These figures cover 282 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.4% 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

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 05:45 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and F9 4158 runs 16 points worse at 72.9%. 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
F9 4158 quarter by quarter
F9 4158 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 89.3% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 37.1%, a swing of 52 points on roughly 71 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, F9 4158 did best on Saturday at 84.1% on time and worst on Thursday at 62.8%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why F9 4158 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 6,283 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.
- 53%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%Carrier
- 13%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 6,283 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 53 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 6,283 delay minutes reported on F9 4158.
Cancellations are rare at 0.71%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
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. 10.4% 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.
Every one of the 282 flights under F9 4158 in the data flew SFO to LAS. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 282 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.
What to do with this
Booking F9 4158
For a booking, read F9 4158 as 72.9% on time with 0.71% cancelled over 282 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
