An air brake or, more formally, a compressed air brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to apply the pressure to the brake pad needed to stop the vehicle.
An air brake endorsement is only. required if your vehicle needs a CDL. Air brakes use compressed air to make the brakes. work. Air brakes are a good and safe way of. stopping large and heavy vehicles, but the brakes. must be well maintained and used properly. Air brakes are really three different braking. systems: service brake, parking brake, and. emergency brake. The service brake system applies and releases the. brakes when you use the brake pedal during. normal driving. The parking brake system applies and releases the. parking brakes when you use the parking brake.
