Why F91482 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
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies F91482 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, F91482 pushed back an average of 47 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 4 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DFW: 539 of 589 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| F91482 | 27% | 57% | 11% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 69% | 9% |
65 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 F91482’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often F91482 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MCO?
F91482 pushes back an average of 20.7 minutes late and reaches the gate at MCO an average of 10.6 minutes late. The 10.1 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 21.5 minutes on the taxiways at DFW is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at MCO, F91482 spends 11.0 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 about what any arrival at MCO spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 94,790 DFW departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 510,310 arrivals at MCO. More on taxi time.
