A method for managing a flight plan for an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method includes providing a preliminary flight plan for the unmanned aerial vehicle, flying the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the preliminary flight plan, monitoring a location of the flying unmanned aerial vehicle, executing flight planning actions when the location is proximal to at least one asset, and modifying the preliminary flight plan based on the executed flight planning actions. The preliminary flight plan includes a set of geographical coordinates constituting a flight route of the unmanned aerial vehicle, data related to at least one asset associated with the flight route, and a flight environment model of an environment comprising the at least one asset. The flight planning actions include obtaining information related to at least one asset and a region around the at least one asset, and comparing the obtained information with the flight environment model.
