Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for early detection of anti-ice valve failures

An apparatus for early anti-ice valve fault detection for an aircraft, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

• receive engine data associated with a flight operation of the aircraft, wherein the engine data comprises timeseries data for one or more monitored engine parameters, and wherein the aircraft is associated with an anti-ice system comprising a thermal anti-ice valve and a pressure sensor;
• extract, one or more feature datasets based on the engine data and one or more feature extraction models, wherein each feature dataset represents a data slice from the engine data that satisfies thermal anti-ice valve feature extraction criteria, and wherein each feature dataset comprises anti-ice command data from an engine control unit (ECU) and an anti-ice pressure data;
• generate an anti-ice valve fault prediction by applying the feature dataset to one or more fault prediction models;
• and
• initiate performance of one or more prediction-based actions based on the anti-ice valve fault prediction.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for early anti-ice valve fault detection for an aircraft, the at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer coded instructions configured to, when executed by at least one processor:
