The aircraft flying UA2475 came in 15 or more minutes late on 10% 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.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into MCO just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 948 of 983 departures in all. A departure is left out when that flight is unknown, was cancelled or diverted, or the aircraft had sat for more than 12 hours. A flight the airline cancelled never left and is not in the count, and one flown by a substitute aircraft is matched to the aircraft that flew it, not to the one first planned.

UA2475 pushes back an average of 8.4 minutes late and reaches the gate at ORD an average of 3.9 minutes late. The 4.5 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, which is why a late pushback on this flight does not reliably become a late arrival. It spends 18.4 minutes on the taxiways at MCO, 1.2 minutes shorter than a typical MCO departure in the same hour.

On arrival at ORD, UA2475 spends 16.8 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 1.0 minutes shorter than a typical ORD arrival (17.8 min).

Departure delay is averaged over every pushback and arrival delay over every completed arrival, so the two counts differ by the flights that never reached ORD. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 24,929 departures from MCO scheduled in the clock hour UA2475 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at ORD (952,666 flights), not just UA2475’s own. More on taxi time.

UA2475 is scheduled out of MCO at 12:30 PM, in the 12 PM–1 PM bank. Departures from MCO in that hour arrive on time 75.5% of the time against 74.8% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour UA2475 leaves in is an ordinary one for MCO and explains nothing about its record either way.

The two airport figures cover every departure from MCO to every destination, so they describe the slot rather than this journey — the like-for-like comparison against the route is above. Hours are scheduled local, and a number whose schedule moved between banks inside the period has no single hour and is not described here at all. Why the hour matters.

Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route UA2475 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. UA2475 is placed in the same ordering rather than left out of it; the rows around it are the most punctual departures on the route, not all of them, so this is a comparison and not a rank. Schedules change; confirm the departure still operates before booking around this.
