Embodiments of the present invention relate to a path planning method and apparatus for an unmanned aerial vehicle, a flight management method and apparatus and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method includes: determining a start point and an end point of flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle; determining a flight route of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the start point and the end point; obtaining a height of an obstacle on the flight route; determining whether a height at which the unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of flying is greater than the height of the obstacle; and if yes, flying, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, at a height greater than the height of the obstacle according to the flight route. According to the embodiments of the present invention, height information of an obstacle on a flight route of an unmanned aerial vehicle is obtained and whether a height at which the unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of flying is greater than a height of the obstacle is determined. If the height at which the unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of flying is greater than the height of the obstacle, the unmanned aerial vehicle can fly at a height greater than the height of the obstacle according to the flight route. Therefore, the unmanned aerial vehicle is precisely controlled.
