I believe you are still missing my point, licence reciprocity does NOT cover equipment (vehicle) regulations. For example, here in my home Province I’m legal to drive a motorhome and trailer combination up to 75’ long, but in Florida the law says I can’t exceed 65’ long. I cannot tell FL ‘too bad, I’m legal at home’.
Passing the air brake course IS what makes you a ‘qualified technician’ unless you have the appropriate category of mechanics license already.
Likewise, and more on point in this discussion is the ‘equipment’ requirement here and in many other jurisdictions that the air brakes be inspected daily by ‘a qualified technician’, the more commonly known ‘circle check’, before starting out each day.
As mentioned previously, this would mean your vehicle was not considered road-worthy, and could open you up to all sorts of fun & games in a lawsuit, or when your insurance company says too bad, so sad, no coverage, you weren’t operating legally or in a responsible manner.
