Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 5713, check with Republic Airways. Republic Airways flies under contract for larger airlines, so a ticket for this flight may show a different airline code and number.
YX 5713 draws a C−. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is about an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 349 flights, with a median arrival 4 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so YX 5713 runs 10 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 99 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 349 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.6% 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 YX 5713 flies
YX 5713 flies DCA to JFK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 17:00, used on 231 of 349 flights, with 16:51 (35 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 17:00 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and YX 5713 runs level with that at 67.7%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
YX 5713 quarter by quarter
YX 5713 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 82.9% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 55.8%, a swing of 27 points on roughly 87 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.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights82.9%
- Oct–Dec 202580 flights55.8%
- Jan–Mar 202686 flights60.0%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights72.1%
Scale runs 45% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, YX 5713 did best on Tuesday at 77.1% on time and worst on Monday at 60.0%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why YX 5713 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 43% of the 6,129 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.
- 43%Late-arriving aircraft
- 41%National Airspace System
- 15%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
43% 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 6,129 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 43 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 6,129 delay minutes reported on YX 5713.
Cancellations run at 8.60%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twelve 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. 11.6% 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 same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including JFK to DCA (16), but none flew often enough under YX 5713 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DCA to JFK only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 349 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 YX 5713
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5713: 8.60% of its 349 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
