Using aircraft chocks is an important part of aircraft parking and safety procedures. Here is the correct method of using aircraft chocks and the reason for parking an aircraft facing into the wind:
Correct method of using aircraft chocks:
• Chocks are typically positioned in front of and behind the aircraft’s wheels to prevent it from rolling or moving unintentionally.
• Ensure that the chocks being used are appropriate and compatible for the size and weight of the aircraft. Different aircraft types may require specific chocks designed to withstand the load.
• The chocks should be placed securely and snugly against the aircraft wheels, with the wedge-shaped side facing the direction of intended aircraft movement. This provides the maximum resistance against aircraft motion.
Park the aircraft facing into the wind:
Parking an aircraft facing into the wind is done to take advantage of the aerodynamic forces acting on the aircraft. When an aircraft is parked facing into the wind, the airflow creates additional resistance against the aircraft’s forward movement. This helps improve the effectiveness of the aircraft’s brakes, making it easier to keep the aircraft stationary and preventing it from rolling.
Control during engine start-up: If the aircraft’s engines need to be started while parked, facing into the wind can help provide better control. The airflow over the aircraft’s control surfaces, such as the rudder and elevators, helps maintain better stability and control authority during engine start-up procedures.
It’s important to note that while parking an aircraft facing into the wind is generally recommended, there may be specific situations or operational considerations where parking downwind is necessary or preferred. Pilots and ground personnel should always follow the guidance provided by the aircraft manufacturer, airport authorities, and applicable regulations for proper aircraft parking procedures.
