The standard answer is....300 feet (USA). The glidepath angle is adjusted accordingly to provide the required clearance. "Duckunder" maneuvers are NOT recommended.

Speaking of the Instrument Landing System, can anyone here mention where, when and by whom the system was devised?
Hint: a very well known gentleman, who later on, did a "not too bright" maneuver with an Electra.
