Whenever they want

Before they finish the practical sessions

Before they start the practical sessions

3 / 30

When the speed is doubled, how much more braking force is required?

No changes

Three times as much

Twice as much

4 times as much

4 / 30

Are instructors allowed to coach students through individual procedures?

60 minutes

30 minutes

15 minutes

6 / 30

What creates a longer air brake lag?

How hard you press the brake pedal

The type of air being compressed

The age of the compressor

The length of the trailer

7 / 30

Will the students be able to demonstrate they know how to confirm that the brakes have stroked into the correct adjustment during the course?

Yes

If the course time is extended

Only if there is time

8 / 30

Which is not a skill objective for the practical training session?

Perform an effective pre-trip inspection that ensures proper air brake system operation before putting a vehicle into service

Yes, they do

Yes, provided they are using it strictly as a farm vehicle

No, they do not

None of the above

10 / 30

Twice

Three times

Once

11 / 30

Why do hydraulic brakes apply instantly when air brakes do not?

Hydraulic brake lines are wider

None of the above

There's more fluid than air

Hydraulic brake fluid is always in the lines so hydraulic brakes apply immediately

Use an air brake system safely and to its maximum advantage

Provide a basic understanding of how a typical air brake system functions

To understand how the hydraulic brake system works

Provide knowledge regarding how an air brake system reacts to various failures

16 / 30

What is the purpose of the air system pre-trip practice during the course?

None of the above

To use up time if there are just a few students in the course

To verify the truck is roadworthy

For students to develop their skills

17 / 30

What else can affect air pressure flow?

81%

83%

85%

80%

19 / 30

What can cause brake failure?

No pre-trip inspections

Bad road conditions

20 / 30

What happens to the heat within the brakes?

Nothing

It stays within the brakes

The tires absorbs the heat

It's dissipated into the atmosphere by the brake drums or disc rotors

21 / 30

Why was the Alberta Air Brake Program was established?

It was a government decision
