OH 5282 draws a C−. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is an hour and a half behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 358 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OH 5282 runs 11 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 110 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 358 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 13.3% 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 5282 flies
OH 5282 flies HPN to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:00, used on 100 of 358 flights, with 11:04 (43 flights) and 10:00 (42 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 11:00 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OH 5282 runs 12 points worse at 66.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
OH 5282 quarter by quarter
OH 5282 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 78.9% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 56.6%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 90 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 5282 did best on Sunday at 83.0% on time and worst on Friday at 47.1%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 36 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OH 5282 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 66% of the 11,000 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.
- 66%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%National Airspace System
- 15%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
66% 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 11,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 66 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 11,023 delay minutes reported on OH 5282.
Cancellations run at 5.31%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty 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. 13.3% 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.
OH 5282 is not only a HPN to DCA flight. It also flew DCA to HPN (358 flights, 75.4% 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. 358 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 5282
