The aircraft can manoeuvre on 23m-wide taxiways and 45m-wide runways. The French aerospace company Latecoere, based in Toulouse, developed the External and Taxi Aid Camera System (ETACS).
The ETACS consists of five video cameras and an onboard computer. The cameras are installed on the top of the tailfin and under the fuselage and the image data is relayed to cockpit displays to assist the crew in ground manoeuvres. The Honeywell terrain guidance and on-ground navigation system are integrated to the aircraft's flight management system.
