From the FAA registry file of October 24, 2026. ADs below are matched by the registry's airframe and engine model codes. They may apply; each AD's applicability can narrow it by serial number, part number or installed equipment. This is not a compliance determination. The registry lists only the engine series, so ADs for every Continental A&C65 model are included.

## NTSB investigations

None matched to N1935.

## NTSB investigations on N1935 not matched to an aircraft (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB LAX68I0051](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX68I0051), Nov 12, 1967: Boeing 727 (N1935), Alamosa, CO, incident, minor damage

## FAA accident and incident reports

None matched to N1935.

## Reports on N1935 not matched to an aircraft (1)

They name N1935, but no registry record covers the date, the aircraft registered then was built later, or the report describes another aircraft.

- [Incident 19780421012779I](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19780421012779I), Apr 21, 1978: Boeing 72723 (N1935), Dallas, TX. Engine shut down because of high EGT & vibration. Returned to departure point. Turbine failure.

## Service difficulty reports

None filed for this aircraft. Matched to this aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model.

## STCs that may be installed (OpenAirDocs) (70, first 50)

Approved for this aircraft's airframe or engine model, in force first, then newest. The registry doesn't record which STCs an aircraft has; its records do.
