Summary
SFO is a towered US Airport, although drone flight is prohibited, check LAANC just in case you can get a special permission to fly here.
SFO operates within dense coastal airspace with continuous international and domestic traffic. Aircraft regularly approach and depart at low altitude over airport boundaries and surrounding waters, creating a high-risk environment for drone operations.
