CAWIS needs to provide a VIEW to BII (Business Intelligence (BII) - and/or any other requesting application(s), so that inquiries can be directed to one a single source which allows for a reckoning of all known aircraft, all flight hours for all available years and the associated anaylsis analysis codes required for any desired breakdowns.
Data notes : flight hours data has been collected historically since 1994 (though 1994 itself, is very incomplete)
Flight hours are collected for the previous year, during the current year, so data for Current-year - 1 should always be considered incomplete until current year end.
The Operating Rule data (found on Y02) is terribly incomplete/inaccurate. Unfortunately this is the data element most frequently requested for breakdowns. Any CAWIS only retains a PRIMARY-OPERATING-RULE (the numerically highest Op rule) so, any conclusions drawn from this data should be considered highly suspect. (all requestors have been notified)

An enhancement request for flight hours breakdowns by CARS , from TSB, is discussed here

OPRULE (aka, Operating Rule/License Type/CAR) is acquired from NAPA. NACIS. (V_CAW_IS_REG_AC_OP_RULE@NNPRODC.WORLD)
Unfortunately, the data is NOT completely reliable as is presented. It’s simply 2 columns - Tail_mark, and Operating_rule - reviewed & kept up to date, each night in our the CCARCS/CAWIS synchronization routines.
However, only approximately 7800 of 3739,000 registered aircraft are accounted for in this data link. In view on any given day.
For instances where NO OPRULE is provided for a specific tail-mark, the last known OPRULE remains in effect on that specific aircraft in CAWIS. In For instances where an OPRULE is was never provided, it stays at 999 – Unknown.
...
There exists a long standing request (from AVSTATS) that flight hours be broken down by operating rule when the operators submit their AAIR, though no action has ever been taken. (requires a change to the regulation, the printed form, the AAIR code etc)
The Public AAIR data view should look something like this :
