I imagine that it would ascend to the upper limit of the airspace of the airfield or at least to the circuit altitude, but does anybody know if this is specified anywhere? I've never heard of it being mentioned.
It's a splay, predicated on runway width, you can find all that in the back of ERSA. From memory, don't quote me out to a maximum of 180 metres.
