Default Hydraulic trailer surge brakes means no parking brake?

Without parking brakes, I'd have to use chalks.


Hydraulic parking brakes seem to work fine on aircraft ranging in size
from a PA-28 to an MD-11. I can't see any reason they could not be
used on a trailer.

What are chalks?? Is this another common language thing?

Since when do you leave hydralic brakes locked on aircraft? Chock
(chalks if you prefer :-)), tie down, unlock brakes. Right?
