Turbine engine operational testing

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving a plurality of engine parameters from one or more sensors;
• determining a current fuel flow of a turbine engine;
• determining a predicted fuel flow of the turbine engine based on activation of a flow reduction valve of a fuel control system associated with the turbine engine;
• verifying whether the predicted fuel flow satisfies at least one criteria associated with lean blowout of a combustor of the turbine engine;
• in response to verifying that the predicted fuel flow satisfies the at least one criteria associated with the lean blowout of the combustor of the turbine engine, activating the reduction valve of the fuel control system in response to the predicted fuel flow satisfying the at least one criteria;
• and
• in response to verifying that the predicted fuel flow fails to satisfy the at least one criteria associated with the lean blowout of the combustor of the turbine engine, skipping activation of the reduction valve.
