A method determines the position of an actuating device of an element of an aircraft seat. The actuating device includes a calculating unit, an actuator movably mounted on an output shaft for actuating the element, the output shaft being connected to an angular position encoder so a position (X) of the actuator on the output shaft corresponds to a single angular position (θ) of the encoder. The method includes a preliminary submethod of automatically calibrating the actuating device including: placing the actuator at a predetermined position (Xref) corresponding to an expected angle value (θatt) of the encoder; measuring an initial positioning angle value (θini) of the encoder when the actuator shaft is in the predetermined position (Xref); comparing the initial positioning angle value (θini) and the expected angle value (θatt) calculating the angular offset of the encoder signal, with θdécal=(θini−θatt) [MODULO 360°], θdecal being between 0° and 359°.
