You mean if itīs not in the ANO it is not regulated?, In thought the UK CAA was a regulatory body, and that they do have a say on how aircrafts are operated in the UK, if they provide you with guidance as to how to operate a VFR flight I think you must stick to it, unless one has this kind of superior judgement you made refference to earlier.
I can think of several matters not covered specifically in the UK ANO but regulated by the UK CAA that can get you or anyone not complying in to trouble, legal kind of trouble I mean.
By the way if you have any trouble understanding my post, just let me know and Iīll get double checked for any gramatical or spelling mistake.
