## The NTSB's investigation of this event (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 MIA97LA058](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA97LA058), Jan 1, 1997: Waco WMF-5 (N14128), Kissimmee, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain direction control of the airplane after applying the brakes. A factor was the pilot's lack of familiarity with this make and model airplane.
