retrieving data associated with one or more seat attributes associated with one or more passenger seats of an aircraft;
identifying from the retrieved data a first attribute associated with a passenger seat that does not meet a configurable threshold condition defined for the first attribute for aircraft takeoff, landing or both take-off and landing;
determining an action associated with the first attribute that can modify the first attribute to comply with the threshold condition for aircraft takeoff, landing or both take-off and landing; and
executing the action associated with the first attribute to meet the threshold condition with the aircraft takeoff, landing or both take-off and landing,
wherein the first attribute is associated with an operating mode of a personal electronic device paired with an in-flight entertainment system.
