An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a vehicle body, one or more propulsion units coupled to the vehicle body, and one or more processors operably coupled to the one or more propulsion units. The one or more processors are configured to receive one or more original altitude restrictions for the UAV, receive elevation information for an area the UAV is operating in or will operate in, determine one or more modified altitude restrictions based on the one or more original altitude restrictions and the elevation information, compare the one or more modified altitude restrictions with a legal altitude restriction to determine whether the one or more modified altitude restrictions are legally compliant, and if so, control the one or more propulsion units to cause the UAV to comply with the one or more modified altitude restrictions while operating in the area.
