Introducing the Falcon-XL aerial methane detector: A simple, easy-to-use methane detection system for fixed-wing aircraft. The Falcon-XL was built to drastically lower the cost of leak surveys for pipeline owners. This system operating on fixed-wing aircraft can be flown for a fraction of the cost of traditional helicopter systems. The Falcon-XL can be used as part of a pipeline integrity management program to comply with the leak detection requirements of the new DOT and EPA regulations. It allows existing pipeline patrol aircraft to find gas leaks while on routine patrols.
