Why YX5707 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
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for YX5707 on DCA → BNA. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies YX5707 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, YX5707 pushed back an average of 53 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 3 minutes early.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into DCA just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 583 of 595 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.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| YX5707 | 25% | 75% | 5% |
| Network, same turn | 18% | 92% | 12% |
The schedule leaves little slack 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 YX5707’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often YX5707 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DCA late, does that still matter by the time it reaches BNA?
YX5707 pushes back an average of 14.1 minutes late and reaches the gate at BNA an average of 10.1 minutes late. The 3.9 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 20.3 minutes on the taxiways at DCA, 1.7 minutes longer than a typical DCA departure in the same hour.
On arrival at BNA, YX5707 spends 10.1 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 2.2 minutes longer than a typical BNA arrival (7.8 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 BNA. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 4,445 departures from DCA scheduled in the clock hour YX5707 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at BNA (319,633 flights), not just YX5707’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DCA
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. YX5707 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 4,445 departures from DCA are scheduled in the 9 PM–10 PM hour over the period, against 435,076 across the whole day.
YX5707 is scheduled out of DCA at 9:00 PM, in the 9 PM–10 PM bank. Departures from DCA in that hour arrive on time 70.3% of the time against 76.5% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 6.2 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from DCA 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 YX5707 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.
When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
70 min late
against a median of 9 min early
YX5707 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 9 min early, but the worst tenth are 79 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.
Percentiles over 610 operations; cancelled and diverted flights are counted separately.

Other flights on this route
Same airports, same journey, different odds of arriving on time.
| Flight | Airline | On time | Median arrival | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. YX5707 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 610 records of YX5707 operating DCA → BNA, 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.
