A self-study SPH Engineering course on drone methane leak detection with the Laser Falcon and Laser Falcon Plus detectors, from hardware setup to data interpretation. For new users and crew onboarding; HobiTech coordinates enrolment in India.
Throughout this course, you will gain an understanding of the full operational workflow — from hardware setup to data interpretation — using the Laser Falcon methane detector.
How it works
- After successful payment, the course is unlocked for your account in the Academy of SPH Engineering platform.
- Once enrolled, you can finish at your own pace.
What does the methane leak detection course cover?
The course follows the complete workflow of a drone methane survey. According to the SPH Engineering Academy course page, it is organised into 7 topics:
- System setup and integration – configuring the detector with the drone hardware
- Principles of TDLAS methane detection – how Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy measures methane
- Flight modes explained – True Terrain Following (TTF) and Hybrid flight modes
- Flight planning for methane surveys – route planning practice
- Preflight operations and safety – safety protocols and environmental checks
- Flight execution guidelines – operating procedures and checklists
- Data processing in DroneGIS – analysis and report generation
Which equipment is the course built on?
| Part of the system | Used in the course |
|---|---|
| Methane detector | Laser Falcon and Laser Falcon Plus |
| Onboard computer | SkyHub V3 |
| Drone | DJI M300 RTK / M350 RTK |
| Processing | DroneGIS platform |
At HobiTech you can find the Falcon Plus TDLAS methane detector, the SkyHub software package for methane detectors, the SkyHub onboard computer and Laser Falcon mountings for DJI drones. See the full methane detection range, and SPH Engineering's methane detection technology page.
Who is this course for?
SPH Engineering aims the course at three groups:
- New users of the Laser Falcon and Laser Falcon Plus systems
- Teams onboarding new crew members
- Anyone who needs the fundamentals of drone-based methane detection
Because it is self-study, each person works through the lessons alone, at their own pace, on the SPH Engineering Academy. After completing the course, students may apply for a certificate of accomplishment issued by SPH Engineering.
If your team prefers live teaching, SPH Engineering also runs a trainer-led methane leak detection course. To have your skills formally assessed, take the Methane Detector Practical Exam & Certification.
Why enrol through HobiTech?
HobiTech is an authorised SPH Engineering partner based in Bengaluru. The course is delivered by SPH Engineering, and HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India, with a GST invoice on every order.
