The only concern is when ego outweights ability. There is an incident of a new pilot taking his mates for flips the day after receiving his licence. He took off and to show off did a steep turn straight after rotation. This caused the wingtip to stall killing hima and his passenger.
Calm whether - familiar aircraft, flying around in familiar surroundings and airfield, straight and level - no problem.

Sorry, did not follow the thread - are we talking low hour passengers or pilots?
