The tail-cam view displayed on the cockpit instruments. We're on 'downwind' for runway 12 Left, flying over the Ruler of Sharjah's house (one of about 120 flights to do so every night).
You can see that the Wing Lights are on, illuminating the engines, making ourselves visible to other aircraft; and you can see the magenta lines on the screen. Used for taxying on the ground, the lines show the actual position of the extremities of the landing gear … so you don't cut corners.
The images from the speech: "From an A380 cockpit"
