Disclosed is a method and apparatus for performing positioning of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method may include determining a first position of the UAV using a first positioning system during flight of the UAV. The method may also include deactivating the first positioning system after determining the first position, and detecting one or more motor characteristics of one or more motors of the UAV during flight. Furthermore, the method may include determining a second position of the UAV based on the first position and one or more motions of the UAV that correspond to the detected one or more motor characteristics.
