General Information

Report on selected items relevant to your Canadian operations (i.e., mining and non-mining activities) that comprise this accounting entity. Under the present reporting system, each establishment report should cover all operational activities carried out within the accounting boundaries of the establishment except income from investments, such as interest and dividends, rent, or professional fees.

Please report for the 12 months ended December 31. In the event that your accounting records do not provide the detail required, your best estimate will be acceptable.

The information you are submitting will be kept confidential.

Confidentiality

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act.

Key Definition

The operating unit (mine, mine/mill, quarry, and pit or bog) is designated as the "establishment," and an understanding of this term is essential.

Establishments are, for statistical purposes, defined as:

The smallest unit that is a separate operating entity capable of reporting the following:

  • Materials and supplies used
  • Goods purchased for resale in the same condition as purchased,
  • Fuel and power consumed,
  • Number of employees and salaries and wages,
  • Person-hours for employees,
  • Inventories,
  • Shipments or sales.

The establishment is to be distinguished from smaller sub-divisions or departments that do not have records that permit them to report all the items required of an establishment.

Many firms have more than one mining establishment. Such firms are requested to submit a separate census of mining report for each mining unit that can meet the reporting requirements described above unless special arrangements have been made with Statistics Canada.

Inventory of This Establishment

The data reported here reflect the activities falling within the accounting boundaries of the mining establishment.

2.1.5 Goods in process

Goods in process of a mine/mill establishment would consist of items such as broken ore in stopes, bins, ore pockets, stockpiles and pulp, and solutions in the mill. Report to the extent that these assets are recorded in the Book of Accounts.

2.1.6 Finished products

The inventory of finished products includes the book value of all ores, concentrates, bullion, metals, sand and gravel, stone, nonmetals, etc. (i.e., final shipping product from mining/milling/screening, etc., operations) ready for shipment but still on hand at the shipping point and at preceding locations. Products reported as shipments under Section 8 are not reported as inventory here. Finished products reported on the establishment schedule should match the amount reported on the commodity schedule.

(For a non-integrated multi-establishment company, the finished shipping product from this location might be further processed at another company owned plant and would appear as an input cost of the other reporting establishment.)

Do not include:

(a) Products (that are later sold in the same physical condition as shipped from this plant) which are in transit to, or in storage at, a warehouse at another location in Canada.

(b) Final products that are shipped from this location, after further processing by a smelter, refinery or other treatment plant and for which ownership is retained by you (e.g., metals contained in concentrates in transit and metals held at a smelter or refinery).

2.2 Goods purchased for resale

Inventories include any products or materials purchased for resale in the same condition as purchased and not processed in the establishment. Please note that the purchases and shipments of such goods are reported at lines 7.1 and 9.1, respectively.

2.3 Other inventory

This inventory is intended to cover, for example, materials and supplies used in new construction by own labour force or in the production of machinery and equipment for own use by own labour force. Inventory should relate to materials reported at lines 7.2, 7.3, 9.2 and 9.3.

Consumption of Fuel and Electricity

This section is designed to obtain information on all fuel and electricity consumed by the establishment both in its mining and non-mining operations. Answers to the detailed questions should cover amounts consumed by the establishment in vehicles of all descriptions, plant and office operations, and any auxiliary units that comprise this accounting entity. Values reported should INCLUDE transportation, duties, etc., that form part of the laid-down cost at the establishment door.

If consumption figures are not available, please supply purchases and indicate that you have done so. Inventories should be reported at line 2.1.2.

Selected Mining Inputs (Used in Operations)

Report on the total activity within the accounting boundaries of this establishment. In addition to supplies used in the mining and milling operations, data are requested on ancillary operations such as materials and products purchased for resale and materials used in new construction. The total cost of lines 6.2, 6.4, 6.6, 7.4 and 7.5 should represent the cost of physical supplies or commodity items that are charged to operating costs (excluding fuel and electricity which are reported in Section 5).

Discounts on purchases are deducted from the cost of supplies at the appropriate lines. Costs to be reported at lines 6.2, 6.4, 6.6, 7.4 and 7.5.

Do not include (a) allowances for returnable containers, (b) purchases chargeable to the Fixed Assets Account, (c) the cost of services done by outside contractors, and (d) overhead charges such as various insurances, pensions, depreciation, rents, royalties, compensation, advertising, municipal taxes, medical examinations and X-rays, and legal, audit, telephone and postage costs, etc. These last-mentioned items are, for statistical purposes, not considered as part of the establishment statistics. In reporting the cost of various items used, give the laid-down value at the establishment, i.e., the amounts (after discounts) actually paid or payable. Any transportation and handling charges paid by this establishment to common or contract carriers in acquiring the materials, etc., should be included. Federal and provincial sales taxes on purchases or supplies fabricated in company-operated machine shops are considered part of the cost of operating supplies.

