Q

Block Time

A

When an A/C parks at the termination of a flight, rubber blocks or “chocks” are placed on each side of the wheels to keep the A/C from rolling. These blocks are removed when the A/C departs on another flight. “Block Time” is that period of time beginning when an A/C first moves from the ramp for the purpose of the flight, and ends when the A/C comes to a stop at the ramp at the next point after landing.
