Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OH5413 | 85.1% | 3.28% | -14 min | 7.5% | 884 |
| PSA Airlines on CLE → DCA | 72.6% | 6.22% | -6 min | 12.9% | 4,070 |
| All CLE → DCA flights | 73.5% | 5.49% | -6 min | 11.9% | 4,790 |
OH5413 has cancelled 3.28% of its scheduled departures (29 of 884), against 5.49% for all CLE → DCA flights — this specific departure cancels 2.2 percentage points less often than the route as a whole. Different flight numbers on the same route can carry different aircraft, crews and schedules, so this is a fact about OH5413 specifically, not about the route it flies.
7.5% of OH5413’s arrivals were an hour or more late, against 11.9% across CLE → DCA, so the long delays are less common on this number than on the route.

Why OH5413 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
screening or terminal security incidents
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for OH5413 on CLE → DCA. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed. What the five causes mean

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies OH5413 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying OH5413 came in 15 or more minutes late on 13% of the departures where its previous flight is known. There are not enough departures in both groups to say how the flight left after a late one and after an on-time one.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into CLE: 787 of 855 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 |
|---|---|
| OH5413 | 13% |
| Network, same turn | 18% |
Little slack sits between the inbound landing and this departure, so a late arrival has almost nowhere to go but into the departure.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 30 to 44 minutes. How often OH5413’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves CLE late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DCA?
OH5413 pushes back an average of 6.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at DCA an average of 1.9 minutes late. The 5.0 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. It spends 18.3 minutes on the taxiways at CLE, 2.4 minutes longer than a typical CLE departure in the same hour.
On arrival at DCA, OH5413 spends 8.1 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 about what any arrival at DCA 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 5,909 CLE departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 447,280 arrivals at DCA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves CLE
OH5413 has one departure time, 9:34 AM, so this is what that hour at CLE is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 5,909 departures from CLE are scheduled in the 9 AM–10 AM hour over the period, against 130,418 across the whole day.
OH5413 is scheduled out of CLE at 9:34 AM, in the 9 AM–10 AM bank. Departures from CLE in that hour arrive on time 86.3% of the time against 80.8% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 5.5 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from CLE, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

By day of week

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 884 records of OH5413 operating CLE → DCA, published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule; cancelled and diverted flights are reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
