At our airport it takes around 6 minutes for a sweeper team to go in one direction ( 3200m RWY).
As stated above friction testers try to leave together with sweeping team.
But the tricky part is,when you start to vector 1st arrival to be at around 5 nm upon RWY is clear, crew leader says,that friction is still poor and they need another run.
