Taking advantage of this moment to build VFR hours it may be still possible in some places nowadays but it may not be morally ok.
Try to make it a mission, get in touch with authorities, remote areas, small towns and create a charity group, use GA to help others by collecting donations (masks, aprons, latex gloves) and distribute them with your airplane. Some small remote hospitals may really need this. You may even get a sponsor/permission from the government.
If you manage to do something so positive like this, a lot of people will benefit from your VFR hour building, including yourself.
best of luck and #stayHome
Hmmmm, in reality you’ll just do this in order to get your hour building. 50kg of cargo in a 172 is pretty pointless. Just drive a van if you actually want to be helpful.
