Varies for every aircraft as there are lots of factors like how steep the descent is, speed, likelyhod of an engine failure, flaps, can they sideslip. In anything slightly higher performance, if you conduct a turn at 120kts the diameter would be roughly 1-1.2nm (1800-2200m). So a minimum of that is needed.
