Which CDU page does the PF normally display for takeoff?

The LEGS page is what the PF uses to follow the flight plan during takeoff. It shows the sequence of flight-plan legs, the active leg, the next waypoint, distance to go, and any altitude or speed constraints. With the aircraft accelerating and climbing, the PF needs a clear view of what comes next after liftoff and how the aircraft will transition from the runway to the first segment of the route. The LEGS page provides that focused view, so the pilot can confirm the correct first leg and anticipate subsequent steps. Takeoff Reference is about performance data—V speeds, flap settings, trim, and runway specifics. The Route page gives a high-level view of the planned path, while the ND page is the map display. None of these track the ongoing sequence of legs and constraints as directly as the LEGS page, which is why it’s the best choice for takeoff guidance.
