while flying is it possible to pass the PIC to the co-pilot? so both of us will be having PIC hours and DUAL at the same time.

    I have been on flights in which my friend and I have “passed” ultimate flight responsibility.

    But “dual” is shorthand for “flight training received.” And on training flights when the trainee is a rated pilot, both pilot and instructor log PIC regardless of who is in command. Add to that, the regulatory separation between acting a pilot in command and logging pilot in command flight time, and I have no idea what you are asking.