6.2 Raw materials, including semi-processed materials

The cost requested here applies to ore and semi-processed material purchased by the establishment and used in its mining/milling, crushing or screening operations. The value of these materials, when further processed by this establishment, is included in Section 8. The volume and value will also be reported in the annexed Commodity Schedule.

6.4 Containers and other shipping and packaging materials

Report the cost of selected containers and other shipping and packaging materials used in the shipment of your products and in your processing operations. The cost of clamps, pallets and other shipping material is to be included with that of containers.

6.5.1 to 6.5.99 Supplies

Supplies comprise those used by the establishment in the mining, quarrying, crushing, milling and processing operations and for the maintenance and repair of machinery, equipment and buildings that are not chargeable to the Fixed Assets Account. Only commodity items or physical goods should be included, and not the cost of services or overhead charges. Machinery-lubricating oils and greases are included, but not fuel, which is reported separately in Section 5, nor is the cost of repairs or other types of maintenance done by outside contractors included. Do not duplicate items entered elsewhere in Sections 6 or 7.

6.8.1.1 Amount paid to domestic smelters and/or refineries (metal mines only)

Line 6.8.1.1 plus line 6.8.1.2 from the establishment schedule should equal the total values of column 1 in each of lines 8.1.19, 8.1.29, 8.1.39 and 8.1.49 from the commodity schedule.

6.8.1.2 Amount paid to foreign smelters and/or refineries (metal mines only)

Record at Section 6.8.1 the actual or anticipated charges for smelting, refining and related treatment charges, when the mine product (e.g., crude bullion from gold mines, and ores or concentrates from base-metal mines) is further treated at a smelter and/or refinery to produce a marketable metal product. If a product is sold prior to smelting and refining, then an estimated value for such charges is declared in Section 6.8.1 and added to the value at line 8.1.170. Do not include in Section 6.8.1 any transportation costs, if by common or contract carrier, done after milling, and do not include any duty costs.

6.8.1.9 Amount paid out to others for work done on materials owned by this establishment

Costs reported at line 6.8.1.9 cover charges from contractors for other work performed for your mining, milling and processing operations such as: (a) drilling for breaking ore or waste, (b) trucking ore to own mill, (c) custom milling, (d) diamond drilling (excluding off-property exploratory drilling), (e) contract mining and development, (f) transportation costs paid to common carriers for internal haulage of supplies or mine/mill products and by-products, (g) screening of gravel, (h) washing of crushed stone or gravel, etc.

6.8.4 Amount paid out to others for non-capitalized repairs and maintenance

Include payments to outside contractors for repairs to buildings, machinery and equipment. Supplies furnished without charge to contractors for use at the mining operation are included in lines 6.5.1 to 6.5.99.

Selected Non-Mining Inputs

Many establishments, in addition to their actual mining operations, engage in ancillary non-mining activities such as the purchase and sale of goods not of own manufacture, the construction of buildings or equipment by own employees for the use of the establishment, the operation of cafeterias and laboratories, etc. This section is designed to cover all non-mining activities engaged in by this establishment's employees. Data reported in Section 7 should not be included in Section 6.

7.1 Purchases of goods from other establishments for resale in same condition as purchased

If an establishment undertakes a merchandising function, the laid down cost at the establishment is required. Provision is made at line 2.2 for any inventories involved and at line 9.1 for the sale of such items.

7.2 Materials and supplies used in new construction produced by own labour force for own use

If construction activities (including major repairs or alterations) are carried out by your own employees for your own use, and such costs are charged to the Fixed Assets Account, include at this line the laid-down cost of physical supplies and materials used in such activities. Do not include the cost of such work carried out by outside contractors, as this should be reported at lines 13.8.1 and/or 13.8.2.

The total capitalized value of such work is to be reported at line 9.2 and the employment (if a separate work force) is to be reported at line 14.1.3.1, or otherwise at line 14.1.1.2 or line 14.1.1.3. The inventory of these materials is reported at line 2.3.

7.3 Materials and supplies used in the production and/or installation of any machinery/equipment by own labour force for own use

If the establishment produces equipment or machinery, or installs purchased equipment or machinery with its own labour force for its own use, and such costs are charged to the Fixed Assets Account, include here the laid-down cost of physical supplies and materials used in such activities.

The total capitalized value of such work (excluding the value of purchased equipment or machinery in the case of installation by own labour force) is to be reported at line 9.3, and the employment (if a separate work force) is to be reported at line 14.1.3.1 or otherwise at line 14.1.1.2 or line 14.1.1.3. The inventory of these materials is reported at line 2.3.

