Hello all, The Butterfly screen that indicates Flarm or PowerFlarm
operation is normal, but is not receiving other traffic within range,
is depicted on
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...no-traffic.png.
A big red indication (butterfly logo) that is not described in the manual.
A big red indication usually is an indication of any abnormal
situation in a cockpit, especially in a cockpit of a power-plane. For
this reason I have asked the developers of Butterfly to remove the
big red butterfly from the screen during flight, because it's
distracting pilot's attention. This is the answer that I received a
few days ago from Butterfly:

Aktualisiert von: Joachim Fetzer, 16. Sep 09:11 (CEST): Hello Ruud,
thanks for your email.
We know that a red logo is not optimal in an aircraft cockpit but
itīs the logo of our company. We will not remove it, sorry.
For any questions we are happy to assist you.
Best wishes, Joachim Fetzer AIR Store Butterfly Avionics GmbH &
Garrecht Avionik GmbH

Obviously displaying their logo is more important than an optimal
indication in a cockpit...
I don't look at the screen until I hear a beep, which means the red
butterfly has been replaced with a "threat alert", or at least a
potential threat alert.
