That usually depends on your airplane. I know it can be done in a C152 in 700 feet. I believe a DA 20 or 40 could do about the same, but I've never had a reason to try (pattern stays busy). I would never attempt that turn in an Arrow or Cherokee since the glide ratios aren't in your favor. It also depends on what you are capable of doing.
