Abstract

An Eyepiece-support arm assembly device on an aircraft. The device comprises flanges formed on the eyepiece-support arm and on a support attached to the aircraft, along with a retention belt (32) liable to be set to a locking status, wherein the arm is immobilised in relation to the support, a setting status, wherein the arm can be moved between a position for use and a retracted position, and a disassembly status allowing the assembly and disassembly of the eyepiece-support arm, without modifying the setting. The status is changed by operating levers (44, 46).
