When testing an HEU and EOT and a verbal notification is made that the test was successfully performed, where must the notification be recorded?

• A. Air Brake Test form
• B. Engine Journal
• C. Maintenance Portal
• D. Crew member’s notebook

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is keeping an official, auditable record of braking-system checks. When the HEU and EOT test is completed and you’re told the test was successful, that verbal confirmation must be recorded on the Air Brake Test form. This form is the formal log for brake-related tests, capturing who performed the test, when, and the outcome, so inspectors and maintenance can verify the train’s braking readiness. The Engine Journal is for engine-specific events, not for recording brake test results. The Maintenance Portal is used for broader maintenance tasks rather than official test documentation. The crew member’s notebook is a personal log and isn’t considered an official, shareable record for compliance or inspection purposes.
