A method for controlling movement of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes controlling one or more propulsion units of the UVA to cause the UAV to operate according to a first set of altitude restrictions; assessing, with aid of the one or more processors and based on one or more criteria, whether to control the UAV to operate according to a second set of altitude restrictions; and controlling the one or more propulsion units to cause the UAV to operate according to the second set of altitude restrictions in response to the one or more criteria being fulfilled according to an assessing result. The first set of altitude restrictions constrain an altitude of the UAV relative to a first reference altitude. The second set of altitude restrictions constrain the altitude of the UAV relative to a second reference altitude.
