Why B61574 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies B61574 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, B61574 pushed back an average of 43 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 1 minute early.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into LAX: 560 of 601 departures. Unknown, cancelled or diverted inbounds and gaps over 12 hours are left out.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late | Left 15+ late after a late inbound | Left 15+ late after an on-time inbound |
|---|---|---|---|
| B61574 | 24% | 54% | 7% |
| Network, same turn | 23% | 40% | 9% |
A long gap on the ground gives a late aircraft room to catch up, though this flight has passed a late inbound on more often than the network does.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 90 minutes to 3 hours. How often B61574’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often B61574 left 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves LAX late, does that still matter by the time it reaches EWR?
B61574 pushes back an average of 13.7 minutes late and reaches the gate at EWR an average of 5.4 minutes late. The 8.2 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so a late pushback is partly, not fully, made up before the gate. Its 17.0 minutes on the taxiways at LAX is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at EWR, B61574 spends 12.9 min taxiing from touchdown to the gate — ground time a connecting passenger sits through before they can even leave the aircraft, on top of however late the flight itself ran. That is 2.8 minutes longer than a typical EWR arrival (10.1 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 26,501 LAX departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 397,792 arrivals at EWR. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves LAX
B61574 has one departure time, 9:20 PM, so this is what that hour at LAX is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 26,501 departures from LAX are scheduled in the 9 PM–10 PM hour over the period, against 611,647 across the whole day.
B61574 is scheduled out of LAX at 9:20 PM, in the 9 PM–10 PM bank. Departures from LAX in that hour arrive on time 79.1% of the time against 81.3% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour B61574 leaves in is an ordinary one for LAX and explains nothing about its record either way.
Both airport figures cover every destination from LAX, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

59 min late
against a median of 8 min early
