Abstract
A naval platform has a zone for the deck landing/take-off of an aircraft and an aircraft handler, to move the aircraft over the deck landing/take-off zone. The aircraft handler includes a body in the form of a bar for gripping and securing the main landing gear of the aircraft, provided with an anchoring hook mounted to slide in at least one rail, guiding the the aircraft on the deck landing/take-off zone. The hook is retractable, allowing the release of the body in the form of a gripping and securing bar from the rail, the body gripping the landing gear of the aircraft. The movement of the aircraft brings the body into position on the rail, and the hook into a position in which it faces the rail, and the hook back into an anchoring position in the rail in order to secure the aircraft.
