Page 177: The Air Navigation Order/United Kingdom Rules
For clarification, the UK Rules Of The Air are not promulgated by the Air Navigation Order (ANO), but are a separate statuary instrument (SI). The ANO is SI 2005 No 1970 (as amended), while the Rules of the Air Regulations are a separate SI: SI 2007 No 734. The Air Navigation (General) Regulations are another SI: SI 2006 No 601.
CAP 393 is published by the CAA and contains copies of these 3 SIs, reformatted in the case of the ANO.
Low Flying is the subject of Rule of the Air No 5, not "ANO Rule 5".
