The Newfoundland Air Brake Test ensures that all vehicles equipped with air brakes are properly maintained and functioning efficiently. This test is mandatory and required for drivers operating commercial vehicles. The air brake system in Newfoundland is designed to maintain the vehicle’s safe speed, stability, and stopping distance. The system comprises a compressor, storage tank, air brake hoses, valves, and brake shoes. An air pressure gauge monitors the air pressure in the system, and to pass the test, the air pressure must meet the requirements as set out in the regulations. The safety and reliability of the air brake system are paramount in ensuring the safe transport of goods and passengers in Newfoundland, and the air brake test plays a vital role in achieving this goal.

There are two types of Air Brake Endorsement:
Type 9 – Air brake endorsement without brake adjustment certification.
Type 9a – Air brake endorsement with brake adjustment certification.

Drivingtest.ca has prepared this Air Brake practice test to assist drivers in understanding an air brake system’s basic operation and function. Requirements for Air Brake Endorsement are:

1) Must complete an Air Brake Written Test

2) Must complete an Air Brake Practical Test.

This endorsement permits the holder to drive vehicles equipped with air brakes in the class of vehicle for which the driver is licensed.

To successfully prepare, consider utilizing these exams and the official Newfoundland Air Brake Manual to your advantage. The more knowledge you can attain, the better it will be for you once you decide to return to the license office to take the air brake license written knowledge test.
