The DA42 has two "weight on wheels" switches, one for each main landing gear. The G1000 MFD "Time in service" hours are the time that a DA42 has no weight on its wheels (i.e., flying hours). (The fixed gear DA40 uses airspeed for Time in Service instead of a switch -- rumored to be anything above 40 knots IAS.)
