acceleration constant is adjusted if the sum of the position errors differs from the sum of position errors measured from a nominal seek. Adjusting the correction factor to cause a position error sum that is close or equal to the sum from the nominal seek provides a relatively symmetrical seek arrival without additional correction factor offsets or gain variances.
