Abstract

An emergency extension system for extending at least one aircraft undercarriage, the emergency extension system comprising both electromechanical actuators, each electromechanical actuator having an identification component arranged to allocate an identifier to said electromechanical actuator, which identifier depends in particular on a function performed by said electromechanical actuator, and also an electrical card having a delay component arranged to delay actuation of a the electromechanical actuator by an actuation delay that depends on the identifier allocated to the electromechanical actuator, the electromechanical actuators of the emergency extension system thus being arranged to be actuated in succession in an actuation sequence that is defined by the actuation delays.
