Industry standard is STD +15 minutes ie STD plus 14.59 or before is on time

Within BA there are several measures, the latest stick to beat ourselves with is STD + 1 minute.This is measured by GPS clock tied to parking brake release for push back. For EU 261 it is arrival time that counts - again this is brakes on at stand. Again LHR need to the aircraft’s parking brake linked to a GPS clock - your own time keeper is not relevant.
