This is a study of the feasibility of restraining a parked alert aircraft with chocks which could be safely taxied over. Chocks were designed and then evaluated during SAC Giant Match II exercise. The chocks successfully restrained a parked aircraft and allowed a heavy weight aircraft to safely taxi over when the chocks were placed on a rough surface. Roll-over chock use was expanded command wide in 1980 for B-52G and KC-135 alert aircraft except on icy surfaces. Three ice gripping surface designs were evaluated in January 1981. All three designs performed successfully. (Author)
