The invention relates to a method for controlling an inspection flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle for purposes of inspecting an object, and to an inspection unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises the following: recording of image data for an object by means of a camera device on an unmanned aerial vehicle during a first flight path in a flight coordinates system in the vicinity of the object; and recording of depth data by means of a depth sensor device on the unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the depth data indicate distances between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the object during the first flight path. Flight trajectory coordinates for the unmanned aerial vehicle are determined for purposes of inspecting the object, which avoids collision with the object.
