I did heard of it. Did you know how an input via yoke is send to the control surface on a B767? Via cable, via direct hydraulic actuator, ... how

From the Yoke to two parallel sets of flight control components linked together at the forward and aft override mechanisms/linkages and slave cable interconnects. In other words cables pulley’s bellcranks, to a quadrant, then to control rods which are connected to the PCA which is a actuator connected to a flight control surface.

I found some disturbing article how elevator controls are supposed to work on a 767.

“I rely on God”

Read the section about “Pilot Action Scenario”.

The 767 worked as supposed to do.
