Have you tried just calling up clearance delivery "N1234, request local
IFR for multiple approaches at SQL and LVK".

they'll probably laugh at you. SQL is right under the approach path
of SFO. In fact no practice approaches are allowed there. So they
might clear you for one but you'll be holding for 45 minutes each. But
certainly coming back home it is fine and I've done it a number of
times. LVK is fine.

for the original poster, if you need a safety pilot let me know. Will
trade my time for one beer at Izzy's per approach. The same goes
for you if I need one.
