Most small aircraft begin to align up with the runway at 3 to 5 miles away. The answer depends on the aircraft and the airport layout. For example, a passenger jet will fly at 34,000 fleet. It will get clearance to descend and begin its approach some 20 minutes before landing. It will descend as it observes air traffic and get into position with other aircraft and observe the traffic pattern. Busy airports will have a traffic pattern that may require them to circle away from the airport. On the other hand, a big airliner can take off and then make an immediate emergency landing. This requires only a few quick turns and re-align with the runway and drop down---all less than 2 miles.
