In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to deliver merchandise to landing locations. In some embodiments, there is a provided a system including: a remote navigational control system operable by a human pilot to control a flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with the UAV including: a two-way communication unit; a sensor configured to capture images; and a control circuit. The UAV control circuit is configured to: autonomously navigate the UAV along a first flight path to a navigational waypoint according to autonomous operation; communicate with the control system when the UAV arrives at the navigational waypoint; await instructions from the control system for landing the UAV; transmit images of the landing location to the control system; and guide the UAV along a second flight path to the landing location based on human pilot navigation instructions.
