If you do it be aware that you are creating a situation where you'l have less free brain space ( due flying from unfamiliar position) to build situational awareness, good decision making is based to no small degree on good situational awareness so may not be up to your normal standard.
In addition you will have distractions that are not normally present (ie coordinating/discussing the flight). Distractions are often a precurser to making mistakes you would not otherwise make.
What am I trying to say? If you do it, be more conservative than you would normally be. Start the flight with the mindset that when offered choices (by ATC, or about weather etc) you will take the conservative option on this flight.
I have no idea if I'm teaching you to suck eggs Sunfish,disregard if I am, but I enjoy most of your posts and wouldn't want to see them stop suddenly