7.4 Office supplies purchased and used

This question accounts for all office supplies used by the establishment. Do not include supplies chargeable to the Fixed Assets Account or service charges such as postage meter expenses and office equipment rentals.

7.5 All other purchased materials and supplies used by this establishment

This item covers all other non-specified commodity items that are used in the non-mining activities of the establishment. It includes such items as food, beverages and supplies for cafeterias or lunch counters, first aid and medical supplies, laboratory supplies, etc.

Include materials and supplies used in the operation of town sites or in construction activity such as the building or maintenance of roads if these are not operated on a self-accounting basis. Do not duplicate any items reported in other areas of Sections 6 or 7. Do not include service charges such as postage.

Shipments of Goods of Own Production

8.1.170 Total revenue

Include in the appropriate parts of Section 8 shipments of all products and by-products produced by this establishment or by others for your account on the basis of a charge for work done. All shipments, including those to government departments, should be accounted for. All shipments to foreign countries requiring the preparation of Form B13A - Export Declaration, from the Canada Border Services Agency, are to be reported. All transfers to warehouses serving several establishments are also included as shipments. Inventories of these central warehouses are to be reported separately. Swaps are to be considered as shipments when shipped, rather than when paid. Include the value of containers unless returnable. Goods reported as shipped are not included in the inventory at line 2.1.6.

When reporting shipments for the calendar year, give the quantity when required and the selling value of all products and by products in Canadian dollars. Values may include adjustments for prior years' shipments, the final value of some shipments made during the current year, and estimates of values for some shipments in the current year. The values reported are net of returned sales, sales allowances, sales discounts, sales taxes, excise duties and taxes, and charges for outward transportation by common or contract carriers. If the accounting records of the establishment do not provide the value of shipments by individual commodity net of the above items, please report these in total. Outward transportation charges or delivery expenses incurred by the establishment's own carriers (providing they do not constitute separate establishments) and the value of non-returnable containers are not deducted from the value of shipments. Line 8.1.170 from the establishment schedule should equal the total value of shipments reported on the commodity schedule.

8.1.171 Other Products Shipped

The general question covering "all other products" is designed to pick up any associated mining or non-mining activities not applicable under Section 9 or line 8.1.170. Include here manufactured products such as concrete products (ready-mixed concrete, blocks, etc.), asphalt mix, etc. Revenue from activities such as road maintenance or other types of construction activity performed by own employees (other than for own use), if the latter cannot be reported separately from those reported at lines 14.1.1.2 and 14.1.1.3, is included at this line. If a separate work force is maintained for these activities, report revenue from same at line 9.6 and report employees at line 14.1.3.2.

Special to Metal Mine

Other revenues are to be reported in Section 9 (excluding investment income such as interest and dividends, and revenue from the sale of used fixed assets). Revenues from these last three sources are not included in any part of this survey.

For most operators, shipments are measured and reported (for both the monthly and annual census surveys) as they are made from the mine site.

Report the concentrate production as a net figure. Do not report ore as being shipped when the ore is being custom milled on your behalf; the product shipped would likely be some form of concentrate produced on your behalf by the custom mill.

Sales commissions paid to a sales agency are considered an overhead cost which, for statistical purposes, is not considered part of the establishment statistics. Consequently, such costs are not deducted from the value of shipments nor are they reported as an input cost.

Revenue data include the value of containers and outward transportation charges or delivery expenses incurred by the establishment's own carriers and are reported on the basis of "Gross Settlement Value" of the metal elements actually paid for, i.e., inclusive of smelting and refining treatment charges.

Include any revenue from any custom work such as mining, milling, etc., at line 8.6. Do not include revenue from smelting and/or refining custom concentrates, or bullion, etc., for which a toll is charged. Such revenue should be reported on the accompanying smelter and refinery survey. All shipments, including those to government departments, should be accounted for.

To permit interprovincial comparisons, the values to be reported under "Value of Shipments" should include any smelting and refining charges that are being reported as an input cost at line 6.8.1.1.

Single-establishment firms include employees of a head, executive, administrative or sales office and any ancillary units such as warehouses or other service units located at this address or in this municipality. If an establishment has employees other than those in head or administrative offices at locations outside that in which the establishment is located, then such employees are included in the plant report if the records of those other locations are treated as extensions of the plant operations.

If the head or administrative office is not in the same municipality as the establishment, then the head office activity and employees at locations other than the establishment are reported in a separate "Head Office" survey unless special arrangements have been made to report otherwise.

If this establishment is part of a multi-establishment firm, then the statistics of head offices and ancillary units, etc., are not included in the establishment report unless such office or unit serves only one establishment and is located in the same municipality as that establishment.

Where does data come from?

