Abstract
A method for mounting an aircraft engine on a pylon includes positioning at least a first shear pin either in a first opening provided in a front engine fastener which is previously attached to the engine using connecting rods, or in a first bore provided in a front surface of the pylon; prepositioning the assembly including the engine and the front engine fastener relative to the pylon by placing the first shear pin opposite a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity being either the first bore, if the first shear pin has been positioned in the first opening, or the first opening, if the first shear pin has been positioned in the first bore; and inserting the first shear pin into the receiving cavity.
