Aircraft operating in the pattern at VNY should be extremely vigilant to maintain the correct altitude while operating in the VFR Traffic Pattern, and Caution Wake Turbulence.

Aircraft inbound to BUR overfly VNY at minimum separation and may receive a TCAS/RA if VNY traffic is higher than pattern altitude. This may cause the overflight to go-around/missed approach. Use caution for wake turbulence from the aircraft overhead.
