You can check Doc 8168 (ICAO) so...,

1.2.1.2 Sector 1 procedure (parallel entry)


a) Overhead the fix, the aircraft is turned onto an outbound heading (to a track parallel to the inbound track) for

the appropriate period of time or distance; then

b) turned right onto the holding side to intercept the inbound track or to return to the fix.


...so, TIME, when wings are leveled and for a period dependening on wind.
...Bear in mind that 220 kt is max. so, you could reduce your speed for instance 210, 200, 190 (keeping clean configuration.)
...If you are not able to intercept the inbound track you MUST return to the fix.

Itīs a nice appch.
If you are for instance, FL 100 (max.hld.) you have time to descend to 3000 ft to intercept GS.
