Why OH5447 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
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies OH5447 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, OH5447 pushed back an average of 43 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 5 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into CLT: 739 of 797 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OH5447 | 16% | 60% | 11% |
| Network, same turn | 18% | 85% | 10% |
48 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 45 to 59 minutes. How often OH5447’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often OH5447 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves CLT late, does that still matter by the time it reaches IAD?
OH5447 pushes back an average of 15.3 minutes late and reaches the gate at IAD an average of 11.2 minutes late. The 4.1 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. It spends 23.7 minutes on the taxiways at CLT, 2.3 minutes longer than a typical CLT departure in the same hour.
On arrival at IAD, OH5447 spends 6.4 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 1.2 minutes shorter than a typical IAD arrival (7.5 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 52,301 CLT departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 174,895 arrivals at IAD. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves CLT
OH5447 has one departure time, 6:05 PM, so this is what that hour at CLT is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 52,301 departures from CLT are scheduled in the 6 PM–7 PM hour over the period, against 633,368 across the whole day.
OH5447 is scheduled out of CLT at 6:05 PM, in the 6 PM–7 PM bank. Departures from CLT in that hour arrive on time 65.2% of the time against 74.6% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 9.4 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from CLT, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
57 min late
against a median of 5 min early
OH5447 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 5 min early, but the worst tenth are 62 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.
