Abstract
The invention relates to a method for mounting an engine (1) on an aircraft strut (3) comprising engine suspension members (31) integral with the strut, the engine being integral with a suspension cradle (6) whereby it is suspended from the strut, the method comprising a step of hoisting the engine in a vertical direction as far as the strut then a step of approaching the strut by a movement of the engine in another direction, characterised in that an intermediate part (7) is fixed to the strut beforehand, by attaching it to said suspension members (31), said intermediate part (7) having an interface intended to cooperate with a complementary interface provided on the cradle (6), in such a way as to position the cradle relative to the intermediate part at the end of the approach movement to the strut.The invention also relates to the system for implementing the method.
