Are rockets a type of air ordnance?

No, rockets are not typically classified as air ordnance. Air ordnance generally refers to munitions delivered from aircraft, such as bombs or missiles designed to be launched from the air. Rockets, on the other hand, can be ground-launched or air-launched and are propelled by their own engines. While they can be used in aerial combat, they belong to a broader category of weaponry that includes both guided and unguided projectiles.
