Abstract
An uplock for retaining a capture pin of a movable part includes a hook that is movable between a release position and a retaining position, a locking part that interacts with the hook and is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, and a detector. The detector includes a first sensor for detecting whether the hook is in the retaining position, and a second sensor for detecting a presence of the mobile part in the immediate vicinity of the uplock in the position occupied by the mobile part when the capture pin is in the hook.
