The size of the chocks you need depends on your aircraft's weight and tire size, along with the parking surface's slope. While small aircraft might need chocks around 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in height, larger planes could require chocks that are 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) tall. Always consider the manufacturer's or operator's guidelines for the most accurate sizing.
