Was a single stick shaker typical for transport category aircraft of that era?
Yes,all of the 737-200's and 727-200's along with the the DC-10's at the airline I worked for had a single AOA and single stick shaker.After this accident they all were modified to dual AOA's and dual channel stall warning systems.
