I invite you to watch the video on WIN Website: Role of the pilot monitoring during takeoff. You will see that the captain does not even glance once on the EWD.
The role of the PM is critical and shall be taken extremely seriously during takeoff.
I once went off the runway while practicing v1 cut in the sim with 20kt crosswind. Long story short, 100% my fault; I was 1 or 2 seconds heads down too long with the wrong rudder input cost me a runway excursion and a big slap on my ego lol. That’s why now I’m much more focus at looking outside making sure I have the aircraft under control in case of something bad happens. =)
