Human Factors
Flying RNAV Runway 27 SAN appeared to be a drone approximately 1;000 ft. below and offset to the north of our position as we turned past SAYAE. The drone was moving east. No evasive action was required. Reported to Tower and no approved drone activity was sanctioned at that time. Same as above. All drones should be equipped with transponders.
Reporter had no additional information.
Air carrier Captain reported seeing a UAS while on final approach and reported the incident to ATC.
