Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control. A system for UAV control comprises a flight control system of a UAV, an image sensor on the UAV, an aircraft marshaling signal database, and a control circuit coupled to the flight control system, the image sensor, and the aircraft marshaling signal database. The control circuit being configured to: detect, with the image sensor, a gesture from a ground crew member, verify that the ground crew member is an authorized controller of the UAV, compare the gesture with marshaling signals in the aircraft marshaling signal database to determine a corresponding marshaling signal, determine a flight command based on the corresponding marshaling signal, and execute the flight command with the flight control system of the UAV.
