We had a similar case in my oold centre some years back when the first Very light jets arrived. . From memory : a US Citation Mustang ( if I remember correctly) came accross the Atlantic with a flight plan to Dusseldorf, , could not find any of the waypoints , used non-standard phraseology and made 2 or 3 attempts to land before the DUS TWR cleared all traffic and let him land alone. He was met by ATC guys on the tramac who find out there were 2 old buddies in their 80s flying outside of the US for the first time having bought the jet only a few weeks before . But all paperwork , licences were OK, so they got a verbal reprimand for not having properly planned their flight, But as far as I know the BFU ( German NTSB) did not get involved.
