You said that a logic step lasts 91 seconds. I would say that a good interval would be between 1 and 4 logic steps, i.e. 1.5 - 6 minutes. A delay longer than this wouldn't make much sense imo

In other words, aircraft must wait for the whole logic steps cycle before calling for reinforcements? That sounds rasonable
