YX 5812 earns an A+. Nearly every flight arrives inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 16 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

These figures cover 344 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 YX 5812 flies

YX 5812 flies CMH to DTW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:10, used on 164 of 344 flights, with 08:05 (64 flights) and 08:00 (56 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 08:10 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and YX 5812 runs 10 points better at 93.6%. 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

YX 5812 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter YX 5812 held fairly steady: 92.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 92.3% in Oct–Dec 2025, 92.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 96.6% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 4 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, YX 5812 did best on Thursday at 98.0% on time and worst on Monday at 85.7%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 5812 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 54% of the 1,660 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.

Carrier
54%
National Airspace System
27%
Extreme weather
17%
Late-arriving aircraft
2%

Extreme weather accounts for 17% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,660 delay minutes reported on YX 5812.

Cancellations are rare at 0.58%, 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.6% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including RDU to BOS (16), but none flew often enough under YX 5812 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CMH to DTW only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 344 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 5812

For a booking, YX 5812 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 93.6% on time and 0.58% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
