OH 5160 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%.

These figures cover 363 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 14 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Schedule

When OH 5160 flies

OH 5160 flies MHT to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 180 of 363 flights, with 05:44 (43 flights) and 05:30 (41 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5160 runs 5 points worse at 84.5%. 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 5160 quarter by quarter

OH 5160 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 94.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 73.1%, a swing of 21 points on roughly 91 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, OH 5160 did best on Sunday at 93.5% on time and worst on Saturday at 77.1%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OH 5160 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 79% of the 5,684 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.

National Airspace System

Late-arriving aircraft
5%
Extreme weather
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 79%, 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 4,484 of the 5,684 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,684 delay minutes reported on OH 5160.

Cancellations run at 5.79%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in fifteen 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

5.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 363 flights under OH 5160 in the data flew MHT to DCA. 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. 363 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 5160

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5160: 5.79% of its 363 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
