BUR RUNWAY 8 ARRIVALS

Aircraft arriving on Runway 8 at BUR should exercise increased vigilance for VFR traffic operating in the VNY traffic pattern and the increased potential for a Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System Resolution Advisory (TCAS RA).

VNY departing VFR aircraft climb in the west downwind up to 2300’ MSL.

VNY west traffic pattern altitude is 2002’ MSL.

VNY PATTERN TRAFFIC

Aircraft operating in the VNY traffic pattern should exercise increased vigilance to maintain the published traffic pattern altitude.

Aircraft inbound to BUR overfly VNY in close proximity to VNY traffic and may receive a TCAS RA if VNY aircraft operate above the published traffic pattern altitude. A TCAS RA may result in the BUR arrival executing a go-around or missed approach.

VNY traffic should use caution for wake turbulence from BUR arrivals overflying the airport.
