What does the NWC-5 chock specifically cater to?

The NWC-5 chock is specifically designed to cater to H-2 helicopters, which is a designation that includes a range of specific helicopter models used by the Navy. These chocks are tailored for the unique dimensions and weight distributions of the H-2 series, ensuring that they provide proper support and stability during ground operations.

This specialization is critical because the operational requirements for chocks can vary significantly between different types of aircraft. Chocks for fixed-wing aircraft or other helicopter classes like those outside the H-2 series would not necessarily meet the same safety or design standards specific to the H-2 models. Therefore, the design and purpose of the NWC-5 chock are focused specifically on facilitating the safe handling and parking of H-2 helicopters, making it essential for maintaining the safety and efficiency of operations involving these particular aircraft.
