no
No. Such an endorsement does not exist for US licenses.
There's no such thing as an air brake endorsement on any US license - only a restriction for CDL holders which bars them from operating a vehicle requiring a CDL which is equipped with air brakes if they don't pass the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a CMV which is equipped with air brakes.
Only if it's either designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), or else carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards under the FMCSR. In both instances, you would need at least a Class C CDL without an air brake restriction (there is no actual air brake endorsement), as well as a passenger endorsement (for a passenger bus) or hazardous materials endorsement.
That combination, unless it's hauling hazardous materials, doesn't require a CDL at all. Now, if that was a 12,000 GVW trailer, then a Class A would be required. There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement - only a restriction, and only applicable to vehicles requiring a CDL.
No such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US license.
In the US, no - there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement - only a restriction for CDL holders who don't pass the written air brakes test and complete the pretrip and road tests in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, which prohibits them from operating vehicles requiring a CDL which are equipped with air brakes.
There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on any license in any US state or territory.
No, because there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US license.
You can't get one. Primarily, because there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US drivers licence. For a non-commercial vehicle (as defined by the FMCSR), absolutely no knowledge of, testing of, or training on air brake systems is required. It is only applicable to CDL holders. If they do not take both the written air brakes test AND conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they receive a restriction on their CDL which prohibits them from operating air brake equipped commercial vehicles.
On a US drivers licence, there is no air brake endorsement - there is only an air brake restriction, and it is only applicable to CDL licences and commercial vehicles. Vehicles of 26,000 lbs. or less GVWR only require a CDL if they're hauling hazardous materials, or if they're designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver). Otherwise, most states will allow you to drive it on the same licence you use to drive any regular passenger car, without any requirement to be trained in the proper use of air brakes.
Try looking for "air brake endorsement" in the NY driver's manual. You'll notice there isn't mention of one. The reason is because there isn't one. For a CDL driver, if they do not complete and pass the written air brakes test and then conduct their road test in a class appropriate vehicle equipped with air brakes, then they get a restriction which bars them from operating an air-brake equipped commercial vehicles.
You can't get an air brake endorsement ANYWHERE in the US on ANY class of license, because it doesn't exist.
