Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the self-calibration of electric jacks (6a, 6b) capable of actuating a mobile member (2) of a turbojet nacelle (1) and connected to at least one position measuring member, characterized in that it comprises the steps of: moving the jack(s) into a retracted position corresponding to a first position of the mobile member, storing one or more position values fed back by the position measuring member for the jack(s) in said retracted position; moving the jack(s) into an extended position corresponding to a second position of the mobile member; storing one or mom position values fed back by the position measuring member for the jack(s) in said extended position.
