FLO delay-share reading

The standout signal at Florence, SC is traffic scale: 226 BTS flights (2022–2022) place it #381 of 382 by book size. That quiet-book footprint sits beside a 92.5% on-time rate (13.5 pts above the 79% national flight-weighted average), 17 delayed departures, and 3 cancellations (1.33% of the book).

Delay minutes concentrate in Late Aircraft (43.5% late-aircraft, 15.2% carrier, 9.7% NAS, 31.6% weather, 0.0% security). As a quieter airport, a single late inbound can swing the month more than at a mega-hub.

On the multi-year calendar, FLO is strongest in November (100% on-time) and weakest in September (95.8%), a 4.2-point swing. Volume peaks in October (~122 flights/month). Field definitions: on-time performance explained.
