And those camera spots. They have something on the tail, to allow a "safe taxi" (that's Airbus press room text).  ;D

There's also something around the gear area I guess, but their wingtips aren't discretely monitored at all. Maybe a thing to come?

The tail cam was available at the A340-600 before and could be included in some retrofit package too, for other models. I don't know if that's already available though.
Since the passengers can normally access these views too, it's at least entertaining.
As you saw, the thing is so ugly and big, it actually makes room.  ;D


But, question to active airline pilots. Could you actually estimate the room for your large wings when it comes down to the last 2 or 3 meters? Where not talking Cessna ratios here.
I mean, the pilots aren't looking out of the side windows all the time, they mainly stick to the taxiway markings and check the ground charts before, where e. g. KJFK writes that some ways aren't sufficient for "Super" or a certain wingspan while others are.
This would mean, that an A380 on the centerline of that taxiway (all those two incidents happened on a straigh portion there, so they could well have been centered) while have enough room for its wings, as stated by the charts and cleared from ATC.

So if those ground charts tell you that you are clear and if the tower/ground guys state your taxiroute in the knowledge of your "bigness", you may not become the pilot which is stuck on the side view, but the normal one being alerted to stick to the centerline or not?
