In Newfoundland, air brake tests are mandatory for anyone who wishes to operate any of these vehicles on the road. The test ensures that the air brake system is working correctly and that drivers understand how to operate it. Additionally, the Newfoundland government enforces strict regulations regarding air brake systems’ maintenance and inspection to ensure optimal safety on the road. These regulations aim to prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities caused by poorly maintained or faulty air brakes. With these measures in place, Newfoundland’s air brake system standards are vital in promoting transportation safety in the region.

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.
