This endorsement is mandatory since air brake systems are more complex than hydraulic systems and require specific skills and knowledge to operate safely. In Saskatchewan, the air brake practical test comprises four components: conducting a pre-trip inspection of the air brake system, identifying air leaks, conducting a brake adjustment test, and performing an emergency stop. To obtain the Air Brake endorsement, drivers must complete the practical test and pass a written knowledge exam.
