A method is provided for supporting operations of an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) on a flight in an airspace system. The method includes receiving instructions that describe a cleared path the UAV is authorized by an air navigation service provider (ANSP) to travel through the airspace system. The method includes determining guidance modes of the UAV based on the instructions, and engaging the guidance modes in which the UAV is caused to perform the procedures to carry out the flight. The guidance modes indicate procedures of the UAV, the guidance modes including lateral flight modes and vertical flight modes, that are subject to rules defined by the ANSP for travel through the airspace system under instrument flight rules (IFR), and the lateral flight modes and the vertical flight modes are separate and independent from one another.
