distaff, that's my favourite yet!

AF, Copilot is:

Compass: check it matches the runway designator (i.e. you're on the right runway, and the compass is correct), and the DI matches it
Pitot heat: turn on if expecting IMC
Lights: turn strobes on
Transponder: switch from standby to altitude reporting

Used as you line up on the runway. I used to do all of these (except check I'm on the correct runway) as part of the pre-takeoff checks, but my instructor taught me the Copilot list once when there was a very long queue to take off.
