Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OH 5036, check with PSA Airlines. PSA Airlines flies under contract for larger airlines, so a ticket for this flight may show a different airline code and number.

OH 5036 earns a B−. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 3.2 hours. That rests on 346 flights, with a median arrival 14 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OH 5036's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 68 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 346 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.1% 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 OH 5036 flies

OH 5036 flies ORF to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:06, used on 92 of 346 flights, with 08:00 (52 flights) and 06:48 (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 07:06 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5036 runs 5 points worse at 84.4%. 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

OH 5036 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter OH 5036 held fairly steady: 85.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 87.5% in Oct–Dec 2025, 85.7% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 80.0% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, OH 5036 did best on Thursday at 90.4% on time and worst on Tuesday at 68.9%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OH 5036 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 70% of the 9,865 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.

The largest share of delay minutes, 70%, 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 6,930 of the 9,865 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 9,865 delay minutes reported on OH 5036.

Cancellations run at 3.18%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

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. 11.1% 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 346 flights under OH 5036 in the data flew ORF to CLT. 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. 346 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 OH 5036

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5036: 3.18% of its 346 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 3.2 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
