baulked or balked?????

We are trying to find (for a checklist) if its balked or a baulked (landing). Both seem to be acceptable?
We have chosen to use the (UK) English as the language of choice, otherwise there are too many differences.

Balked is American English spelling, baulked is British English spelling - no other difference.

Balked would be pronounced with a hard "a' in English, as in Malcolm. As the word is actually pronounced with a suppressed 'a' as in wall Baulked is the better spelling.

The chicken yard was populated with distraught clucking hens. Their incessant baulking was a result of the rooster being debalked....
