Each airline uses its own terminology. For example, here is a guide to deciphering AA operational flight info: FlyerGuide.com/wiki/index.php/Flight_Information-FLIFO_(AA) (Wiki article courtesy of hillrider).

In summary:
  • DEN: Departed at 9:18 am, 36 minutes late, due to Airport [Delays]
  • RAP: Arrived at 10:23 am, 1 hour 13 minutes late, due to "LTRN OPB"
  • Departed at 11:40 am, 1 hour 31 minutes late, due to Weather
  • DEN: Arrived at 12:45 pm, 1 hour 50 minutes late, due to "LTRN OPB"

Alternatively, you can use the [Amadeus Operational Info] option, which provides data in a more structured format (below is an example for a different flight):
