Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to controlling a distribution of fuel to a plurality of nozzles associated with at least one aircraft engine by: determining a state of operation associated with the at least one aircraft engine, causing a valve coupled to a fuel supply and each of the nozzles to open when it is determined that the state of operation indicates a high power state relative to at least one threshold, and causing the valve to close when it is determined that the state of operation indicates a low power state relative to the at least one threshold.
