1. An emptying and monitoring device for emptying an on-board reservoir of a fluid drained from an engine of an aircraft and for monitoring the fluid drained from the engine of the aircraft, the emptying and monitoring device comprising:
an articulated pole incorporating an extensible first intake passage configured to establish a leak-tight connection with an emptying passage disposed on the aircraft for receiving, directly from the aircraft, the fluid drained from the engine, and
a first quality sensor assembly for detecting at least one quality parameter of the fluid drained from the engine having been admitted through the first intake passage.
