YX 5832 lands a B+, level with the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.6% 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 5832 flies

YX 5832 flies DTW to SDF without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:45, used on 89 of 364 flights, with 19:55 (67 flights) and 19:50 (37 flights) next.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 19:45 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and YX 5832 runs 10 points better at 78.3%. 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 5832 quarter by quarter

YX 5832 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 87.0% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 73.6%, a swing of 13 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights87.0%
Oct–Dec 202591 flights76.9%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights73.6%

By weekday, YX 5832 did best on Friday at 84.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 68.6%. 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 YX 5832 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 7,395 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
46%
Carrier
32%
Extreme weather
12%
National Airspace System
10%

Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,395 delay minutes reported on YX 5832.

Cancellations are rare at 0.82%, 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

8.6% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 364 flights under YX 5832 in the data flew DTW to SDF. 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. 364 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.

Booking YX 5832
