Do aircraft have brakes?
Yes. Aircraft have wheel brakes just like the brakes on your car. The pilot operates them by depressing the tops (or toes) of the rudder pedals. In addition, the flaps are used to slow the aircraft in flight, and many aircraft have air-brakes and/or thrust reversers to further aid in slowing the aircraft.
What do air brakes use to make the brakes work?
Compressed air.
How do you test Air brake for commercial driver's license?
You complete the written air brakes test, and perform your road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes.
How many Commercial Pilots in Canada?
There are 104,322 commercial pilots in the U.S. and 152,933 airline transport pilots in the U.S. as of 2014. A commercial pilot license (CPL), is a qualification that permits the pilot of an aircraft to be paid for his/her work. The Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate is the highest level of aircraft pilot licence and authorizes the pilot to be a pilot on scheduled air carrier's aircraft (commercial airliners).

Dose Il class a license include air brakes?
Not automatically, in any state. If you do not complete and pass both the written air brakes test, AND conduct and pass your road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, you will receive a "no air brakes" restriction on your licence which prohibits you from operating a commercial vehicle equipped with air brakes. This is only applicable to commercial vehicles, and does not prevent you from operating, for example, a motorhome equipped with air brakes (as motorhomes are exempt from FMCSR regulation).
How do you get an air brake license?
In the US, unless you have a Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL), you don't need any additional endorsements to operate a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes. If you're going for a CDL, then you need to take and pass the written test for air brakes, as well as road test on a vehicle equipped with air brakes.
