Why F91086 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies F91086 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, F91086 pushed back an average of 43 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 9 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into PHX: 566 of 593 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| F91086 | 26% | 64% | 19% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 69% | 9% |
75 scheduled minutes is enough to clean and board when the aircraft is on time, with little to spare when it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often F91086’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often F91086 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves PHX late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MCO?
F91086 pushes back an average of 22.1 minutes late and reaches the gate at MCO an average of 12.9 minutes late. The 9.3 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 14.0 minutes on the taxiways at PHX is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at MCO, F91086 spends 13.1 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 2.2 minutes longer than a typical MCO arrival (10.9 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 3,204 PHX departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 510,310 arrivals at MCO. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves PHX
F91086 has one departure time, 12:59 AM, so this is what that hour at PHX is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 3,204 departures from PHX are scheduled in the 12 AM–1 AM hour over the period, against 613,275 across the whole day.
F91086 is scheduled out of PHX at 12:59 AM, in the 12 AM–1 AM bank. Departures from PHX in that hour arrive on time 84.5% of the time against 80.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 4.4 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from PHX, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.
