The one I quite liked which I learned when teaching Austrian pilots at Oxford (in 1979 believe it or not!) was:-
Power (ie max on live)
Performance (gear/flaps/cowl flaps etc)
Action (feather)
I recall my father (Hector) who was a Panel Examiner for many years attending a seminar in Oxford (probably sometime in the 1970s) with, amongst other, "Bunny" Bramson with whom he got on very well. It was Bunny who had just come up with the PAID OFF STAR mnenomic and four examiners went off in a Twin Comanche so see this new way of twin training etc. After Bunny had demonstrated the new system they were on their way back to the airfield to rejoin and my dad, rather cunningly from the back seat, turned the fuel off on one of the engines (they were I am sure quite high up when he did this!). Amusingly enough when the engine started to die all the Paid Off Star stuff went out the window as they sorted it all out!
I think they all had a big chuckle about this in the bar afterwards. By the way they got the engine going again ok!
