These systems are designed to provide efficient and reliable braking power to commercial trucks and buses, ensuring that drivers can safely control their vehicles and avoid accidents. In Newfoundland, air brake systems are subject to rigorous testing and regulation by the province’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Commercial drivers must pass a comprehensive air brake test before receiving their license to operate a heavy-duty vehicle. This test includes hands-on training and evaluation of the driver’s understanding of air brake principles, maintenance, and operation. The safety of drivers and passengers in Newfoundland is paramount. The rigorous air brake testing and regulation exemplify the province’s commitment to ensuring public road safety.

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.
