An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having flight control components for controlling the speed, altitude, and direction of flight of the UAV. A control circuit is configured to generate flight control outputs that control the flight control components. A receiver receives flight control inputs from a remote controller, wherein the received flight control inputs are utilized by the control circuit to generate the flight control outputs. An altitude determining circuit configured to determine an altitude of the UAV. An altitude override circuit, embodied in the control circuit, operative when the altitude is determined to exceed a predetermined altitude limit, and configured to override conflicting flight control inputs and generate flight control outputs to control the flight control components to reduce the altitude of the UAV.
