CFII giving Sim Instruction: This CANNOT be logged in ANY airplane related column. Not eve maybe. However it is a good idea to log sim dual given in a SEPERATE column that you create...sim dual given time might help you get a job as a sim instructor either at your airline, or after you get furloughed.
Dual Given in airplanes:
- Total Time: Yes
- Dual Given: Yes
- PIC: Yes (there are a very few exceptions, such as if the CFI has no medical).
- ASEL or AMEL: Yes, whichever is applicable
- Night: Yes
- XC: Yes
- Instrument: Log only actual IMC
- Simulated Instrument: No (VFR practice, or IFR-in-VMC doesn't count unless YOU are under the hood).
- Approaches and Holds: No (you must be sole manipulator, so a demonstration could count if YOU flew it)
- Landings: No (you must be sole manipulator, so a demonstration could count if YOU flew it)
- High Performace: Yes
- Complex: Yes
Did I forget anything?
Nope, you didn't miss a thing. I even like your idea about logging the CFII sim time given in a separate column.
I looked at the FAR you referred to and it is simply for currency but still doesn't specify exactly what landings can't be logged as a CFI. That's a gray area and I'm not too worried about it anyway as I will be doing plenty of landings on my own time.
