Air brakes have zero determination as to whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL. The only time you need a CDL for a vehicle under 26k is when it's a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) or a vehicle hauling a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards.
Air brakes have absolutely ZERO determination in whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL.
You only need a CDL for a vehicle under 26,000 lbs. GVWR if it's designed to carry more than 15 passengers (including the driver) or if it's carrying hazardous materials in an amount which requires placards to be displayed.
Only if it's either hauling a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placarding, or if it's a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).
No. Air brakes are not a parameter in determining whether or not a vehicle needs a CDL.
Only if it's designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) or carrying a quantity of hazardous materials sufficient enough to require the display of placards under FMSCR regulations.

Air brakes are not a factor in determining whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL, in any state or territory of the US, period. The only instances when such a vehicle as you describe would require a CDL would be in the case of hazmat haulers and buses designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).
No. Air brakes are not a factor in determining whether or not a CDL is required in any state. The only instance in which you would need a CDL is in cases where the vehicle is transporting an amount of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards, or when it's a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).

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.
