Narrative:
This was my first time performing a bleeds off takeoff using the new checklist. I had previously bookmarked the electronic version of the checklist; so I had it ready to go. However; this meant I was unable to have the SID up on my ipad during departure; as I normally would. Also; the placement of the ipad in the cockpit meant more heads down; away from monitoring low to the ground during a critical phase of flight. During a bleeds off takeoff as pilot monitoring I am busy! We typically do a flaps 25 takeoff when departing this airport bleeds off. I am reconfiguring the bleed system while contacting departure control and bringing up flaps on schedule. Meanwhile; I am expected to monitor the flight to ensure we are flying the correct lateral mode and making crossing restrictions and look out for the plethora of VFR traffic buzzing around just off the coast. Having that checklist printed out makes our jobs significantly easier and makes the whole procedure much safer.
