The pylon includes a rigid structure forming a box including an inclined lower spar and an upper spar, and an engine mounting system mounted fixedly on the structure and including a forward attachment including an attachment body including a horizontal securing surface lying flat against a horizontal securing surface of the rigid structure. The horizontal securing surface of the rigid structure is defined by a tapered shim mounted on the inclined lower spar, externally relative to the box.
