Abstract: An apparatus and method to measure, establish and implement a desired range of travel allowed a reclining seat back portion of an airline seating accommodation. The invention, utilizing one or more base unit positioning templates is abutted to one or more seating accommodation foot structures to provide for accurate measurement positioning. A measurement bar restriction component is adjustably positioned to indicate a desired maximum reline position for said seat back portion, and a pivotally attached measurement bar is raised perpendicularly therefrom to a vertical orientation. Said raised measurement bar's uppermost end providing a reference point against which said seat back portion's initial contact indicates a maximum reclined position.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to measure and implement desired spacing between successively positioned aircraft seating accommodations. A first base unit positioning template is abutted to a seating accommodation foot structure to provide for accurate measurement positioning and a second base unit positioning template is adjustably positioned to indicate said desired spacing. Said apparatus is easily transitioned to provide for subsequent seat spacing measurement.
