These figures cover 347 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When AA 1772 flies

AA 1772 flies DFW to SBP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:59, used on 164 of 347 flights, with 10:25 (41 flights) and 10:10 (40 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 09:59 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 1772 runs 9 points worse at 75.6%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

AA 1772 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AA 1772 held fairly steady: 78.4% in Jul–Sep 2025, 78.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 71.6% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 73.0% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 7 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, AA 1772 did best on Wednesday at 88.4% on time and worst on Monday at 66.7%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 1772 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 49% of the 5,752 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Carrier
49%
Late-arriving aircraft
33%
National Airspace System
10%
Extreme weather
8%

The largest share of delay minutes, 49%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,836 of the 5,752 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,752 delay minutes reported on AA 1772.

Cancellations sit at 1.73% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.29%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The 1,360 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

AA 1772 is not only a DFW to SBP flight. It also flew SBP to DFW (347 flights, 66.0% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 347 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
