300' above field elevation per ever mile on final will keep you outta trouble

@1 mile...300 AGL, 2 miles 600 AGL...so on and so forth

basic pilot stuff, works every time, no matter what airplane you're in, big or small...
But it doesnt work if you are making an approach to somewhere like Oban where there is an 1100ft mountain a mile from the threshold...
