Arrival
Start the descent earlier and hold a steady, moderate rate with collective, so there is no steep drop to stop near the ground.
What happened: The approach reached 1,168 fpm of descent, against 800 fpm for full marks.
Watch for: Vertical speed: no more than 800 fpm on the approach.
See Arrival Approach
As you slow through about 20 knots near the end, add collective to offset the loss of translational lift, together with the matching pedal. Keep some forward speed until you're close to the ground.
