Where to fly in San Francisco.....???

[Qoncussion]

So here's an Airmap of SF... I'll be heading there in a few weeks for business and hope to get in a few hobby flights. Can any locals recommend a few good places to fly? Specifically, I'll be staying on Lombard, and working in the Presidio. I know SF pretty well - just not the best places to fly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Black Mama thinks that you should disconnect your device from the wifi and stop updating your database. Just fly in a not-too-busy area, San Francisco is basically a big NFZ anyways.

Im flying NFZ-free. Just want some good suggestions on where to go, as some places would just be stupid to fly - nfz or not. Got any suggestions?

Yeah SF is tough w all the NFZ. If you have a car, Pacifica or Santa Cruz are always great locations.

Let me know what you find as I go to SF frequently and didn't bring the M2P this time.. but will in future.

Cheers

From looking at AirMap I think I would try to hit Lombard street for some long exposure evening shots.

Basically avoid the red zones. You cannot be inside of Golden Gate Park when you fly, but you can fly over after you take off. Be very careful flying over the ocean on the west side of town because some of that is wildlife protected where you cannot fly below 2000 feet or so. Most of the yellow helipad areas are not in use at all.

Don't know if you ever ended up flying in San Francisco, but I did get some Lombard Street shots!

Great shot! I like how you can see that car's brake lights coming into the turn.
