The airfoil icing controller apparatuses, methods and systems ("AIC") transforms weather and flight parameter data via AIC components into icing determinations and icing avoidance optimized flight plans based on airfoil type. In one implementation, the AIC comprises a processor and a memory disposed in communication with the processor and storing processor-issuable instructions to receive anticipated flight plan parameter data, obtain weather data based on the flight plan parameter data, obtain atmospheric data based on the flight plan parameter data, and determine a plurality of four-dimensional grid points based on the flight plan parameter data. The AIC may then determine a percent power increase (PPI) required by the aircraft to overcome power loss due to icing conditions. With dynamic, (near) real-time icing information and/or predictive icing forecast specific to airfoil type, the AIC may allow aircraft to effeciently avoid areas where PPI is greater than a predetermined percentage and/or avoid areas where dangerous icing may occur. |
