Why UA1095 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
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for UA1095 on IAD → SFO. 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 UA1095 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying UA1095 came in 15 or more minutes late on 14% 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 IAD: 378 of 626 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 |
|---|---|
| UA1095 | 14% |
| Network, same turn | 17% |
87 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 UA1095’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves IAD late, does that still matter by the time it reaches SFO?
UA1095 pushes back an average of 4.5 minutes late and reaches the gate at SFO an average of 3.3 minutes early. The 7.8 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so on average a late pushback on this flight is made up before the gate. Its 16.2 minutes on the taxiways at IAD is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at SFO, UA1095 spends 9.1 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 1.2 minutes longer than a typical SFO arrival (8.0 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 10,265 IAD departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 449,639 arrivals at SFO. More on taxi time.
