A linear connection is associated with a nonlinear connection on a vector bundle by a linearization procedure. Our definition is intrinsic in terms of vector fields on the bundle. For a connection on an affine bundle, our procedure can be applied after homogenization and restriction. Several applications in classical mechanics are provided.
