The primary legislation is the Civil Aviation Act 1982 from which the ANO follows.

Much of our legislation is based upon an enabling Act allowing for Statutory Instruments to be raised with the detail and for subsequent amendments.

Another example is the case of Building Regulations which are again set out in SIs enabled by the Building Act 1984. Building regs are being intoduced now which were not even concieved 21 years ago.
