Does your home jurisdiction require air brake endorsement?
Are there jurisdictions about the continent that allow people to drive air brake equipped vehicles without any type of training or license endorsement?

Well this turned into a lengthy discussion mostly off the original question...
Lots of poking fun at people who think a driver should understand the operation of the brakes on a heavy vehicle... :h
I find it just as :h that nobody seems to think it's important that anybody understand the operation of hydraulic brakes on a heavy vehicle. I mean, the end result of air brake failure and hydraulic brake failure are both potentially life-threatening. At least with air brakes, the spring brakes may stop you when you lose air pressure, but hydraulic brakes won't even do that if you lose or boil your fluid.
