In order to answer this question, you need first to understand what is meant by "data type".
"In computer science and computer programming, a data type or simply type is a classification of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data." Wikipedia
The data type of a value (or variable in some contexts) is an attribute that tells what kind of data that value can have.
Just like in math, we have real numbers, decimal numbers, integers,...etc also computers need to understand the what kind of data to know how to deal with it.
So, let's get back to your question,
1) what do you think about "arrival time" is?
if you said "well, it's just the date and time at which the plane arrives" then you have your answer!
2) ok, what about the reason?
Obviously, if someone asked you about the reason for doing something you would say some words that explain it, right?. This also can be applied on the reason for the flight is delayed, you need a data type that allows you to type some words (text) which in this case would be a "memo" data type.
Hope that helped!
