Why YX5692 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding, fueling — within the carrier’s control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for YX5692 on BOS → DCA. A single late flight can carry more than one cause, and only delays of fifteen minutes or more are attributed at all.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves BOS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DCA?
On arrival at DCA, YX5692 spends 5.2 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 2.5 minutes shorter than a typical DCA arrival (7.6 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 DCA. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 43,804 departures from BOS scheduled in the clock hour YX5692 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at DCA (435,126 flights), not just YX5692’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves BOS
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. YX5692 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 43,804 departures from BOS are scheduled in the 7 AM–8 AM hour over the period, against 440,893 across the whole day.
YX5692 is scheduled out of BOS at 7:35 AM, in the 7 AM–8 AM bank. Departures from BOS in that hour arrive on time 85.5% of the time against 77.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 8.3 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from BOS 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 YX5692 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. YX5692 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.
Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 611 records of YX5692 operating BOS → 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 excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately. Flight numbers are resolved as carrier plus number plus route, because the same number serves different routes over time.
