Acquiring an air navigation easement is considered to be the same as having _________.

• A. An Ownership Interest in Land
• B. An Interest in the Land
• C. A Leasehold
• D. A Mortgage

Answer: (B)

An air navigation easement is a non-possessory interest in land. That means it gives someone a limited right to use a portion of land’s airspace for navigation without giving them ownership or the right to possess the land itself. An easement is a real property interest that attaches to the land and can run with it, but it does not transfer title or create tenancy. Because the right involved is a defined use of land (airspace for navigation) rather than full ownership, possession, a lease term, or a mortgage lien, it best fits the concept of having an interest in the land.
