Can someone tell me where in the cockpit I can see a visual cue re. nose wheel lock on/off.

After taxing I some times forget. Getting old I guess.😬 makes for some wild rides during takeoff.😅

Thanks

It's this one here:

When in the forward position, nose-wheel-steering is on. "управление колесом " in russian.

If you want to have the nose wheel locked this switch has to be

backwards in the SU-27 but
forward in the SU-33.

You guys think this is real?

My question exactly. I was surprised the NWS on Su-33 works with the switch off/closed... but the label says "откл(ючить) упр(авление) колесом" which is "disable wheel steering" (more or less). So yes, the switch in Su-33 seems to be there to DISABLE it. Hence ON for disable. Of course, this is just my deduction, no real experience with Su-33. 😉

Yes, when I fly the 33 I have to remember how the switch works for 27 and then think: opposite

For the 27 I use: when taking off everything in the cockpit would go back due to inertia, so the switch also needs tp go back 😄
