Abstract
A method of moving a door of a well for an aircraft undercarriage during sequences of deploying or retracting the undercarriage includes: using a temporary mechanical connection between the door and the undercarriage that is effective when the undercarriage is close to its retracted position, causing the door to be opened by the undercarriage while the undercarriage is being deployed and causing the door to be closed by the undercarriage while the undercarriage is being retracted, but releasing the door from the undercarriage when the undercarriage is close to its deployed position, and using a door actuator acting on the door to close and open the door when the undercarriage is in its deployed position and the temporary mechanical connection is interrupted.