Statistics Canada collects data directly from individuals and businesses, and when possible, uses existing data from government and private sector organizations. Data can also be combined from different sources to provide additional insight into a specific subject. Data collection is done in the most timely and cost-efficient manner, ensuring that data quality and accuracy are high, and that response burden is lessened where possible.

We collect data directly

Statistics Canada employs several direct collection methods to compile data essential to researchers and policy makers in order to provide them with insight into our society and economy – creating a statistical portrait of our country. Direct survey-taking methods include collection by paper, by telephone, in person, as well as with online and crowdsourcing surveys.

We use existing data sources

Statistics Canada has been turning existing data into official statistics for about 100 years. Government agencies and private sector organizations collect data as part of their ongoing operations, and once received, we turn them into official statistics. Using existing data reduces time and effort in data collection, and helps to improve data quality, accuracy and timeliness of results.

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • Calculating each province and territory's fair share of federal-provincial transfer payments for health, education and social programs
  • Establishing government programs to assist businesses
  • Assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
  • Supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
  • Indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
  • Enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions.

4. Please verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Interactive Data Visualization Products

Consultation objectives

Every year, Statistics Canada collects data through hundreds of surveys and numerous administrative data sources. To complement the ongoing work of various Agency programs, interactive data visualization products are being created to help users obtain data in an easy, attractive and modern manner. These products include hubs, dashboards and interactive graphics.

As the use of this model increases, it is important to ensure that it provides a positive user experience and allows users to obtain the desired data efficiently.

This consultation ensured that the interactive self-serve products are compliant with a set of usability principles and identified any potential usability problems so that improvements can be made going forward.

This is the first of a series of consultations on Statistics Canada’s interactive data visualization products.

Consultation methodology

Statistics Canada conducted in-person usability consultations in Ottawa, Ontario. Participants were asked to complete a series of tasks and to provide feedback on the products.

How participants got involved

This consultation is now closed.

Individuals who wished to obtain more information or to take part in a consultation were requested to contact Statistics Canada by sending an email to statcan.consultations-consultations.statcan@statcan.gc.ca.

It was noted that Statistics Canada selects participants for each consultation to ensure feedback is sought from a representative sample of the target population for the study. Not all applicants were asked to participate in a given consultation.

Statistics Canada is committed to respecting the privacy of consultation participants. All personal information created, held or collected by the Agency is protected by the Privacy Act. For more information on Statistics Canada's privacy policies, please consult the Privacy notice.

Results

What worked

Three interactive data visualization products were used to test various layouts and functionalities of these types of products. Most participants were able to complete the majority of tasks on all tested interactive data visualization products. Overall, each of the products was well received by participants; they found them to be useful and captivating. Participants also thought that they were fairly easy to use and contained useful features.

Areas of improvement

  • Some of the interactive features were challenging to use.
  • Participants experienced some difficulty in identifying which information would be found under the different sections of the products.
  • Multiple participants found some of the labels and terms to be unclear.

Recommendations

  • The functionality of interactive components should be clear and intuitive.
  • Labels and section titles should be made clearer and more concise.
  • Additional functions should be clearly indicated and instructions should be more visible.
  • A section for definitions of the terminology used throughout the products should be added.

Statistics Canada would like to thank participants for their participation in this consultation. Their insights will guide the agency's web development and ensure that the final products meet users' expectations.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Quarterly - Statement 10 (I, II)

1. Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Scheduled services - operating statistics

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Sector of operation

Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns - domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

Domestic

Includes operations between points in Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US)

Includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

Other international

Includes all other operations (including between points outside of Canada).

Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

Fixed wing

Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight - that is non-rotating wings.

Helicopter

Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

Scheduled services

Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengers1 who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

1 Revenue passengers correspond to passengers for which an air carrier receives remuneration and who are travelling with tickets purchased (a) under a publicly available promotional offer; (b) through a loyalty program or through the redemption of loyalty points or miles; (c) with a corporate discount or at a preferential fare; or obtained (d) as compensation for denied boarding. It excludes (a) passengers travelling for free, at a fare available only to persons who are employees or agents of an air carrier or are travelling on the business of an air carrier; and (b) persons, such as infants, who do not occupy seats.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

  • Flight stage A to B
  • Number of passengers = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Passenger-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Number of passengers = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered. Seats not actually available for the carriage of passengers should be excluded.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

  • Flight stage A to B
  • Tonnes of goods = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Tonnes of goods = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available tonne-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the usable weight capacity of the aircraft. This represents the load carrying capacity offered for passengers and/or goods.

  • Number of passengers = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Passenger-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Number of passengers = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

  • Flight stage A to B
  • Tonnes of goods = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Tonnes of goods = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.
