real life flying means finding a break , knowing where you are and then going for it.
if you don't take the first break, there might not be a second.
this is a little like barnstorming, but either you know what you are doing or you become extinct.
a piece of advice to the original poster.
as you seem unsure of this concept, please, only try it in good wx before you do it in bad wx. in this way, you can understand the communications, coordination and study the terrain in good wx. you can also try the concept of using the localizer only approach.
and if ATC clears you for one apch, advise them you plan to do the other apch and get an amended clearance.
good luck, fly safe, support your local flight instructor (professional).
